The
Andrasta compact submarine is designed to operate in coastal
waters, a theatre of growing importance to all maritime
nations. It is also a fearsome adversary in deep water.
Andrasta combines a state-of-the-art design with stealth,
agility and speed. A direct descendent of the Scorpene,
it is remarkably effective for all types of operations in
littoral waters.

Andrasta can undertake most missions normally
assigned to full-size conventional submarines. Its small
size and stealth make it ideal for all types of littoral
missions, including special operations and intelligence
gathering. In particular, Andrasta deters anyone and everyone
tempted to explore littoral waters under its watch. It
takes extensive resources and a great deal of time to
locate an Andrasta submarine on its home turf.
Powerful sensors ensure significant operational advantages
over all types of adversaries, especially in challenging
coastal waters.
Andrasta’s state-of-the-art combat system can accommodate
new-generation heavyweight torpedoes
and anti-ship missiles, ensuring ample firepower and making
it a strong deterrent.
Systems and features for special operations include a
trunk for combat swimmers.
Andrasta is ideal for navies big and small wishing to
establish or expand a submarine force around a product
offering unparalleled capabilities for littoral operations.
Andrasta is the first design for a new segment of the
conventional submarine market.
Andrasta draws heavily on proven solutions adopted for
the Scorpene family. The layout and overall concept reflect
the boat’s mission profile while ensuring a low
purchase cost and a low cost of ownership.
