Naval defence
Naval Group is an all-round expert in naval defence. Naval Group relies on its far-reaching and unique positioning in order to succeed in a context with a constantly evolving balance. It allows Naval Group to finely tailor its offer to each navy's needs.
Naval Group holds a unique position. While many contributors have a role to play in only part of the industrial chain of naval defence, we are the only group present throughout the entire life cycle of whole warships, from the preliminary design through to the deconstruction and physical and functional integration of systems.
50 navies have chosen Naval Group as their trusted partner
Naval Group serves 50 navies around the world. Fifty navies who place their trust in us to design the naval solutions of tomorrow, manage some of the most complex projects in the world and provide efficient and innovative solutions throughout the life cycle of their ships. Naval Group ensures transfer of technology for these navies to enable them to become fully autonomous in terms of naval defence.
Multiple naval programs
A 360° naval defence is a reality reflected in multiple naval programs. Amongst these are ships delivered as part of export contracts: Belh@rra® defence and intervention frigates (FDI), Gowind®, ocean-going corvettes with stealth and endurance, minehunters, multimission armed patrol vessels, the Ocean Patrol Vessels (OPV).
More recently, Vagir, a conventional Scorpène® class submarine was successfully delivered to the Indian Navy in January 2023, thanks to a unique transfer of technology program contributing to the navy’s autonomy.
Fleet services
Maintaining and modernising fleets and training those who will use and maintain our ships and their systems is essential for optimised operational performance, at all times and over the long term. Here too, navies can rely on Naval Group as their trusted partner. Services represent an important part of our business, accounting for 38 % of our revenue, both in France and internationally.
