The ''Amur''-class submarine (named for the Amur River), is one of the latest Russian submarine designs. It is advertised as an export version of the , a modernised version of the with improved acoustic stealth, new combat systems, and an option for air-independent propulsion (AIP). The new vessels are the fourth generation of the Kilo submarine family, with two models developed. As advertised, the ''Amur''-1650 is larger and intended for longer missions. The ''Amur''-950 is armed with a VLS missile system capable of salvo-fire at multiple predesignated targets. Sonar signatures of these submarines are several times lower than the older Kilo-class submarines.〔http://www.ckb-rubin.ru/en/projects/naval_engineering/conventional_submarines/amur_950/ Rubin Design〕 Both designs are equipped with electronic warfare armament of the newer generation created on the basis of the latest science and technology. They can be outfitted with AIP fuel cells, considerably improving submerged endurance and range. AIP capability can be added in a hull extension plug either during new build construction, or as a refit to existing boats. The builder claims these vessels can operate in all areas of the world except areas with solid ice cover, in all weather conditions, and in shallow and deep water.〔(www.ckb-rubin.ru // Amur 1650 )〕〔(www.ckb-rubin.ru // Amur 950 )〕 == Construction == Rubin Central Design Bureau's chief designer for the ''Amur''-1650 and -950 is Yuri Kormilitsyn. As the further development of ideas already implemented in ''Kilo''-class submarines, ''Amur''-class boats are single-hulled, with minimal displacement, allowing for reduced noise signature and improved propulsion quality. A totally new main electric engine using permanent magnets is in development/construction and projected to give high energy conversion efficiency even at low cruise speeds. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amur-class submarine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
