Description
Since WWI, the terms “German Navy†and “U-Boats†have been virtually synonymous. Non-nuclear submarines remain a mainstay of today’s German Navy (Deutsche Bundesmarine).
The German shipbuilding industry remains a global technology leader in conventional submarine development. Modern day “U-Boats†are sought after by NATO allies, by Israel, and by other nations around the world. In fact they are a leading export item for Germany’s military industry. And the German Navy’s U-Boat flotilla is a welcome partner in ongoing NATO and EU security operations.
Some experts believe that German conventional submarines have actually assumed the technological lead over nuclear submarines.
“U-Boats ‘Made in Germany’†takes a look at current and future submarine technology being produced or developed in Germany today. Advances in Air Independent Propulsion and Fuel Cell Technology; state-of-the-art Command and Control systems such as the ISUS90 system currently deployed on Class 212A U-Boats; improved sonar, communication suites, and IFF systems; acoustic and electric signature reduction technology; and current as well as developmental weapon systems against underwater, surface, land and aerial targets are all discussed.
