Kockums
has been at the leading edge of technology for a long time. In marine
engineering, this has been demonstrated by a long succession of
innovations, particularly in the latest Gotland and Collins class
submarines. Developments are foregoing ahead. The Viking submarine is
the next generation.
Improved stealth technology
The
Viking submarine is characterised by substantial investments made in
stealth technology and further development of Kockums advanced modular
construction technique. The
Combat Management System integrated in the newly developed weapon
system will co-ordinate all sensor functions, weapon functions, the
navigation system and the communication system.
Air independent propulsion
Improved
AIP performance is one of the most significant developments that
enables the submarine to complete her mission submerged for extreme
periods of time, making her invaluable both in peacetime and in all
possible conflict situations.
