(NSI News Source Info) Rio de Janeiro Brazil - April 17, 2009: DCNS will exhibit at LAAD 2009 which will be held in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) from 14 to 17 April 2009. 
DCNS is a major player on the European and world markets for value-added naval defence systems. As a naval prime contractor, shipbuilder and systems integrator, DCNS combines resources and expertise spanning the naval defence value chain and entire system lifecycles. DCNS delivers innovative solutions from integrated warships to strategic systems, equipment and services.
The DCNS stand showcases:
• DCNS will showcase its expertise in submarine design and construction, through the Scorpene medium-size submarines. At the end of January, DCNS delivered the first of two Scorpene submarines ordered by Malaysia in June 2002: Tunku Abdul Rahman, which is scheduled to arrive in Malaysia early in the second half of 2009. The second of the series, Tun Razak, is scheduled for delivery in late 2009. Already chosen by the Chilean Navy and the Indian Navy, Scorpene submarines represents the state of the art in submarine design and construction and benefits from the latest technologies developed for nuclear-powered classes operated by the French Navy, particularly as regards acoustic discretion and combat system performance. Excellent endurance makes the Scorpene one of the few medium-displacement designs suitable for extended ocean patrol duties. The modular design can also be readily tailored to each customer's specific mission profiles and other requirements. In December 2008, DCNS has been awarded a major contract by the Brazilian Navy (four conventional-propulsion submarines and design assistance - under the Brazilian Navy's design authority - for the non-nuclear part of the Navy's first nuclear submarine).
• To emphasize its experience in strategic systems and equipment DCNS is also displaying the Mesma AIP system to extend submarine submerged endurance three to four fold and significantly improve operational performance.
• Barracuda nuclear-powered attack submarines (SSNs) will form a key component of the French Navy's force projection assets..The Barracuda will feature extremely low observables and vulnerability to all types of surface and underwater threats.The Barracuda programme calls for the delivery of six nuclear-powered attack submarines (SSNs). DCNS cut the first plate for the first-of-class Le Suffren at its Cherbourg shipyard on 19 December 2007. SSN Le Suffren is scheduled to enter service in 2017. The Barracuda is one of the most important programmes for the renewal of France's naval forces.
• The Andrasta, a compact submarine designed to operate in coastal waters, a theatre of growing importance to all maritime nations. It is also a fearsome adversary in deep water. Andrasta combines a state-of-the-art design with stealth, agility and power. A direct descendant of the Scorpene, it is remarkably effective in any underwater role in coastal waters that a client navy may wish to assign to it.
• CV São Paulo, formerly CV Foch, pride of the French Navy, was acquired by the Brazilian Navy in 2000. DCNS makes expertise available to the Brazilian Navy on an ‘as needed' basis. Most requests concern the ship's boilers, catapults, aviation facilities and propulsion system. To ensure that the São Paulo is constantly in top condition, DCNS supports the Brazilian Navy's Rio de Janeiro shipyard through telephone conference calls, by seconding experts and by supplying spare parts.
• The projection and command ship or Mistral LHD is a multipurpose surface vessel designed to cover a broad spectrum of missions, including amphibious operations, crisis management, airborne operations, operational command, operational transport, healthcare support, humanitarian operations and freight transport. The operational capability and interoperability of the Mistral LHD were demonstrated in Operation Baliste off Lebanon and on sea trials with the US Navy (involving the LCAC and Super Stallion).
• The FREMM multi-mission frigates programme combines the latest technologies developed by the DCNS group. These technological and engineering advances will make the FREMM frigates world leaders in their class. France and Italy have already ordered a first batch of and Morocco chose this frigate to equip its Royal Navy.
• The FM 400 is a new compact and flexible frigate derived from the FREMM with a full range of specialized versions. In designing the FM 400, DCNS drew on a long line of stealth vessels that began with the famous La Fayette and now includes the FREMM frigates. Like its predecessors, the FM 400 offers multi-role capabilities tailored to the needs of a wide range of navies.
• The innovative Gowind®, a new family of ocean-capable vessels designed by DCNS for all littoral and sea operations, Gowind® vessels are exceptional tools able to fulfil missions ranging from anti-piracy up to sea control and denial.
• SUBTICS® combines operational efficiency, high-performance sensors and long-range weapons. The system can be readily added to any new-build programme or integrated as part of a refit. It has been selected by several navies for SCORPENE and AGOSTA 90B submarines, as well as for modernisation programmes for submarines already in service.
• DCNS displays the F21 next-generation heavyweight torpedo developed with Italian partner Wass. The F21 has been selected by a number of navies. This product is an excellent example of DCNS's expertise in advanced system integration.
• DCNS is also displaying the Contralto countermeasure systems, specifically Contralto-V® for surface vessels and Contralto-S® for submarines. This product is an excellent example of DCNS's expertise in advanced system integration.
• Automatic UAV deck landing and take-off is a major challenge, especially if poor sea states and weather are taken into account. DCNS has developed the Automatic Deck landing Device to allow rotary-wing UAVs to take off and land on naval flight decks. The ADD system successfully completed its first sea trials off Toulon in October 2008. The system uses an infrared trajectograph to track the UAV while receiving real-time platform motion data. Meanwhile, a computer processes the motion data to generate UAV flight commands to adjust its trajectory. ADD can be used up to sea state 5, when it takes 2 minutes to land a UAV.
DCNS also offers a full range of naval services, including through-life support (TLS), modernisations and training. DCNS is actively integrating e-maintenance into its guaranteed-availability TLS services. Internet technologies enable customer and service provider to share system status data and operating parameters in near-realtime. DCNS is also assessing the potential of state-of-the-art diagnostic and prognostic tools to further improve warship availability.
About DCNSThe DCNS group is one of Europe's leading players on the world market for naval defence systems. To meet customer demands for more comprehensive and integrated systems, DCNS acts as prime contractor for naval shipbuilding, integration and support by combining its own development, marketing and production capabilities with those of selected partners. To manage the complexity of such projects, DCNS draws on in-house expertise in naval architecture, systems engineering, ship assembly and integration and equipment design and production as well as through-life support. The DCNS group employs some 13,000 people and generates annual revenues of around €2.8 billion
