Naval defence
Naval Group designs, builds, integrates, provides in-service support, dismantles and deconstructs submarines and surface ships. As industrial contractor, designer and overall integrator of whole warships and combat systems, it also offers a full range of services to naval bases and shipyards.
Naval defence is one of the major components of nation sovereignty. Navies must carry out prevention, protect a country’s interests, and ensure the projection of power and deterrence in increasingly unstable environments. In order to take on these sovereign missions, navies need naval forces capable of responding to multiple conventional friendly threats, and also asymmetric and cyber threats.
50 navies have chosen Naval Group as 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
360° naval defence is a reality reflected in multiple naval programs. The ships recently delivered for export include the Gowind® for the Egyptian Navy, the first of a series delivered within a record time of 3 years, and the commissioning of the Kalvari, a conventional Scorpène® type submarine benefiting from an unprecedented transfer of technology to the Indian Navy to ensure its autonomy. Chosen to design and build the new generation of Australian submarines, Naval Group has also entered into a 50-year partnership with the Commonwealth of Australia.
Fleet services
Maintaining and modernising fleets and training those who will use 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 41% of our revenue in 2019, both in France and internationally.
