DCNS Vipère buoy remote sensor for submarine SSK SSN SSBN






At Euronaval 2014 DCNS presented its new multifunction buoy. The Vipère buoy offers periscope performance without having to come up to periscope depth. Vipère enhances a submarine's intelligence-gathering capability while remaining deeply submerged and without compromising discretion. Data gathered by the sensor payload is relayed in real time to the host submarine. Depending on operational needs, the buoy's payload can also include communications equipment, a satellite positioning system to reset inertial platforms, electronic warfare systems such as a radar warning receiver, or an electro-optical package with a TV/IR camera to visually monitor an area of interest.
