ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems

Main Trends & Design Drivers

Increase in use of the maritime environment: sea trade, resources,

coastal population. symmetric threats.

Asymmetric conflicts will equally drive designs alongside the traditional 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 and
directives for the whole systems life cycle.

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 its energy more efficiently using its 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.
