BAE SYSTEMS SUBMARINE SOLUTIONS MARITIME UNDERWATER FUTURE CAPABILITY

The BAE Systems Submarine Solutions Maritime Underwater Future Capability (MUFC) is the replacement for the Astute-class and Vanguard-class nuclear submarines for the Royal Navy currently under study. Like the DCNS Swordship, BAE Systems predicts a combination Combat Information Center (CIC) and bridge with wall-sized LCD screens.

Directional Waterjet Propulsion Pods
Ultra-Quiet directable podded water jet propulsion units rotate at the root to provide vectored directional thrust and unparalled high/low speed manoeuvrability in conjunction with single lower rudder for stability and steering.



Sensor Arrays
Ultra-Sophisticated all-round sonar coverage is achieved through platypus bow sonar and after fin arrays



Does anyone have additional information about this submarine concept? Dimensions? Crew? etc.

It appears BAE has designed a nuclear powered duck billed platypus.

Ive seen some weird stuff in my day, but that... that just takes the cake.

Clearly this is a symptom of excessive seaQuest DSV.
