TAIPIEI \u2014 Submarine investment remains popular globally, with the Asia-Pacific region taking the lion’s share of builds and programs, according to Tony Beitinger, vice president of market intelligence for AMI International Naval Analysts & Advisors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, <\/span>Worldwide naval investments in submarines continue to outpace all other naval procurements, he said, with 34 countries procuring or planning to acquire submarines over the next 20 years.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are 12 twelve <\/span>countries in the Asia Pacific region investing in submarines: Australia, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Myanmar, Pakistan, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Vietnam. These 12 twelve <\/span>have a submarine force and\/<\/span>or are actively<\/span> building or planning to build submarines, Beitinger said. <\/span>The Philippines, Thailand and Bangladesh have publicly voiced the desire to acquire new or used submarines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Submarines are a leading indicator of the larger pattern of naval spending in the Asia-Pacific region, said Bob Nugent, an independent naval analyst. Spending on submarines in the region, as with naval spending overall,in total,<\/span> is going up as a result of stronger economies economic performance provided by improved GDP <\/span>for some countries and an increased sense of sea-based vulnerabilities and threats in the region for others. among others whose GDPs and defense budgets are flat.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Submarines are the most expensive [ton for ton] naval platforms to acquire and arguably the most expensive to sustain in readiness from a broad perspective of resources needed to recruit, train, operate, maintain and modernize a capable submarine force,” Nugent said. This which <\/span>raises the question of the fiscal constraints to growing and modernizing regional submarine fleets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This issue of affordability and tradeoffs of a submarine force is especially public in Australia right now, but likely also being heard in defense circles in South Korea, Japan and elsewhere in the region.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite high costs, technological improvements have made submarines more lethal and quieter, especially with air independent propulsion, and this has driven wealthy and poor nations alike to procure them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“These types of submarines are becoming more capable and are beginning to carry more lethal weapons like submerged-launched anti-ship and land attack missiles, as well as reconnaissance systems such as unmanned underwater vehicles used to collect intelligence or deploy special operations forces,” Beitinger said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

China’s growing military force has pushed Taiwan’s Navy into a corner. The service navy<\/span> is currently <\/span>in the midst of a major new submarine build program expected to produce result in<\/span> four to eight submarines within the next 20twenty<\/span> years. Taiwan naval officials said have indicated <\/span>industrial interest has been expressed in Europe and the United States. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Submarines are a\/<\/span>the key ‘<\/span>offset strategy‘<\/span> platform for a strategic planner looking to counter the greater spending and greater numbers of naval platforms and systems fielded by future rivals,” Nugent said. With China’s current <\/span>naval spending outpacing that of Japan, Australia, South Korea and others in southeast South East <\/span>Asia combined, put together, <\/span>submarines are likely to remain priorities for continued investment in the region, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nugent said he saw an <\/span>accelerating investment in some submarine-related force multiplier technologies, including to yield even more operational impact in the undersea domain.<\/span> These include <\/span>unmanned vehicles, advanced energy and propulsion systems that reduce fuel use expenditure <\/span>and improve range, stealth and weapons performance, and advanced undersea sensors in both space and maritime domains <\/span>for intelligence and surveillance. and radar.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
