For instance, take the Seanergy forge: it is used to reprogram a drone’s mission behaviour remotely while ensuring cybersecurity and operational performance. Another equally compelling demonstration is the instant 4K video transmission, with latency reduced to just a few dozen milliseconds thanks to the Kyber solution which is currently under development for the civilian sector. The message is clear: breakthrough - whether technological, industrial or methodological - is now an integral part of this fast-paced world, affecting both operations and tactics as far as navies are concerned.
Facing the threats of tomorrow
As threats emerge and intensify at an accelerating pace, with the rise of drones and the return of high-intensity conflicts, the combat system is now, more than ever, the cornerstone of naval superiority. To address this pressing need, Naval Group is taking an incremental, collaborative approach in order to develop open, scalable systems and accelerate their deployment onboard. The goal is to equip the French Navy with protection and combat capabilities that make a real difference in the present, while remaining resilient and adaptable to future threats.
This transformation stands on two main pillars. One is based on a complete redesign of the digital and software architecture: the ship is segmented into functional domains, cybersecurity is reinforced, and microservices are woven into the user experience. Soon, with the new generation aircraft carrier (PA-NG), a combat platform will emerge that can adapt in real time to the pace of operations. The second is based on a new culture of engineering and software development which is taking root and powered by Seanergy, fostering collaboration among developers to boost efficiency and enhance cyber resilience.
Driving faster innovation
This revolution is not an isolated occurrence but is taking place in close collaboration with key players. Naval Group unites the defence industrial and technological base (BITD), from startups to large corporations, to identify and integrate the most promising technologies, including those with dual-use applications. The convergence of civilian and military technologies is well underway at Naval Group, driving faster innovation and delivering better solutions for the French Navy and the French Defence Procurement Agency (DGA).
At the heart of this transformation dynamic, Naval Group, the international player in naval defence, is now establishing itself as much more than an overall architect and integrator of warships: it is also a leading software service provider, digital architect for ships and finally an end-to-end expert in naval combat systems. All of these elements make Naval Group a key player in the naval ecosystem, able to design, integrate and advance today’s combat systems to sustainably support the French Navy’s superiority.
