DCNS to Showcase Digital Ship Technologies
Naval defense services and systems provider and integrator DCNS said it will showcase its digital and high technology naval solutions at the Euronaval Exhibition from October 17-21, 2016 in Paris-Le Bourget.
These solutions, according to DCNS, aim to address the new generation of operators in the coming years, which includes naval and industrial autonomy. A rundown of the technologies is as follows:
- SMX 3.0 concept-ship - This new concept-ship is a submarine tailored to the needs of Generation Z. On board, 3.0 technologies, better power management, excellent operational performance in an unequal mastered digital environment. An emphasis on the system upgradeability allows constant improvement.
- The new 4,000t frigate by DCNS - The new innovative and digital frigate imagined by DCNS benefits from the French Navy’s feedback and the FREMM frigate developments. She gets high-performances meeting the requirements of the French customer. Meanwhile, she will fit the needs of international Navies clients.
- FC2G AIP – Fuel Cell: Second-generation Air-Independent Propulsion - DCNS has developed the second generation AIP system using fuel-cell technology. FC2G AIP provides the best possible dive autonomy in total safety and easy support.
- Cybersecurity - The digital systems on DCNS’s future combat vessels will be protected by design. DCNS, as project management leader and integrator of the armed vessel, integrates cybersecurity over the entire lifecycle of its products and services, which are designed to be cyber-resilient.
- Naval integration of drones and shipborne data centers - As a naval systems integrator, DCNS has developed a new naval-integration system for drones on board its vessels to extend intervention capacities by ensuring a better interface with the platform. Furthermore, the Group has developed a new architecture for the management of data-system infrastructures aboard, called Access, to facilitate system upgradeability and protection. As for In-Service Support, DCNS has been developing “imaintenance”, a predictive maintenance to provide advanced support system and devices connected to the ship control management system.
- Command Information center (CIC) of the future - DCNS is integrating into the NextGen CIC solutions that simplify and make more intuitive system operation and algorithm-based decision-support systems allowing better situational analysis.
- Control Room - In partnership with the French Navy, DCNS has developed a Control Room for improved integration of subsystems into the combat system, greater automation promoting high added value tasks and greater simplification with more intuitive MMIs.
