The resulting underwater endurance of
the 1,500-ton boats is reported to be up to 14 days at five knots,
but significant burst speeds are possible when the batteries are
topped up.
Naval defense is not just rely on sub and surface ship.
u need help from the followings:
1.
The F50 maritime patrol aircraftcan it carry ASW
mission?
2.
eyes in the space 24/7to search for sub .
CRISP operates a satellite ground station to acquire data from
remote sensing satellites, and processes the archived data to
standard or value-added products for distribution and research. The
list of satellites CRISP receive include:
* SPOT 1,2,4 (since September 1995)
* ERS 1,2 (since March 1996)
* RADARSAT 1 (May 1997 - May 2000)
* SeaWiFS, NOAA and FengYun 1C (since September 1999)
* TERRA (MODIS) (since March 2001)
* IKONOS (since August 2001)
* EROS-A1 (since October 2001)
* AQUA (MODIS) (since July 2002)
* SPOT 5 (since October 2002)
3.can we put sensors to monitor sub and surface ships
movements?
4.ask merchants ships to help during emergency?

of SG AIP sub
The Stirling-cycle engine forms the basis of the first AIP
system to enter naval service in recent times. The Swedish
builders, Kockums Naval Systems, tested a prototype plant at sea in
1989, and today, three Swedish Gotland-class boats are each fitted
with two adjunct, 75 kilowatt Stirling-cycle propulsion units that
burn liquid oxygen and diesel fuel to generate electricity for
either propulsion or charging batteries within a conventional
diesel-electric plant.
The resulting underwater endurance of the
1,500-ton boats is reported to be up to 14 days at five knots, but
significant burst speeds are possible when the batteries are topped
up.
HMS Gotland is a successful conventional submarine with
our Stirling Air Independent Propulsion (AIP) system. It extends
submerged from a few days to several weeks.
