Fincantieri to Build Third NFS Submarine for the Italian Navy

Our Bureau - : Jul 22, 2023 - : 1:41 am

Fincantieri will build the third new generation submarine related to the U212NFS (Near Future Submarine) program for the Italian Navy. The vessel will be delivered in 2030.

The decision was made by Organisation Conjointe de Coopération en matière d’Armement (OCCAR), the international organization for joint armament cooperation). The vessel has a total value of more than euro 500 million, including integrated support service. Future program development also contemplates an additional euro 160 million for future additional activities or provision of specific additional capabilities required by the Navy.

The U212NFS submarines will be highly innovative, with significant design modifications that will be developed independently by Fincantieri, which holds the role of Design Authority, in accordance with the requirements of the Navy. The program responds to the need to secure adequate underwater spatial surveillance and control capacity, considering the future complex scenarios of underwater operations. The new vessel is being built at a time when the operational lifetime of the 4 “Sauro” class submarines, currently in service, is drawing near.
