Submarine Air-Independent Propulsion (AIP) Systems 2017 Global Market Expected to Grow at CAGR 13.80% and Forecast to 2021
Air-independent propulsion (AIP) systems are any marine propulsion technologies that enable a non-nuclear submarine to operate without access to atmospheric oxygen, thus eliminating the need for surfacing or snorkeling. Most AIP systems generate electricity, which, in turn, drives an electric motor for propulsion or recharges the submarine's batteries. Apart from assisting in propulsion, the AIP system on board the submarine can also be used as a backup to supplement the immediate power requirements for the on-board electrical and electronic equipment...
