S80 · Producto Tractor

Innovation, cutting-edge technology and exceptional autonomy for 21st century maritime defense, tailored to the needs of each customer.

SK-AIP attack submarines built in Cartagena for the Spanish Navy. It stands out for its advanced combat system, anaerobic propulsion that provides great stealth, and armament that includes sub-harpoon missiles, DM2A4 torpedoes and Tomahawk missiles, as well as sensors for various operations.

Anaerobic Propulsion System

The AIP system allows bioethanol to be reformed, thus avoiding the need to have hydrogen on board. The advantages are that it provides the S-80 class submarines with a great autonomy independent of the atmosphere of up to three weeks, does not require major maintenance between large hulls and can be operated over the entire range of immersion heights. In addition, the use of liquid oxygen and bioethanol as reagents makes it readily available worldwide.

ICSC

The ICSC provides the set of weapons and sensors of the Combat System with a high level of integration for the optimal management of operational information and of the command and control center, allowing to acquire, evaluate and present all the necessary information for the offensive, defensive or intelligence actions to be developed at any time, including the control of the weapons and countermeasures to be used and their launching devices.

The Spanish Navy stresses the importance of this submarine in its fleet, as it provides a significant technological advantage in an unpredictable environment.

Navantia's S80 submarine is designed to carry out a wide range of military operations. It stands out for its attack capability and advanced technology. Equipped with sub-harpoon missiles, DM2A4 torpedoes, as well as being adapted for the use of Tomahawk missiles, the S80 can perform anti-surface warfare, anti-submarine and land attack missions. In addition, its advanced sensors allow it to operate in shallow waters, perform special missions, gather intelligence, conduct surveillance and sequential mining of strategic areas. The S80 also has an anaerobic propulsion system that provides great stealth in submergence, which is crucial for covert operations.
