Naval Group Presents a New-Gen of Lithium-ion Batteries for Submarines

: Oct 23, 2018 - : 12:30 pm

Naval Group has developed a high performance and highly secure Li-ion batteries system to provide its conventional submarines with outstanding operational capabilities, as well as an immersion period and reloading time largely optimised.

 

The navies that will operate this new technology will boast a technological superiority on theatres of operations. This success is the result of a close cooperation between Naval Group, Saft, CEA Tech and EDF R&D.

 

LIBRT increases significantly the submarines’ submerged endurance and improves its stealth, while guaranteeing better security conditions. This technology offers twice more available energy while reducing significantly the reloading time.

 

In hostile environments, the submarine will therefore take advantage from an increased submerged operating range as well as from the capability to evade all kinds of naval threats. Fast loading battery limits the time spent in periscopic immersion, thus enhancing the indetectability of the submarine.

 

These are operational advantages that provide the submarines with technological superiority compared to current generations.

 

With experiences of Saft, CEA Tech, EDF R&D and Naval Group, the Li-ion batteries system LIBRT epitomizes the French innovating and creativity spirit.

 

Alain Guillou, Senior Executive Vice-President said, “the successful development of the LIBRT Li-ion batteries systems is a huge technological stride for the new generation of submarines developed by Naval Group. It provides utmost security guarantees as well as operational and technological superiority to all our clients worldwide.”
