The Brazilian Navy inducted 'Humaita', the second Scorpene submarine that was built domestically, based on technology transfer from the French firm Naval Group. This is part of Brazil's ProSub programme that aims to enhance their Navy's submarine force with four new conventional (diesel-electric) Scorpene submarines and the development of an indigenous Nuclear-powered submarine.
In recent years, the French-origin Scorpene submarines have had many takers with the Indian Navy inducting six of them, and two each being added to the fleets of Malaysia and Chile.
