The executive said Naval Group is \u201cvery careful\u201d regarding transfer of technology in order to not create or intensify competition, an approach he contrasted with that of TKMS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TKMS denied careless sharing of submarine tech, in an emailed response to Defense News, saying the company \u201csets the benchmark for responsible technology transfer\u201d in the naval industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Germany company said in addition to securing its intellectual property, all sales are set up for customers to \u201ccommission and operate our products for any naval mission they need to perform and execute to defend their country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company said it couldn\u2019t comment on specific projects due to their classified nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company\u2019s naval industry mission \u201cis well defined in the respective export control regulation on which each and every form of technology transfer is based upon,\u201d the company said. \u201cWe at thyssenKrupp Marine Systems are always acting in full compliance with that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ThyssenKrupp won <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thyssenkrupp.com\/en\/newsroom\/press-releases\/thyssenkrupp-technologies-receives-major-submarine-order-from-turkey-3383.html\"><u>an order from Turkey<\/u><\/a> in 2009 for six submarines with an air-independent propulsion system based on the company\u2019s HDW fuel cell technology, to be built by G\u00f6l\u00e7\u00fck Naval Shipyards near Izmit. The first boat in the resulting Reis-class submarines entered service in August 2024. Turkey last month announced the start of construction of its first locally developed submarine, putting the country on track to become <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/europe\/2025\/01\/03\/turkish-navy-starts-construction-of-three-new-warships\/\">self-sufficient in the technology<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">France\u2019s armaments directorate DGA will intervene on export deals to keep critical skills in the country, said Alexandre Lahousse, head of the defense industry directorate within DGA, during the round table talk in Paris. The official said export clients are demanding increasingly large offsets and greater degrees of program sharing in exchange for contracts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHow do we ensure that what was a few percent before and now becomes large chunks, does not go against our defense industrial policy?\u201d Lahousse said. \u201cThat\u2019s a matter of dialogue with industry, but we also have flexible and lively discussions with international directorate colleagues to find a balance, which is that all critical skills, we will try to keep, those will be more like red lines.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lahousse added: \u201cSo we are going to restrict your freedoms a little more in this area, but it\u2019s for a good cause, it\u2019s so that we can maintain our strategic autonomy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ThyssenKrupp provided the design and major components for the Class 214 submarines for South Korea, built by Hyundai Heavy Industries and Hanwha Ocean, with the first two boats commissioned in 2008.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TKMS denied careless sharing of submarine technology with
