Submarines in the Oceanic Extended Range (ER) segment are the largest in the series, designed for much longer missions, greater crew size and increased weapon payload capability. Its modular design and production method allows the submarine to accommodate a larger and more versatile suite of weapons, various crew sizes, highly efficient AIP systems and a Multi Mission Portal tm, significantly increasing the operational scope. The leading product in the Oceanic segment is the Blekinge-class submarine, currently in production for the Royal Swedish Navy. Throughout our history we have continuously developed our submarines. Pelagic submarines have a lower acquisition price and operating cost and can also be offered with the Stirling AIP technology for superior submerged endurance. Highly manoeuvrable with high speed and a large weapon load, these submarines represent a dangerous threat to any opponent. Saab’s Pelagic segment refers to our smaller submarines, adapted for long-range missions in narrow or littoral environments. Specifications of each submarine segment can be tailored to customer requirements and operational needs. Saab’s submarine range includes larger and smaller submarines designed for an adapted variety of missions and requirements. Saab offers conventional submarines that address three market segments: Pelagic, Oceanic and Oceanic Extended Range.
