Proven diesel-electric submarine designs
The HDW Class 209 submarine can be found in all of the world’s oceans. With more than 60 units delivered to 14 countries, no other type of submarine has been built more often during the past five decades.
The most recent version of the 209 Class ‘family’, the HDW Class 209 / 1,400mod is a compact, reliable submarine featuring most recent technology, high-combat strength, extraordinary battery payload and low signatures.
Her comprehensive mission profiles include not only maritime defence and conflict prevention, but also surveillance and intelligence gathering tasks. In addition, she is ideally suited for special operations.
Air-Independent HDW fuel cell submarines
The HDW Class 212A, 214 and Dolphin AIP submarines are technologically advanced, using the most globally renowned air-independent propulsion (AIP) system for non-nuclear submarines.
Their HDW fuel cell propulsion plants allow for extremely long dives independent of external air sources, with a distinctly lower noise level compared with other diesel-electric boats and reduce the risk of discovery.
All three boat classes have set new standards in the areas of signatures, range, automation, weapons control, external communication and crew comfort and convenience.
Eight navies have decided in favour of HDW fuel cell submarines, a proven record of changing innovative ideas into permanent technology.
Frigates and corvettes
With the proven Blohm+Voss MEKO® technology, thyssenkrupp Marine Systems has set the world’s standard in naval surface vessel technology.
Modular ship design and construction, signature reduction and enhanced survivability are at the heart of this innovative approach, which is regarded as one of the most revolutionary concepts in naval shipbuilding.
The Blohm+Voss Class 123, 124 and 125 frigates and the Blohm+Voss Class 130 corvette form the basis of thyssenkrupp Marine Systems’ long-term partnership with the German Navy. Their outstanding performance is a hallmark in naval shipbuilding.
Combining state-of-the-art technology, innovation and robust fighting capabilities, the renowned Blohm+Voss MEKO® A-200 frigates and Blohm+Voss MEKO® A100 corvettes have outstanding range, endurance and sea-keeping qualities, and are cost-efficient to operate.
As a result, navies have a flexible and versatile fighting platform for 3D warfare, and a general purpose ‘workhorse’ for diversified mission profiles.
Naval auxiliary and amphibious support vessels
Naval auxiliary and support vessels are a navy’s pillar in today’s maritime scenarios. thyssenkrupp Marine Systems offers comprehensive solutions when it comes to providing naval ships, such as the Combat Support Ship Class 702.
A ‘one-stop-shop’ for supporting naval combat ships and groups on operations and deployed to remote stations abroad, Class 702 provides full NATO-standard liquid and sold replenishment at sea (RAS), as well as multi-purpose, force-multiplying logistic support.
