Jeumont Electric to Supply Propulsion Systems for Poland’s A26 Submarines

France's Jeumont Electric has won a Saab contract to supply three complete electric propulsion systems for Poland's planned A26 submarines under the Orka acquisition program, the company announced on October 16, 2026. The equipment will form part of the submarines' main propulsion architecture, where electrically driven machinery and acoustic discretion are important characteristics of submerged operation. The award builds on Jeumont's existing work with Saab submarines, including the Swedish Blekinge-class A26 program. It represents a supplier contract for three propulsion sets rather than delivery of completed Polish submarines, and Jeumont did not disclose the agreement's monetary value or an equipment handover schedule.
