On January 12th, the second of the four Scorpène submarines of the ProSub program was commissioned by the Brazilian Navy at the Itaguaí Naval base, in presence of José Mucio Monteiro, Brazilian minister of defence and Emmanuel Chiva, French General Delegate for Armaments. The Humaitá has been built entirely in Brazil by Itaguaí Construções Navais (ICN) thanks to a Transfer of Technology from Naval Group.

The Humaitá successfully completed its sea trials and has now been delivered and entered into service within the Brazilian Navy. The first submarine of the ProSub program, the Riachuelo, was commissioned by the Brazilian Navy in September 2022. The remaining two submarine of the series, Tonelero and Angostura will respectively be launched in 2024 and 2025.

Pierre Éric Pommellet, CEO of Naval Group said: “Today, with DGA from France, we celebrate the success of our cooperation with ICN and our long-term relation and collaboration with Brazil. The success of this program is collective and aimed at strengthening the Brazilian Navy and industry as well as reinforcing the country’s regional and global influence. We are proud to be part of the ProSub Program with all our partners. Our teams remain committed to keep on meeting the Brazilian navy expectations.”

The delivery of the Humaitá reflects the success of the technology transfer achieved by Naval Group with ICN, the group’s joint venture with Novonor, which provides the country with cuttingedge equipment manufactured in Brazil. This event also demonstrates Naval Group’s solid international presence and its ability to develop ambitious technology transfers within the framework of international partnerships.
