Naval Group
As industrial contractor, designer and overall integrator of whole warships and combat systems, Naval Group is an international player.
Thanks to exceptional know-how and industrial resources, it designs, builds, integrates, dismantles and deconstructs and provides through-life support for submarines and surface ships. It is thanks to the group that France is a member of the select circle of nations capable of producing Ship Sub-Surface Ballistic Nuclear (SSBN) submarines. France is also one of the few countries to have an excellent naval aviation, the flagship of which is the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier, a symbol of French deterrence, designed and maintained by Naval Group.
Via its 10 production sites in France, all experts in a key part of the naval defence value chain, and from its international subsidiaries, Naval Group builds a unique range of products and services for each navy. An offer adapted to its own needs and local challenges.
Committed to exercising its corporate social responsibility, Naval Group adheres to the United Nations Global Compact.

Fully satisfy our customers by supplying them with the naval systems needed to defend their national interests.
Naval Group designs, builds, modernises and provides through-life support for navy ships, trains their crews and designs and operates their naval infrastructures.

400 years of naval innovation
Naval Group is the inheritor of nearly 400 years of naval innovation and excellence. Major technological, industrial and social advances have marked its history, from the first arsenals created by Cardinal Richelieu in 1631 to the launch of the Suffren, the first Barracuda-class submarine, in 2019. All of them contributed to the superiority of the French Navy, one of the largest navies in the world, and to the leadership of Naval Group.

Products of rare complexity
Amongst the most complex products designed by humanity, Ship Subsurface Ballistic Nuclear (SSBN) submarines are in a league of their own. One million components and 15 million hours of work were needed to build Le Terrible, France’s newest SSBN, while an airliner requires “only” 100,000 parts and 50,000 hours of work.
