U212 NFS’ Lithium Battery System Completes System Design Review

The U212 NFS new Battery System (Lithium based) successfully completed its System Design Review (SDR), the Organisation for Joint Armament Co-operation (OCCAR) said on March 16. [...] SDR core objectives were safety and the increase of the operating capacity of the Lithium Battery System. [...]

The U212 NFS design is driven by the requirements to improve endurance, operational flexibility, and capabilities. Thanks to the new combat system, sensors, and planned weapon systems, namely the long-range deep strike cruise missiles, the U212NFS will play a key role from beneath the surface, in the multi-domain and joint-multinational operational scenarios.

Based on an evolved U212A design by Fincantieri, the U212 NFS is characterized by a 1.2 meters longer pressure hull and a hydrodynamically enhanced and further quieter platform with an overall length of approximately 59 meters and a surface displacement of approximately 1,600 tons.
