Summary
Submarine Market By Type (Ballistic Missile Submarines (SSBNs), Nuclear-Powered attack submarines (SSNs), Diesel-electric attack submarines (SSKs) and others), By Propulsion (Nuclear, Non Nuclear), By Application (Military surveillance and Combat, Marine Weather Monitoring and Scientific Research, Others): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021-2031
Submarine are type of ships that can above the water as well as below the water which enhances the capabilities of the defense sector of the countries. Submarines are majorly classified into nuclear and non-nuclear submarines and are majorly used for military operations. However, these types of underwater vehicles also have commercial applications to a certain extent. Primary applications of submarine within the military domain include protecting international waters, perform underwater warfare, provide underwater command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) support.
The primary applications of submarines within the commercial and government domain include marine weather monitoring, scientific research, locating oil basin on seabeds, tourism, and recreational. Submarines have a product life cycle of 25 to 45 years, and heavily depend on maintenance repair and overhaul (MRO) and part upgradation and modification contracts to ensure the sub is in operational condition across its operational lifespan. The ballistic missiles submarines (SSBN) and nuclear power attack submarines (SSN) have nuclear reactor as its fuel core. These types of submarines have more than 30 years of operational lifespan and can stay underwater for longer period as compared to diesel electric submarines, which have operational lifespan of 25 to 30 years.
