Euronaval 2014 - DCNS Exposure

22
Extensive expositions at Euronaval 2014 at Le Bourget presented the French association DCNS (this is understandable, it is actually the “host” of the event) and the Italian association Fincantieri - the last, after a quarter of a century of export failures and the actual absence of world military shipbuilding, in a few years again entered into a strip of success in export sales. Both associations represented a wide range of projects of ships of the main classes.

DCNS has once again presented a "earned" export project of a large aircraft carrier, now called DCNS Evolved Aircraft Carrier (DEAC). The ship’s standard displacement is given in 55 thousand tons, length is 272 m. The DEAC model was presented with two catapults. The Brazilian Navy is practically the only possible customer of the ship, so the model was carried not only by the Rafale M and E-2D aircraft and Neuron-style drone drums on the flight deck, but also the archaic Brazilian converted Turbo Trader.

As usual, DCNS presented the Mistral type universal amphibious assault ship (a model of the third French ship in the 9015 L series Dixmude was exhibited, designated as the Mistral 200 project), the integrated supply ship of the BRAVE 200 project, its own FREMM frigate versions, as well as a range of different versions of the Gowind corvettes . Interestingly, the patrol versions of the latter (the former Gowind Patrol) are no longer referred to as Gowind, but are advertised as simply OPV patrol ships (the Gowind brand, as can be understood, is reserved only for "combat" corvettes, which are now redesignated from Gowind 1000 to Gowing 2500. It should be noted that during the official part of the 28 exhibition in October, around all models of Gowind variants, there was a real crowd of naval delegations with sailors of all skin colors in various uniforms, and DCNS representatives worked there just like on a conveyor belt, giving explanations. Apparently, after Gowind’s breakthrough in Malaysia and Egypt, we should expect further success of this project in the global market.

One of the most interesting projects of the DCNS was the start of the project of a large non-nuclear submarine SMX Ocean, which is actually a non-nuclear version of the Barracuda project being built for the French Navy. The SMX Ocean boat is proposed for equipping a diesel-electric power plant in combination with the advertised DCNS with a kind of “highly efficient air-independent power plant using second-generation fuel cells" (it is curious that the previously developed DCNS air-free MESMA ECU with a turbine with burning methanol in a closed loop in this case not offered). It is stated that with an autonomy of three months and a power reserve of up to three weeks under the fuel cells, the boat will be able to cross the Atlantic six times underwater at a cruising speed of 14 knots. The boat is declared as a truly multi-purpose, and must be equipped with a container built in behind the fence of retractable devices to accommodate transporters of combat swimmers. Behind him, in turn, in the hull are placed the TLU for cruise missiles (in total, taking into account the ammunition of torpedo tubes, the boat must carry up to 34 units weapons).

With a surface displacement of 4750 tons and a hull length of 100 m, the SMX Ocean is the largest non-nuclear submarine offered on the world market. It can be assumed that the project was designed mainly for participation in the well-known tender of the Australian Navy, since other potential customers of a non-nuclear submarine of this size have not yet been viewed.

DCNS also presented its well-known project of a non-nuclear large submarine Scorpene, now designated as the Scorpene 2000, and still offered with the optional equipment of an air-independent MESMA EC. Now this project was supplemented by a project of an average non-nuclear submarine according to the Scorpene 1000 index (with a displacement of about 1000 t). As you can see, under the latter is a project that was previously demonstrated by DCNS under the ciphers SMX-26 and Andrasta.

At the DCNS exhibition, an advance design of the “concept” of the new XWIND 4000 trimaran architecture, full displacement near 4000 t, was also presented. As can be seen, conceptually, it is a development of the three-season advertised DCNS, but then “disappeared from the radar” Swordship architecture. Apparently, like other avant-garde projects regularly demonstrated by DCNS at Euronaval exhibitions, the XWIND 4000 project is not seriously considered for implementation, but is being put forward as a kind of evidence of the "advanced level" of developers and designers of the French naval shipbuilding association.

      Its price without an air group = frigate Admiral Gorshkov, who, according to the latest information, has punched 24 lard rubles in the price tag.

        So import frigates start from 500 million dollars and higher. And here also - the first ship of the series, it is always more expensive.
        In general, one should not compare an empty box, which is a mistral with stuffed weapons and equipment by a frigate. And by the way - the French BIUS are not delivered to our Mistrals.

