dc.description.abstractOriginally stemming from the Cold War, theatres of operation have deeply changed for submarines. From deep waters to shallow waters, submarines have begun a natural evolution Submarines signatures and vulnerability had to adapt, therefore DCN has successfully developed design methods and tools to specify systems and subsystems in compliance with new objectives and strategies. These methods and tools enable not only to assess the signatures and vulnerability of nuclear and conventional submarines, but also arms DCN to take into account the theatre of operation (blue waters or shallow waters). Through this process, DCN is able to select the most suitable technologies and architectures to achieve the best performances, facing the various threats to be encountered. This paper will first present how the theatre of operation has an influence on DCN design choices with respect to these performances and then will give some examples related to acoustic discretion, target strength, vulnerability and electromagnetic signatures based on a conventional submarine design, all along through design tools.
