Germany will buy two boats.<br\/><br\/>In the fierce competition between the two remaining bidders, Germany&#8217;s ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems beat out France&#8217;s DCNS. Last year, the latter outclassed its German rival and secured a major submarine contract in Australia.<br\/><br\/> <span title=\"Die Boote sollen als Nachfolger der gegenw\u00e4rtig verwendeten Boote der Ula-Klasse in der kommenden Dekade zulaufen.\"><span lang=\"DE\">The German shipbuilding company is now able to secure the multibillion-euro order, of which <\/span><span title=\"Der franz\u00f6sischen Konzern DCNS, der neben tkMS noch als einziges Unternehmen im Rennen war, geht diesmal leer aus, nachdem DCNS bei einem Gro\u00dfauftrag in Australien seinen deutschen Konkurrenten ausgestochen hatte.\r\">exact figures will not be disclosed before the project has been presented to Norwegian lawmakers this spring, a spokeswoman with the ministry said.<br\/><\/span><\/span><br\/><span title=\"Die Boote sollen als Nachfolger der gegenw\u00e4rtig verwendeten Boote der Ula-Klasse in der kommenden Dekade zulaufen.\"><span lang=\"DE\">According to the Norwegian MoD, the decision involves a broad and long-term Navy-to-Navy cooperation encompassing submarines and other naval capabilities.<span class=\"rte rte-comment\"> The German MoD even could imagine a joint submarine command.<\/span>\u200b\u00a0<\/span><\/span>The cooperation will include training, exercises, spare parts, maintenance and lifetime management of the new submarines.

Basing the submarines on an existing design will allow Norway to avoid an extensive development project as well as the risks involved in such an undertaking.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span lang=\"DE\">The project also includes cooperation between the Norwegian and German industry. Most likely the German Navy will buy Kongsberg&#8217;s Naval Strike Missile for its future MKS 180 frigates, while the Norwegian company will provide the battle management system for the new submarines.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span lang=\"DE\">Norway will now enter into final negotiations with German authorities. When a government-to-government agreement is in place, a German-Norwegian negotiation with TKMS will commence. <br\/><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span lang=\"DE\">The plan is to sign a common contract for the submarines in 2019 and start delivery from the mid-2020s to 2030. This timeline should ensure a continuous Norwegian submarine capability as the six Ula-class submarines reach the end of their life.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span title=\"Die Boote sollen als Nachfolger der gegenw\u00e4rtig verwendeten Boote der Ula-Klasse in der kommenden Dekade zulaufen.\"><span title=\"Das norwegische Verteidigungsministerium k\u00fcndigte dar\u00fcber hinaus an, dass die Zusammenarbeit bei Unterseebooten mit anderen Nationen wie den Niederlanden und Polen fortgef\u00fchrt werde, um weitere Synergie- und Skaleneffekte zu realisieren.\">The MoD also wants <\/span>to continue cooperation talks with nations like the Netherlands and Poland in order to achieve even greater synergies and economies of scale. Sources familiar with the subject stated that the Royal Netherlands Navy recently has shown interest in the project as it also plans to replace its aging
