The DCNS
stand showcases:
• The Scorpene medium-size submarines, already chosen by the Chilean,
Royal Malaysian, Indian and Brazilian Navies, represent the state-of-the-art
in submarine design and construction and benefits from the latest technologies
developed for nuclear-powered classes operated by the French Navy, particularly
as regards acoustic discretion and combat system performance.
• The F21 heavyweight torpedo will replace the French Navy’s
current-generation F17 mod2 torpedo carried by its SSBN fleet and has
also been selected for the next-generation Barracuda-type SSN fleet.
The F21 is being developed in response to new and emerging operational
challenges to offer the host submarine unrivalled dominance. Its discretion,
range and fire power will give it an unrivalled tactical advantage over
all adversaries. The new torpedo is designed to knock out enemy surface
vessels and submarines.
• CANTO® represents a breakthrough in the field of torpedo
defence. It is designed to protect any platform, submarine or surface,
against the most advanced torpedoes and the previous generation of torpedoes
as well. CANTO® is ordered by the French Navy to protect its SSN
and SSBN and by the Brazilian Navy to protect the new SSK fleet. Unlike
the classical decoys aiming at seducing the attacking torpedo by recognizing
its acoustic signal and reproducing one false target, CANTO® is
based on dilution/confusion principle. CANTO® countermeasure acts
completely independently of the torpedo threats thus offering a protection
against numerous simultaneous torpedo attacks even in case of unknown
torpedo threats.
