It has been built in Germany in two batches of four and two boats, as well as under license in Italy (four units). Our pioneer of true successful European defense co-operation has numerous advantages on both sides and is open to welcome more members in its midst.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn line with German basic design concepts, the HDW Class 212A air-independent submarine is compact and features high payloads for sensors, communication equipment, weapon control systems and weapons. Great attention has been paid to efficiency and energy management on board. The combination of these factors together with the world-wide unique nonmagnetic construction and acoustically optimized equipment results in submarines that are nearly impossible to detect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HDW Fuel Cell System coupled to a PERMASYN® motor enables long submerged operational periods and low indiscretion rates. Furthermore, the double-deck HDW Class 212A design excels with high availability quotas and the 2-crew manning concept.Providing superb capabilities to conduct independent long-term missions in deep seas as well as in extremely shallow waters, these boats are ideally suited for undetected reconnaissance and surveillance, also in areas where it is not possible or not desirable to employ other naval forces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBatch 1 and 2 of the HDW Class 212A Submarines incorporate:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntegrated Weapon Command and Control Systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlank and towed array sonars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLow crew complements thanks to high degrees of automation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Undisturbed” Combat Information Center (CIC).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeapon tubes with water pressure launching systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2nd batch additionally features:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntegration of communication system suitable for use in Network Centric Warfare scenarios.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation of integrated German Sonar and Command and Weapon Control Systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuperficial lateral antennas replacing flank array sonar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSubstitution of one periscope by an optronic mast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntegration of a diver lock-out system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"SMC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57547769545084,"sku":"3D Printed 212 Submarine","price":225.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0432\/8584\/0033\/files\/Screenshot2026-10-03090040.png?v=1791014530","url":"https:\/\/sussex-model-centre.co.uk\/products\/scale-3d-printed-large-scale-german-hdw-class-212-submarine-sectional-model","provider":"Sussex Model Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
