In Development by Itaguaí, a Naval Construction Company (ICN), the Ships Designed for the Navy’s Submarine Development Program (PROSUB) Are in Their Final Stages

As far as is known at present, the Navy’s Submarines (PROSUB) from the Brazilian Navy (MB) are already divided into 05 main sections, namely: S1, S2A, S2B, S3, and S. Furthermore, the special highlight of today’s information will be focused solely on sections S1 and S2A.

In summary, section S1 is located at the end of the submarine. It is precisely what will determine the direction and stabilized depth limits throughout navigation on the seabed. Undoubtedly, a modern strategy of naval construction.

Thus, an important item for the energy conversion of the PROSUB submarine has also been placed at the end of the submarine – a propeller shaft for better and quieter movement.

Naval Construction – PROSUB Submarine Characteristics of Section S2A

In this section of the PROSUB submarine being developed by Itaguaí, the diesel compartments and another 04 engines that serve as a kind of charger for the batteries are located.

Finally, in 2019, there were also advances involving naval construction in PROSUB. With the completion of acceptance tests at the dock and the successful static submersion, which marked the beginning of at-sea acceptance tests for the “Riachuelo” Submarine. Undoubtedly, the first of the four vessels with diesel-electric propulsion planned in the aforementioned Program. The Brazilian naval construction has invested billions.

About the Navy’s Submarine Development Program (PROSUB)

In summary, the Submarine Development Program (PROSUB) of the Brazilian Navy is the result of a technology transfer agreement with the French company Naval Group (formerly DCNS). Signed in 2008 by Brazil and France, it will enable the production of four Scorpène-class conventional submarines. It will also assist in the manufacturing of the first Brazilian nuclear-powered submarine (SN-BR).

About the Navy’s Submarine Development Program (PROSUB)

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

The largest meat cooperative in Brazil estimates that it would need to hire an additional 11,000 workers on top of the current 51,000 just to produce slightly less than today, if Congress approves the end of the 6×1 schedule and the 40-hour workweek.

Payment methods that facilitate sales

Acelen advances with megabiorefinery in Bahia with a R$ 503 million investment released by BNDES and boosts the production of sustainable fuels with advanced technology capable of transforming vegetable oil and waste into green diesel and low-emission aviation fuel.

Nvidia wants to spend up to $150 billion annually in Taiwan, employ 4,000 people, and transform the new headquarters into a key piece of AI expansion.

James Webb finds a deformed lemon-shaped planet orbiting a dead star, with an atmosphere of helium and carbon, soot and carbon clouds that could turn into diamond in the depths; composition defies everything scientists expected from a Jupiter-sized world.
