Naval Group from France unveils SMX31E newest electric-powered submarine concept naval industry

0:00
At EuroNaval Online, the digital edition of EuroNaval 2020 International Naval Defense
0:21
and Maritime Security Industry Exhibition, the French company Naval Group unveiled the
0:26
SMX-31E, newest electric-powered submarine concept that integrates the latest digital technologies for reinforced operational efficiency and significant versatility of use
0:40
Stéphane Meunier, Marketing Manager for Naval Group, presents for us the new concept of submarine SMX-31E
0:47
Think about the future. Not so far away, oceans will be under permanent control
0:52
Navies will have to operate in more and more intricate environments, among shallow waters and very complex oceanic environments
1:01
So, submarines have to be more and more stealth, autonomous, flexible in its mission
1:10
and as far as possible connected to the rest of the fleet
1:15
Imagine you can remain submerged for weeks, months, thanks to huge batteries and a very powerful
1:24
management of the energy on board. It will change the life of submariners
1:31
and you can reach performances which are, today, non-available. Second point, stealth. Thanks to perfectly hydrodynamic ships inspired by biomimetics
1:47
this submarine will remain undetectable. It's also available against active threats, active sonars emissions, which will be absorbed by a specific coating designed for that
2:03
Third point, SMX-31E will be a very smart submarine. It will be able to process a lot of data
2:15
We are talking about big data coming from all sensors fitted on board this submarine
2:20
It will be fitted also with artificial intelligence able to present data, information
2:27
to the commanding officer and the crew to increase the ability of the crew
2:35
of mastering the tactical picture. Last point, SMX-31E is not only a smart ship
2:44
it is also a part of a more comprehensive fleet, and it will be connected to all the fleet
2:54
thanks to underwater network, remote sensors, drones, and so on, communication means, for
3:02
example. So, this submarine will be able to operate in an extended underwater battlefield
3:09
and it will be able to cover patrol areas 10 times larger than before
3:17
So, to conclude, because innovations and performances are linked, Naval Group is proud
3:25
of developing these technological blocks which are developed for SMX-31E, and will help us to project ourselves in the future
