Aplicabilidade do legado das atividades do PROSUB na modernização dos submarinos convencionais e com propulsão nuclear

Abstract

The submarine is a machine with integrated systems and equipment susceptible to the development of new technologies. Its basic features are impacted by new technologies. Follow the development in the submarine from the conception to the end of its useful l ife is important to operate them in the best condition. The delay to anticipate the impact brings as a consequence the installation of a process of obsolescence causing the submarine to operate with its degraded basic characteristics. The Brazil’ Navy has systemic modernization process that begins to be seen that the system or equipment fails to meet its high level of system requirements. The competitive advantage resulting from an established infrastructure for the Submarine Development Program in design, build and perform maintenance on submarines allows during periods of maintenance are identified the needs to implement upgrades in system and equipment of conventional submarines built in the program anticipating the start a process of modernization preven ting submarines operating with degraded their basic characteristics and consequent reduction in downtime during its lifetime. The modernizations will be incorporated into the first submarine with nuclear propulsion project bringing the same benefits much e arlier.
