The Navigation Tests Conducted by the Submarine Humaitá in Southern Rio de Janeiro Brought Great Advances for the Verification of the Systems. The Testing Phase of the Propulsion at Sea Precedes the Dynamic Immersion and Verifies Navigation Safety.

The development of the Humaitá submarine project, which will be delivered to the Brazilian Navy in the future, is looking quite positive for this Friday, (12/23). This is because last week the navigation tests and propulsion verification of the vessel took place on the southern coast of Rio de Janeiro. This is a way to verify the safety and quality of the systems in independent navigation, also involving training conducted with the submarine crew.

Evaluation of Surface Navigation of the Second Prosub Unit Took Place in Southern Rio de Janeiro, with Major Tests Conducted on the Humaitá

Between December 12 and 16, the evaluation of surface navigation of the second unit of the Submarine Development Program (Prosub) took place on the southern coast of Rio de Janeiro.

The navigation tests and propulsion verification phase at sea of the Humaitá submarine precedes the dynamic immersion phase, so the vessel can then be delivered to the Brazilian Navy.

The last months of 2022 were quite important for the development of the Humaitá project, with several operational tests successfully conducted.

During the month of August, the submarine conducted operational floating, which defines the beginning of the last phase of the construction project, certifying that the submarine’s safety and operation systems are qualified to operate at sea.

In November, the Humaitá began and completed its static immersion test phase, with positive results for operations.

Now, after the propulsion tests at sea during navigation conducted in Rio de Janeiro last week, the Brazilian Navy confirmed that only two stages of the testing process are remaining.

These are the dynamic immersion test and deep immersion test, which verify the viability of navigation under these conditions.

The Humaitá is the fourth submarine of the diesel-electric propulsion vessel project of Prosub. In addition to it, the Tonelero (S-42) and the Angostura (S-43) will be delivered in the second half of 2023.

The last of the four submarines of the project was delivered to the Brazilian Navy in September of this year, the Riachuelo (S-40).

Thus, the agency continues to invest and seek improvements for the Brazilian naval sector in 2023.
