A torpedo powered by a lithium-ion battery
breaks speed records in complete safety!
01.23.2014

Early in 2013, the rst sea rings of a torpedo tted with a Li-ion battery were completed
successfully: propelled completely safely at more than 50 knots, the torpedo also benets from an
endurance that can exceed one hour.
Nuclear deterrent, episode
It took ten years of studies, research and testing for the DCNS Saint-Tropez personnel specialised in 3: the dynamism of the
undersea weapons, in collaboration with electrochemists from Saft*, to give practical form to this new activities
product. 02.03.2017

Li-ion technology is capable of supplying the high electrical power level needed to propel a torpedo, and The share of DCNSs activities
linked to the oceanic nuclear
allows battery recharging. Thanks to this technology, DCNS now has a product meeting the operational
deterrence component, the
performance criteria required by navies, but also the robustness and safety criteria indispensable for
nuclear-powered ballistic-missile
embarkation on onboard submarines. This world premiere illustrates the determination of DCNS to

50 years in exercise torpedoes. Proven but obsolescent, this old technology no longer provides
performance matching that of new-generation combat torpedoes, making training too unrealistic.
