Air-independent propulsion (AIP), or air-independent power, is any marine propulsion technology that allows a non-nuclear submarine to operate without access to atmospheric oxygen (by surfacing or using a snorkel).
Developments in conventional submarine propulsion, namely, air-independent propulsion (AIP) systems and lithium-ion batteries, could be a game changer, and navies that operate solely nuclear-powered submarines might reconsider including advanced conventional submarines in their fleets.
The Italian submarine ITS Salvatore Todaro, an air-independent propulsion (AIP)–capable diesel boat, pulls into Naval Submarine Base Groton, Connecticut. AIP technology has advanced to a point that it gives modern blue-water navies a real alternative to nuclear-powered submarines.
29 lis 2004 · As interest mounts in "Air-Independent Propulsion" (AIP) for enhancing the performance of small, defensive submarines, a serious new underwater threat is developing in littoral waters. Increasingly, smaller nations unwilling or unable to accept the high cost of nuclear power to
1 gru 2023 · The KSS-III Batch II submarines are equipped with an AIP propulsion plant based on MTU12V4000U83 diesel engines, a PEM FC AIP (already installed on Batch I boats), and for the first time a LIB system.
It features diesel propulsion and an additional air-independent propulsion (AIP) system using Siemens proton-exchange membrane (PEM) compressed hydrogen fuel cells. The submarines can operate at high speed on diesel power or switch to the AIP system for silent slow cruising, staying submerged for up to three weeks with little exhaust heat.
23 sie 2011 · The Italian submarine Scirè – a type 212 – which features an air-independent propulsion (AIP) system based on the proton exchange membrane (PEM) hydrogen fuel cell from Siemens.
