The time duration is very long.
45 month for one submarine is too much time consuming.

"STM Breaks New Ground In Pakistan

STM has achieved major success as it was awarded the submarine modernization tender initiated by Pakistan’s Ministry of Defence Production against the company which has built the submarines. Thus, engineering exports will be initiated in our country for the first time in the field of submarines, a field that calls for advanced technology.

STM has marked major success in being awarded the international tender that was initiated for the half-life modernization of class “Agosta 90B” submarines in the inventory of Pakistani Naval Forces; competing against the French company which designed and built the submarines themselves. Covering a total of 3 submarine modernization orders; 1 of which is confirmed in addition to 2 orders on an optional basis; the contract was signed on 22 June 2016 in Rawalpindi/Pakistan; between Pakistan’s Ministry of Defence Production and STM; under the supervision of officials from the Embassy of Pakistan in Turkey and the Undersecretariat for Defense Industries.

As part of the project regarding the modernization of class “Agosta 90B” submarines; STM entered a long, compelling competitive evaluation process with French DCNS Shipyard which undertook the designing and production operations for the aforementioned submarines. After a tendering process beginning on April 16, STM was found to be technically and commercially superior and was selected as the main contractor to sign the contract. The modernization operations will be performed at a local shipyard in Pakistan. The first submarine will be delivered in 45 months. The other submarines are estimated to be modernized with 1 year in between the modernization of each."

I think its 4-5 months,

 

[Muhammad Omar]

will it increase the life span? and what kind of upgrades these subs will undergo? how will it enhance the capabilities?

 

[jermankill]

what kind of modernization will be?

 

[nomi007]

Is STM a private company?

Turkish Armed Forces Foundation has indirectly 32 % of shares of STM. 66 % of shares of STM belong to state institutions and organizations.

 

[Quwa]

what kind of modernization will be?

Most likely electronics and sensors, though STM could potentially help with structural refreshment, but I don't know to what extent.

 

[PakShaheen79]

Has it anyting to do with the earlier PN request for Turkish Milgem corvette? STM also run that program, i think.

Here is Turkish type 209 modernisation program


The modernization project comprising renewal of Electronic Support, Attack and Search Periscopes and Inertial Navigation Systems has been carried out by STM as the main contractor and applied on TCG DOĞANAY and TCG DOLUNAY submarines.

The contracts have been signed among the STM-SSM, STM-ASELSAN, STM-Zeiss and STM-Raytheon on 2011 and the projects will go for 4.5 years.

The project will be realized by the support, labor force and experience of Turkish Navy Gölcük Naval Shipyard where has kept extensive knowledge for more than 35 years.
Within this project, STM will conduct;

• Integration and installation system-system and system-platform activities,
• Integrated Logistics Support,
• To provide technical support and services.

This project will inherently bring new opportunities to Turkey for international submarine modernization projects.
