Naval Group in the Netherlands
Naval Group is an all-round expert in naval defence. In order to succeed in a context where the equilibrium is changing, Naval Group relies on its unique and far-reaching positioning. It allows Naval Group to tailor its reply to each navy's needs in the finest detail.
Naval Group holds a unique position. Whereas numerous companies operate in a single part of the naval defence industrial chain, we are present over the whole life cycle of a warship, from preliminary studies to design, via physical and functional integration of systems, all the way through to deconstruction.
Naval defence is one of the major components of a nation’s 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, as well as asymmetric and cyber threats.
Naval Group serves navies around the world. 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.
The Mine Countermeasures (MCM) program
In 2019, Belgium and the Netherlands selected the Belgium Naval & Robotics consortium formed by Naval Group and ECA Group, to replace their minehunter fleets. The MCM program aims to supply twelve minehunters equipped with drone systems (toolbox). France joined the program in 2023.
Our partnership with the Dutch industry
Naval Group has qualified a large number of Dutch partners, suppliers and knowledge centres. The total sales figures for products and services provided by Dutch suppliers for Naval Group over the past five years amount to over 200 million euros, making the Dutch maritime cluster an integral part of Naval Group’s ecosystem and Naval Group’s second international supplier.

This agreement formalises the partnership strategy set up by Naval Group with the Dutch Defence technological and industrial base to serve all its programs.
