The second milestone of the Italian Navy’s new Near Future Submarine (NFS) project has been delivered by achieving the System Design Review (SDR), Organisation for Joint Armament Co-operation (OCCAR) revealed.
OCCAR, an international organization whose core business is the through-life management of cooperative defence equipment programs, has noted that the milestone was achieved in accordance to the strict principles of the System Engineering adopted for this design.
“The delivery of the second milestone was a very demanding activity, which required a conspicuous amount of effort from both internal and external stakeholders, including NFS Programme Division, OCCAR PMSD, Contractors and Industry. It saw Nation’s support through its specialised submariners skills,” according to the statement.
All efforts aimed at completing the required activities within the expected timescales and deadlines in order to comply with the baselined program schedule. After completing the SDR, the participants and stakeholders initiated discussions immediately after to address the Critical Design Review (CDR).
To remind, Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri and OCCAR signed the agreement for the construction of two next-generation U212NFS submarines for the Italian Navy last February. The Italian company began the production activities for the first of two next-generation U212NFS submarines last month.
