Safran’s systems for Dutch submarines
Following an international bidding process, Safran’s integrated inertial navigation system ( including Sigma 40 inertial navigation units and the associated computers) was chosen to modernise the Royal Netherlands Navy’s Walrus- class submarines. Inertial systems from Safran Electronics & Defense are deployed by more than 40 navies worldwide, having provided inertial navigation systems for both surface ships and submarines for more than 70 years. Combining outstanding reliability and performance, these systems are now used on more than 600 ships in service or on order around the world.
