DCNS
presents for the first time at Euronaval 2012 its new small size submarine

SMX 26 is a small submarine designed to operate in very shallow water

It
has extreme maneuverability and a vertical dynamic stability near the
bottom or under surface waves thanks to its two shaft lines and its
four adjustable and retractable azimuth thrusters.

The
SMX-26 has the unique ability to "land" very quickly on all
types of seabeds with its extendable wheels. It can then stay lurking
in the bottom for up to 30 days.

In
such situation, air and data communication is provided through flexible
pipes deployed towards the surface.
SMX-26 may deploy the following: 6 Special Forces divers, 20 mm canon
mast, self-defense anti-aircraft missile (in container), two heavy torpedoes
and eight light torpedo with heavy warheads.
