Store clerk of the value of 3,5 billion euros of Marina Militare Italiana to Fincantieri and Finmeccanica



In the within of the plan, OCCAR (Organisation Conjointe de Cooperation sur the Armement, the international organization of cooperation for the armaments), Marina Militare Italiana has ordered to the Temporary Grouping of Enterprise constituted between Fincantieri and Finmeccanica, through Selex ES, the construction of six pattugliatori PPA (Pattugliatori Polyvalent of Height), with ulterior four in option, and of an unit of logistic support LSS (Logistic Support Ship).

the value of contracts of the seven units is pairs to approximately 3,5 billion euros, of which the quota Fincantieri it is pairs to approximately 2,3 billion euros, while that of Finmeccanica piles to approximately 1,2 billion euros.

the contracts preview various phases of activation and today OCCAR has activated relative Phase 1 to the propedeutiche activities to the construction of the first PPA and of the unit of logistic support, for a equivalent value pairs to 372 million euros, of which the Fincantieri quota it is pairs to 220 million euros and that of Finmeccanica is pairs to 152 million euros. The activation of relative the successive phases to the other units is previewed in the next few months.

the delivery of the unit of logistic support is previewed in 2019, while for the first pattugliatore it is previewed in 2021. The deliveries of the successive pattugliatori are previewed in 2022, 2023, 2024 with two unit and in 2025.

Fincantieri and Finmeccanica have remembered that the pluriennale program for the renewal of the fleet of Marina Militare Italiana (the so-called "naval Law") make use of a total financing of 5,4 billion euros and preview, besides six pattugliatori PPA and to unit LSS, the construction of an unit from transport and disembarkation LHD (Landing Helicopter Dock) through the form of a public contract with the Italian Defense Administration, whose finalizzazione is on.

Fincantieri and Finmeccanica have remembered moreover that the Temporary Grouping of Enterprise is second constituted previewed how much by the agreement of collaboration in the field of the constructions of military ships signed from the two companies in the past October inside of which Fincantieri acts from only interface towards the customer, allowing at the same time to value the offer of the produced ones of Finmeccanica in naval within.

the Pattugliatori Polyvalent of Height will be constructed by Fincantieri near the integrated ship yard of Riva Trigoso and Muggiano. Besides the construction of these units and the unit of logistic support near own yards, Fincantieri will supply the support to the cycle life in the first ten years, articulated in logistics activity (course, spare parts, technical documentation) during the construction of units and ISS, In Service Support (manutentiva activity), developed during the exercise in post-delivery, let alone that of members and naval machinery realized from the Direction Systems and Members, which lines of aces, wheel house, stabilizzatrici propellers of maneuver, fins and other systems of handling, and the system of automation and part of special supplies for the PPA to work of controlled Seastema Spa.

Finmeccanica, through Selex ES, will have the role of the first contractor for the system of combat of all new naval units. It will supply, moreover, sensors, between which the new multifunctional radars and will have also the responsibility of all the subsystems, included those realized from the societies Oto Melara, WASS, MBDA and Electronics.

Moreover Selex ES and Fincantieri will develop with the innovative called system "Cockpit" that will allow, for the first time, to manage in integrated way the relative operations is to the conduction of the ship is to the system of combat, with a reduced number of operators thanks to the techniques of "increased truth".

"This program, besides the meaningful geopolitical implications with I throw again of the role of Italy in the Mediterranean - it has found the managing director of Fincantieri, Giuseppe Bono - has a deep industrial valence. It affords in fact to not only increase the levels of occupation and the development of the technological search for our group, but for all the companies of the induced one. It presses me to this end to remember, like demonstrated from a study of the Censis, than the navalmeccanica industry he affords to generate fallen back economic in induced until almost the four times investment original, with an impact on the occupation pairs to nine times the directed occupied ones in Fincantieri. In addition it will also be thrown again, through the development of new producing to high technology, our Direction Systems and Members".

"This important program - it has emphasized the managing director and general manager of Finmeccanica, Mauro Moretti - offers the opportunity to strongly value the technological patrimony of Finmeccanica in the naval field. Through the finalized product development to the new units of Marina Militare, Finmeccanica is proposed to ulteriorly increase own competence in high technology of the new systems of naval combat and, in particular, in strategic fields, which the sensors, multifunctional radars and multisensorial integration. The result of this development, that it will return the new ships of Marina Militare to the technological vanguard, could be valued also on the international market, where Finmeccanica boasts a long tradition and a great appreciation from the customers. The engagement in this new program - it has concluded Moretti - confirmation the will of the company to strengthen themselves and to invest ulteriorly in the field of naval high technology".
