ALL THE EXPERIENCE OF A WORLD LEADER IN NAVAL DEFENCE

DCNS is the European leader in naval defence and a major player

in marine renewable energies. As an international high-tech company,

DCNS uses its extraordinary know-how, unique industrial resources

and capacity to arrange innovative strategic partnerships to meet

its clients’ requirements. The Group designs, produces and supports

submarines and surface ships. The Group also provides services

for naval shipyards and bases. In addition, the Group offers a wide

range of marine renewable energy solutions.

Expertise in equipmentDCNS designs and manufactures innovative, high

performance equipment for submarines and surface ships.

A recognised know-how in the fields of weapon launching,

weapon handling, propulsion systems design and

manufacturing, and secured manœuvering of helicopters.

All equipment are sea proven, combat proven and

developed in the frame of major DCNS programmes. DCNS has

chosen to maintain the capability to manufacture strategic

components. More than 30 foreign navies have selected

DCNS equipment. Major worldwide programmes, from

today and for tomorrow, are including equipment designed

and manufactured by DCNS.

Customer supportOur customers have a great visibility on the industrial

milestones from the construction until the set-up phases

on-board. During the operating life, DCNS is capable of

maintaining the vessels and the equipment installed on board.

Industrial capabilitiesDCNS is operating appropriate facilities and is maintaining a

significant number of industrial capabilities for manufacturing

associated equipment and as such allowing its strategic

independence. The equipment is developed thanks to high

skilled engineers in various fields (i. e. mecatronic, electronics,

hydrodynamics, pyrotechnic…) who are applying up to date

engineering methods which could be part of technology

transfer programs.

Naval gearboxes• Military shock resistant.

• Low acoustic signature.

• Can meet flooded compartment requirements.

• Optimal power to weight ratio/density.

• Product range for all kind of vessels: raft mounted CODAD, combined diesel or gasturbine, combined diesel electric and/or gas turbine, etc.

FULLY INTEGRATED POWER-PROPULSION SYSTEMS

SCORPENE® propulsion design.

ENHANCED WARSHIPS PERFORMANCE

Due to the long history of DCNS as propulsion system supplier,

(more than 100 years), the constant innovation in power and propulsion

systems is guaranteed. The critical elements for propulsion are kept in

house such as systems for direct driven, nuclear powered submarines

with very silent, shock proof and compact gearboxes. The modern

approach of power and propulsion systems is highlighted in the FREMM

frigate CODLAG, (combined diesel electric and gas turbine), where

for 80% of the vessel time, the economic electric mode is used. When

top-speed is needed, the gas turbines will run over a cross connected

gearbox. Another invention is the Raft-Mounted Propulsion System

(RMPS), especially for silent anti-submarine warfare frigates, where the

engines and the gearboxes are resilient mounted on one single foundation.

PROPULSION SYSTEM INTEGRATOR

The propulsion system design and manufacturing are key strategic

expertises developed by DCNS. DCNS propulsion systems are military

shock resistant and contribute to the platform stealth. DCNS has

the expertise to operate as Mechanical System Integrator (MSI)

and Propulsion System Integrator (PSI). Engineering, manufacturing,

on-board installation and through-life support of shaftlines, gearboxes

and propellers are developed by the company.


WEAPON LAUNCHING

SOLUTIONS

Innovative, powerful, reliable

and safe launching systems.

In 1751, Ruelle begins operation as a forge producing cannons. Today, DCNS

offers a wide range of weapon launching systems adapted to the various missions

that surface ships have to carry out.

VERTICAL LAUNCHING SYSTEMS SYLVER®

The SYLVER® is designed to accommodate a wide range of missiles:

SYLVER® A43, for defence missiles.

SYLVER® A50, for tactical missiles.

SYLVER® A70, for deep-strike missiles.

The SYLVER® launchers can be integrated on almost every type

of warship, from aircraft carriers to patrol vessels.

DCNS began development work on the SYLVER® in the early

1980s. Reliable, efficient and sea-proven, the system requires

a low maintenance.

This solution has already been selected by eight navies.

Thanks to its modularity,the new launcher (SYLVER® Mk2) will

fire the new generation of air defence and tactical missiles.

SYLVER® A70 and the Naval Cruise MissileSYLVER® A70 is the only vertical launching system qualified for firing the Naval Cruise Missile (NCM). The NCM is the European brand new deep strike missile initially developed for the French Navy. In May 2015, the French FREMM frigate Aquitaine, became the first ship in Europe to launch the NCM missile.

TORPEDO LAUNCHING TUBES

DCNS is developing a new generation of torpedo

launcher for the MU90 for its surface ships, in single,

dual or triple tube configuration.

Already fitted on board the DCNS GOWIND® 2500,

the torpedo launching tubes can be integrated on all

types of surface ships.


DCNS proposes simple, fast and secured solutions for the weapons

and the submarine crew. All tubes have the capability to launch various

types of weapons (torpedoes, missiles, mines).

WEAPON STOWAGE

AND HANDLING EQUIPMENT

DCNS handling equipment allows the storage,

the performing of the internal movements and

securing the loading of weapons in the tubes.

The weapon handling equipment is adapted

to the requirements of submarines design.

WEAPON HANDLING AND

LAUNCHING TUBES FOR SUBMARINES

WEAPON LAUNCHING TUBES

A simple and totally secured system allowing

an easy and quick positive discharge, whatever

the weapon.

Technology performed by a quick deployment

with high pressure.

Weapons interface: torpedoes (NATO STANAG

4405), missile VSM39, Naval Cruise Missiles

and mines. The highest levels of safety are

granted by DCNS to these major mechanical

elements crossing the pressure hull and

participating in the submarine’s diving safety.

EMBARKATION EQUIPMENT

For a totally secured loading and unloading

of weapons in or out of the submarine.

40 years expertise in aviation equipment.More than 450 landing grids sold.

AVIATION EQUIPMENT

Landing grids and SAMAHE®

allow the secure landing

and handling of the aircraft

in all weather conditions.

The grid provides secured

landing and take-off, compatible

with all types of helicopters,

UAVs and VTOLs. The helicopter

handling system SAMAHE®

can accommodate and safely

transfer all naval types

of helicopters up to 16 tonnes.
