Navantia has been involved in the design, production and life cycle of submarines for more than a century, in close collaboration with the Spanish Navy. During this period it has worked with different models, its own or in collaboration with various national and international partners, developing construction, maintenance or modernization programs.

Navantia's evolution in submarines (from the B-class to the current S-80, including the Scorpene submarine for export) and its international experience in defense export projects has allowed it to create a knowledge and capabilities base in Navantia that allows it to offer international customers a wide range of services.

Navantia leads innovation in submarines, evaluating new technologies to offer advanced capabilities and meet the needs of current and future customers.

Navantia is working on a broad portfolio of innovation projects in the field of submarines aimed at evaluating new technologies available on the market, as well as the interests of current and potential customers. The results of these projects serve both to offer alternative or complementary capabilities to the current S-80 and to incorporate them in new submarine concepts.

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 large atmosphere-independent autonomy of up to three weeks, does not require major maintenance between large hulls and can be operated over the entire range of submerged depths. 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.

Navantia redefines submarine excellence with the S-80, designed for hostile environments.

They represent the cutting edge of undersea technology. Designed to operate in hostile environments, they offer combat superiority, advanced cybersecurity and energy efficiency.

They incorporate the Atmosphere Independent Propulsion System (AIP), which allows recharging batteries during immersion, extending their operating time without the need for snorkeling maneuvers. In addition, Navantia has implemented the digital twin concept, allowing a virtual representation of the vessel to improve life cycle management and operational efficiency. These submarines are designed to be interoperable, resilient and easy to operate.

Weapons

The S-80 is equipped with sub-harpoon missiles, DM2A4 torpedoes and is ready to operate Tomahawk missiles, as well as sensors for shallow water operations, special missions, intelligence, surveillance and deterrence.

Command and Control

It is the brain of the boat and from its consoles any part of the submarine and its systems can be controlled: The integrated communications control system, the integrated platform control system and the integrated core of the integrated combat system.

Engine Propulsion

The S-80 is equipped with a 3500 kW main electric motor composed of two independent semi-engines (the rest of the submarine's propulsion system consists of three diesel engine generators, two battery compartments and the AIP).
