Will AIP submarines change the undersea game?
The new submarines will have AIP (Air Independent Propulsion) technology. This means that the submarine will not need to come to the surface again and again.
- What used to happen earlier?
Diesel-electric submarines had to surface every few days, allowing the enemy to catch them.
- What will happen now?
With AIP technology, submarines can operate hidden under water for weeks. This is the reason why it is being called a gamechanger of Stealth Technology.
