enhanced real time periscope video processing), the CMS will be installed in a state-of-the-art more spacious combat information centre (CIC) designed by Fincantieri in synergy with major suppliers and featuring nine dual-screen and fully interchangeable multi-function consoles (for CMS, sonar and EW) plus the commander station with augmented reality and sensor/data fusion, sided by few IPCS and platform control consoles. bistatic sonar detection), remote computing, extensive acoustic processing know-how and submarine mission specific application (i.e.

The new IPCS is provided by Fincantieri Seastema, Avio Aero providing steering and diving control system, the combat management system (CMS) being provided by Leonardo, which derives from the fourth generation of the so-called SADOC CMS for the new surface combatant platforms under delivery to the Italian Navy. All systems according to OCCAR will be compliant with the most challenging cyber security requirements, making the U212 NFS the second cyber secure by design approach platform to be provided by Fincantieri to the Italian Navy after the Thaon di Revel-class PPA (Pattugliatori Polivalenti d’Altura) platforms.

Fincantieri is also working with other industries to provide a new AIP system to be introduced from the third boat.Ĭapable to operate in seawaters with tropical temperatures, the U212 NFS will feature newly designed integrated platform control system (IPCS) and new generation combat system with command management system and weapon control and sensors suite, that allow reducing the crew to only about 29 complements. Fincantieri assigned the related development, prototyping and certification programme to the FIB Italian company together with Power for Future joint ventures between Fincantieri SI and Faist Electronics, TUV Rheinland and Cetena companies. The first two new boats maintains the same diesel/electric and AIP propulsion system of the U212A design but introduce a new energy storage and management system based on Lithium-iron-phosphate batteries, a game changer technology in underwater domain, according to OCCAR. Moreover, human factor studies are on-going to provide more comfortable accommodations for new generation crew members.

The new platform features a new design sail capable to accommodate up to seven electric masts (with space for an additional optional mast), allowing for future development in the direction of a full electric submarine. Based on an evolved U212A design by Fincantieri with unprecedented level of national industry content, the U212 NFS is characterized by a 1.2 meters longer pressure hull and a hydrodynamically enhanced and further quieter platform with an overall length of approximately 59 meters and a surface displacement of approximately 1,600 tons. Thanks to the new combat system, sensors and planned weapon systems, namely the long-range deep strike cruise missiles, the U212NFS will play a key role from beneath the surface, in the multi-domain and joint-multinational operational scenarios. It's not clear how the leg 'brace' is attaced at the leg end but I believe that's the adjustment fixture point.Capitalizing on the U212A operational experience and industrial cooperation with TKMS, the NFS design is driven by the requirements to improve endurance, operational flexibility and capabilities. And the leg stud allows even closer use of the head of could allow use of the head on the leg with the leg sections collapsed, which might allow it to be closer to the ground than flattening the leg angles. The slotted end allowed limited movement out to a typical leg angle, when the leg was loosened further, it could be extended to flatter angles allowing use quite close to the ground.

On the U-1xx series there was a 'wingnut' IIRC that allowed adjustment of the angle brace between the leg and the central spider assembly. If replacing with a head requiring the 3/8' screw mount, there are bushings available which will easily adapt the larger head thread to the 1/4' stud. It's designed to allow movement of the head to the stud that can be found on the base of the center post or also on one (maybe all?) of the legs. You should be able to unscrew the head, turning it counter clockwise (looking down from above) but it may require some force to do so if you've never had it off. I believe it's the part marked as 0571 on the pdfs. The head is on a 'standard' 1/4' stud, the same as used to connect cameras to tripods (as opposed to the 3/8' stud found on most 'European' or 'professional' tripods.
