La technologie des sous-marins - Tour d’horizon exhaustif du sous-marin moderne et vision de l’avenir sur cette arme redoutable. Updated reissue !

Made up of 17 educational chapters, this 144-page, abundantly illustrated support provides an exhaustive overview of the modern submarine and provides a vision of the future for this formidable weapon.
It answers questions regarding the state of the art in the design and construction of today's submarines – vessels capable of remaining underwater almost indefinitely and virtually undetectable. At the global level, very few countries, including France, have the real expertise to design and build such strategic tools in complete autonomy.
In these complex areas, naval architecture has profoundly evolved in all disciplines (materials, hydrodynamics, hydroacoustics, energy, automation, etc.) and in processes (scientific calculations, modeling, algorithms, production, robotics, etc.). The whole purpose of this work is to demonstrate the important changes and current trends, illuminated by one of the best French specialists in the field.
Its author, Alain Bovis, presents a unique panorama in French-speaking technical literature, and constitutes a remarkable reference work for all those who wish to understand the issues and the perspectives opened up by this high-tech, very confidential and mysterious field. As experts in naval strategy often say, the credibility of a navy depends largely on the potential of its submarine forces.
Also, the author does not fail to emphasize the capital importance of crews without which naturally these platforms would remain engineers' dreams.
Polytechnician and engineer graduated from ENSTA, Alain Bovis had a long career at the DGA and DCNS (now Naval Group). He has held various positions in research, engineering and industrial management. He is today president of the Naval Academy and president of the Maritime and Aeronautical Technical Association.

Updated reissue of the previous work published in 2016 – new iconography for more than half of the images.
