DCNS will exhibit at Langkawi International Maritime & Aerospace Exhibition 2009 which will be held in Langkawi (Malaysia) from 1st to 5th December 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 expertise in submarine design and construction, through the Scorpene medium-size submarines. Already chosen by the Malaysian Navy and other first rank navies, 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.
• The Andrasta, a compact submarine designed to operate in coastal waters, a theatre of growing importance to all maritime nations. Being 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, the Andrasta is remarkably effective in any underwater role in coastal waters that a client navy may wish to assign to it.
• DCNS is drawing on 50 years’ experience as a designer and builder of nuclear-powered submarines to develop the new-generation SSN Barracuda combining the latest advances in acoustic discretion and nuclear propulsion. Barracuda nuclear-powered attack submarines (SSNs) is a key component of the French Navy’s force projection assets. This programme calls for the delivery of six nuclear-powered attack submarines (SSNs). The construction of the first and second Barracuda submarines started at the DCNS Cherbourg shipyard respectively in December 2007 and in June 2009. The Barracuda is one of the most important programmes for the renewal of France’s naval forces.
• 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.
• 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. In October 2009, the French Minister confirmed to DCNS an order supplement for three new FREMM. This brings France’s total order to 11 vessels, scheduled for delivery from 2012 to 2022. In addition, 1 FREMM frigate is currently under construction for Morocco and Italy confirmed the order of 6 units, on a total of 10.
• MATRICS (MAritime Traffic Intelligence and Coastal Surveillance) is a taylor-made solution to monitor and protect maritime borders up to exclusive economic zone (EEZ). This offer addresses civil and military administrations and other bodies contributing to government actions at sea.

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.

DCNS has won a contract awarded by France’s Department of Maritime Affairs (DAM*) to support the country’s CROSS** maritime search & rescue centres.

The aim of the contract is to improve the search & rescue (SAR) efficiency of the CROSS centres by analysing maritime safety & security (MSS) situations in real time. The proposed Marylin system will improve coordination between French MSS entities, including DAM, the navy, police and civil security forces and customs.

“Marylin will give CROSS personnel quicker access to analyses of all available data concerning each SAR situation. It will also help to improve coordination and the exchange of information between first and later responders. The ultimate aim is to monitor all situations faced by CROSS centres and respond as quickly and as appropriately as possible,” says Philippe Guevel, head of DCNS’s bids and combat system products team.

The proposed system is part of MATRICS, the DCNS Group’s broad suite of MSS solutions.

“Comprehensive MSS demands both extended surveillance and the rapid deployment of first responders. MATRICS (Maritime TRaffic Intelligence & Control of the Sea) solutions are scalable, evolvable and tailorable to the entire spectrum of MSS needs. They increase MSS efficiency and reduce the time it takes authorities to assess and respond to each situation by providing continuous surveillance and enhanced threat assessment as well as managing the distribution of information to responders,” adds Philippe Guevel.

This contract is a major success as it positions DCNS as a premier league player in information and security solutions.

DCNS project teams draw on a vast range of in-house skills and expertise in areas including information and security systems, operational information architectures and systems, command information systems and data network interoperability.

* DAM (Direction des Affaires Maritimes), or Department of Maritime Affairs, is part of the Directorate-General for Infrastructure, Transport and the Sea, itself part of the Ministry for Ecology, Energy, Sustainable Development and Regional Planning
** CROSS (Centres Régionaux Opérationnels de Surveillance et de Sauvetage) or Regional Operational Monitoring and Rescue Centres
