WYVERN®

With many nations facing budget constraints, WYVERN offers a capable, credible and cost-effective SSK solution covering the full spectrum of demanding roles from ASW, ASuW, ISR and Special Forces to training and emergent tasking.

SUBMARINES

Key Features• Improved resilience to

weapon effects enabled by a double hull cross section

• Maximised payload and weapon fit for high mission effectiveness

• Extended submerged endurance and reduced susceptibility

• Adaptable AIP system options depending on customer technology preferences

• Sea-going capability with maximised radius of operation and mission endurance

• Maximum manoeuvrability and slow speed control to assist shallow water operations

BMT Defence Services has developed WYVERN SSK to meet the requirements of customers looking to establish a new submarine capability or to upgrade existing platforms to a more competent design based on 21st century technology.

The philosophy behind WYVERN places considerable emphasis on taking a simplistic approach to design. WYVERN’s design is based on a generic requirement set, underpinned by open source design standards, equipment suppliers’ data and an assumed end user concept of operations. The use of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS), military off-the-shelf (MOTS) equipment and allowing flexible equipment specification affords greater design tailoring to meet the varied requirements of prospective end users.

Building on BMT’s previous concept designs, experience and research into submarine availability and limiting energy consumption, emphasis has been placed on balancing requirements whilst maintaining design flexibility to suit sovereign nation needs.

Key Benefits• Through-life cost minimisation

• Minimum unit production costs and increased operability

• High range and endurance

• Special Forces Lock Out through the Forward Access Route

• MOTs combat fit