    Mockups are good only countries will think to order or not with Mistral they are obkazali! And to invest money and then guess whether they will give it up or not (as the USA says) I think few people want to.

    What is the plus of the trimaran scheme? A narrow main hull and two auxiliary narrow additional ones on the sides of the main one give less resistance to the movement of the vessel in water than one wide, like a conventional vessel. This gives a gain in speed. The rest is more cons: in narrow buildings it is difficult to place the equipment in the right volumes, material consumption, great vulnerability.

    Trimaran Americans built to drive drug dealers in coastal waters.

    Correct if wrong.

      Well, the problematic Independence (cracks in the joining beams went - someone didn’t learn the sopromat), like the whole General Dynamics family — was built in order to quickly transfer containers, specialists and demonstrate a presence in the right region. Also, it is multifunctional, can act as a muzzle for a high-speed strike group, for example.

      How to drive drug lords, he is not very, and for this task in the United States there is a PSKR and powerful coast guard aviation.

        Clear. In addition to an additional increase in speed, there are some minuses. I thought so. I also remembered that for a vessel of relatively small displacement, trimaran-catamarans are more stable in theory, this is good for taking off and landing helicopters on the deck, because in the sea it is not so many days a year.

    Well, not so expensive, it cost us, to be honest.
    And, here's a "crazy idea" to order an aircraft carrier from France, since they themselves do not have the strength yet. Interestingly, they will refuse because of the sanctions. or will denyushka win? Work the project for yourself. and to be honest they know how to build in DCNS.

      To you +. For the aircraft carrier. definitely faster than 2-3 times. And they themselves will focus on the ships of the escort and aviation, including AWACS.

      Here, too, such an idea comes to mind, if only France were not such a political girl of easy virtue, it was quite possible to order from them something like "Ulyanovsk" (yes, yes, it was also assembled modularly in sections up to 1300 tons) or even its name ( only to install UKSK instead of PU "Vulcan"), only feed with atomic power plant is built here, and not profile blocks they have and the assembly is carried out at their shipyard.
      Considering that every day, to maintain the ruble exchange rate, 1,5-2 lard of greenery is swollen into the wind, you can let go of the course for a couple of days and order an aircraft carrier, and concentrate on building an escort for it yourself.

    Stunned! We are waiting for the Germans, British, Spaniards, Italians.
    If the Mistral burns out. and everything will be delivered on time, then you can order an aircraft carrier. For 4-5 years they will build it, + 1-2 years to adapt the project to grow. aircraft.

    In the last picture, the prototype of the ships of the future will soon build all of these, maybe the battleships will return with electromagnetic guns and missiles.

      electromagnetic guns - this will definitely not happen yet. A wreck that can energize them costs unrealistic money, but he is far from a battleship.

    I don’t agree to order any weapons at all, let alone an aircraft carrier, in a NATO country. Did the story with the Mistrals and Iveco teach you nothing? So this is just the beginning. And there is still maintenance, repairs ahead .... It will be more expensive than ordered. In addition, at the right time, the parts needed for the ship may not be available. And billions will rot at the wall ...
    The government says a lot about what needs to be built by ourselves, but does nothing for this.

    Of course, they can infuriate me not childishly - but I had a desire to UDC that I had already been ordered to add an order for the 3 of the BRAVE 200 project integrated supply ship - for each Fleet. Convenient - especially in distant waters.

      Do not lean on imported stickers. Back in Soviet times, we designed better ships than in the West. In terms of streamlining and fill factor, our ships made overseas. There were know-how that the West did not think of. The most interesting thing about the ship is hidden below the waterline, and there is something to hide. Many designers and developers are still alive. It is necessary to get them from the archives and engage in interesting work. Better to invest in your brains than strangers.

        The issue is not stickers, but the urgent need for such vessels.
        At the moment, when sending the Mistrals to project power into the same Mediterranean basin, who will be his ship's arsenal? Vessels warrants are not voiced here

    We would buy the 3 integrated supply ship of the BRAVE 200 project for Pacific Fleet, Northern Fleet, and Black Sea Fleet
    For money, it’s not good news that the buzzer looks like a ship is not a battle ship.
    And then our old men are terrified as looking and old tin
