By GlobalData“We will equip all future submarines from thyssenkrupp with this highly integrated system.”
ORCCA has a modular design that allows further enhancements through the integration of new technologies in order to meet evolving mission needs.
This feature will allow customers to ensure the combat system is equipped with the latest technology to be adaptable to new requirements.
The system enables the integration of other subsystems and is compatible with all thyssenkrupp Marine Systems submarine classes.
ORCCA will also ensure interoperability in multinational missions such as Nato or EU missions.
thyssenkrupp Marine Systems said in a press release: “The communication between the systems onboard and to the national and in addition to the international domain modules is separated by a special IT infrastructure. ORCCA guarantees high speed and maximum security across the various communication channels.”
The quadrennial SubCon conference is organised by thyssenkrupp Marine Systems once every four years.
During the event, thyssenkrupp Marine Systems unveiled the 4th Generation Fuel Cell system for submarine applications.
