Iranian Marine products...........Civilian and Naval

[aryobarzan]

Marine Engines produced by Iranian industry to power the ships and submarines mentioned in this thread..from 5000 hp to smaller engines of 200 hp.

1- Iran's 5000 hp Marine diesel engine "BONYAN-4"
This is a 5000 horsepower engine powering Iranian frigates in the Mowj family.

2- Iran's 3600 hp Marine diesel engine "MAC3600"

• A new addition to an already existing 5000 hp Marine Engine lineup. Powering Iranian warships.
• 100% indigenous design and build and In serial production

3- 1800hp Engine and Steerable propeller
This combo is a system developed for the Iranian military speed boats. Compared to earlier versions in Iranian use, this increases the speed of the boats by 30%, whilst reducing their fuel consumption by 25%. The system also leads to much better maneuverability of the boats.

4- 1200 hp Marine engine "TOOS DARYA"
"Toos Darya" (below) is the first Iranian water jet engine. This version has 1200 horsepower, however, the next generation will have 3500 horsepower:

5- 850 hp engine Bonyan-1
Revealed back in 2011, not much is known about this engine

6- 200 hp marine engine
Revealed in 2017, this 200 horsepower engine is used to power various Iranian small boats to the speed of 41 knots.

I always wonderd how noisy these type of propulsion are and if they can be used in submarines

I imagine they are driven via electric motors so should be somewhat quiet..

Iranian Naval subsystems

1-ASR 3D naval radar

"ASR" is a solid-state Passive electronically scanned 3-D air and sea surface surveillance radar mounted on Iran's domestically-developed Frigates. Possibly an "L" band radar capable of detecting boats, low flying aircraft (4 SQ meter RCS), and missiles between 5 and 110 NM. The 3D radar provides elevation information with range and azimuth. It can track up to 100 targets simultaneously and includes weather monitoring. It uses a passive phased array, i.e., the transmitter is not located directly in the antenna.
This radar became operational in 2013

2- Iranian "EAGLE EYE" radar
Eagle-Eye is a non-rotating 4 Panel AESA 3D "search and fire control" Radar which is designed to detect and intercept more than 100 surface and air targets and transmit their information to missile and artillery systems installed on ships. This Radar is now being installed on the latest Mowj class Frigates buing built.

I think they are usually connected to a normal marine engine . they just replace the propeller.

A lot of the larger military subs use pump-jet systems,which are external.
I do remember a popular mechanics magazine article from the 90s which had a design for a concrete hulled submarine which used waterjets for both propulsion and thrust vectoring.

I`ve always like the idea of a concrete submarine hull as concrete is very strong in compression

very interesting..did not know if it is possible..

Two of my favourite naval weapons there.

I hope the Besat class submarines can fire the Hoot and Kamand is installed on the Loghman class ships.

Should we add the AShCM and AShBM in this thread or they need a separate thread of their own ?

 

[aryobarzan]

I would say yes..they are weapons used by naval forces so we can can cover them here..especially the jusk underwster launch capability...

Ps: looked for Sonar subsystem..other than an old photo no more info..such a vital sensor and we have no info...have you come across any info..tbere is also a side scan sonar ..

I will start the AShCM and AShBM here ... later I will join the AShCM altogether in a separate thread of Cruise Missile of Iran where AShCM, LACM, ALCM, SLCM will be posted.

I will look for sonar.
