Trois ans de retard pour le sous-marin nucléaire d'attaque Barracuda
05/11/2017

"The first new generation nuclear attack submarine Barracuda will finally be delivered to the Navy in 2020 instead of 2017.
The Navy will wait again. Instead of boarding the first of six Barracuda submarines in 2017 and again in 2019, submariners will wait until 2020 to dive deep into the Suffren. "Due to the industrial delay in the construction of the first submarine, the order schedule has been re-examined and optimized," said an official document from the Ministry of Economy. Thus, the order for the fifth submarine was shifted in 2018 with no impact on its delivery schedule, with long-cycle equipment ordered in 2017. The order for the sixth submarine is maintained in 2019, the equipment Long supply cycle was also ordered in 2017.
"The first copy will enter service late, around 2020 instead of 2017, had explained on July 26, 2017, before the Defense Committee of the National Assembly, the Chief of Staff of the Navy, Admiral Christophe Prazuck: It's not a scooter but a machine that is difficult to build and mistakes have been made that need to be identified, corrected and then made up for ".
The delay of delivery of the first submarine is due to an industrial delay, had explained the Ministry of the Economy. A delay that is not very surprising. The audits launched by Naval Group had highlighted in 2014 an increase in costs at termination, particularly on the Barracuda program, due to the delay in the deliveries of the naval group. The schedule of the first Barracuda submarine remained very tense. Hence the shift of the order of three years of Suffren. This forces the Navy to extend the use of Ruby submarines. The availability of nuclear attack submarines (SNA) is tense because it was planned to reduce this fleet by one unit by January 2017.
"We built our first crew and we use simulators to train them, but I'm looking forward to this boat," said the Navy Chief of Staff, "Delayed delivery of the first of the series, the Suffren, is oblige me to prolong the use of the Rubies to permanently have six nuclear attack submarines in the park.When I have six SNAs, one is in long-term maintenance - for a year and a half or two years - another in an intermediate interview, a third in training, a fourth in the Atlantic, a fifth in the Mediterranean and the last one in the Atlantic, in the Mediterranean, or in the Indian Ocean The format of six ANS - the British have seven - so corresponds to our operational need ".
Strike in the depth
Launched in 1998 and commissioned in 2006, the Barracuda program, a 99-meter long submarine, engages French submarine forces for the next fifty years. The entire Barracuda program represents € 7.9 billion from the design to delivery of six submarines between 2019 and 2028, the delivery date of the sixth and final Barracuda submarine, with a crew of 60 people , including 12 officers.
The Barracuda, which benefits from payment appropriations of 563.9 million euros in 2018 (570 million in 2017), is a nuclear attack submarine intended for the control of maritime areas (5; 100 tons in diving). It provides support for the Strategic Ocean Force (FOST) or Naval Air Force. He also participates in force projection and strike operations in depth (naval cruise missile) and special operations (commandos and combat swimmers). It can also act in isolation. This submarine is endowed with means of communication allowing its integration within a naval force.
Naval Group and Areva TA are grouped together in a temporary group of companies, in which the project management is entrusted to the naval group. In the field of nuclear boiler, under the responsibility of the company Areva TA, the commissioner for atomic energy and alternative energy (CEA) provides a delegated project management.
Cruise missile, the deadly weapon of the Barracuda
The Barracuda is capable of implementing the F21 torpedo, the upgraded Exocet SM39 anti-ship missile and the naval cruise missile (MdCN). The MdCN provides deep strike ability from multi-mission frigates (FREMM) and Barracuda. The range is of the 1,000 km class.
The accuracy at impact is equivalent to that of the Scalp EG, aiming at avoiding any collateral effects. The military load must promote the effects of blast and bursts and ensure the perforation of medium hardened targets. The reception of the first batch of serial missiles for the FREMMs was completed in January 2017 (initially from 2012). A second batch is planned for 2018. A total of 90 missiles will have to be delivered over the period of the 2014-2019 military programming law on a target of 250 units, and 60 missiles over 2020-2025."
