Saab says the lengthened section adds 33 feet and about 400 to 500 tons to the displacement of the A26.<\/span><br\/><br\/> <span lang=\"EN-AU\">According to Gunnar \u00d6hlund, head of marketing at Kockums, which is part of Saab, the lengthened module &#8220;shows the flexibility in performing different missions&#8221; of the A26, which he says can also be used for stowing and deploying unmanned underwater vehicles and even special forces or naval divers.<\/span><br\/><br\/> <span lang=\"EN-AU\">Saab says that the lengthened module can be fitted on newly built submarines or retrofitted onto existing boats as part of a Mid-Life Upgrade program. The company has had experience in the latter for Singapore\u2019s Archer class submarines, which were former Swedish V\u00e4sterg\u00f6tland class submarines with a 40-foot section added for an air-independent propulsion unit.<\/span><br\/><br\/> <span lang=\"EN-AU\">When asked by Defense News about the effect the addition of the segment will have on the A26\u2019s performance, \u00d6hlund said that Saab\u2019s previous experience with similar work on other submarines has shown that any effects on their overall performance. \u00a0<\/span><br\/><br\/> Defense News understands that the Tomahawk Land Attack Missile, or TLAM, is being proposed by Saab for a potential European customer\u2019s ongoing submarine program. The fact that the company can come up with a firm proposal like this would indicate that it already secured approval from the United States to integrate Tomahawks onto the A26.<br\/><br\/> Saab has declined to reveal who that customer is, although there aren\u2019t very many European countries that have a submarine acquisition program of record and is close enough to the U.S. to be able to acquire Tomahawks for one to make an educated guess as to the identity of the interested party.<br\/><br\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saab has unveiled a modified A26
