Ships of the Future

How will modern navies succeed in maintaining or even enhancing

their capabilities under shrinking budgets?

Ships of the Future – Our Focus:

Naval systems designed today to meet future capability requirements




Ships of the Future

Outline

•Main Trends and Design Drivers

• Challenges and Ways Out

• New technologies for Surface Ships and Submarines

• Summary and Conclusion




Main Trends & Design Drivers

• Increase in use of the maritime environment: sea trade, resources,coastal population.

• Asymmetric conflicts will equally drive designs alongside the traditionalsymmetric threats.

• Navies have to take care of new missions.

• Increased interoperability at fleet and force level.

• Personnel recruitment – qualitatively and quantitatively – training, and

retention makes creative approaches necessary.• Combat loss is regarded less and less acceptable.

• Navies have to more and more align with international regulations anddirectives for the whole systems life cycle.




Challenges & Ways Out

Affordability and the need to prepare for an uncertain future

• Multi-mission, flexible and modular naval platforms

• Reduced life cycle cost• Improved capabilities

Energy & Environment

• Increased energy efficiency (propulsion concepts, alternative fuels…)• Reduced emissions

Society

• Reduced crews

• Employment of unmanned systems




Design / Building Modularity

• common buildings blocks for vessels

• re-use of engineering

Configuration Modularity (MEKO® Modularity)

• standard interfaces for different systems

• easy change of systems during docking periods

• e. g. MEKO® ships

Mission Modularity

• exchange/enhance the capabilities

• fast change of mission of mission modules

• e. g. LCS, MEKO® CSL

Motivation for the Development of the Reformer-AIP-System

• significant increased AIP range

• lower investment costs

• easier logistic of reactants

• state of the art

• intake of seawater for weight compensating

is necessary

• cooling of waste heat• high system complexity

Conclusion

Our developments will enable future ships and submarines

• to be more cost efficient by the use of “building bricks”

• to have more endurance and to be more “green”• storing it’s energy more efficiently

• using it’s energy more efficiently

• to have mission modules tailored to individual missions

• to be versatile and fight with scalable impact• to show lower signatures

This will make ships and submarines by TKMS to be the premier tools for

maritime security – especially when the focus is on stealth, durability,mission flexibility and endurance.
