16 September 2025 Defense Naval Innovation Story

On 16 September 2025, Naval Group showcased the very best of its innovation, developed for the French Navy, the Fleet Support Service (SSF) and the French Defence Procurement Agency (DGA) at La Seine Musicale, near Paris. The Naval Innovation Days (NID), a biennial event created by the group, brought together government representatives including industrial and academic partners around nine technological areas, from the ultra-realistic wargame to the combat system of the future.

In 2025, against a backdrop of rising tensions and overlapping traditional and emerging threats, NID featured a broad range of concrete, tangible innovations, some ready for deployment and others already undergoing testing onboard. Each innovation reflects a collaborative and incremental approach, grounded in a top-tier technological and industrial ecosystem.

The aim is to accelerate the integration of game-changing innovation onboard naval vessels so as to deliver operational, tactical and strategic advantages to the French Navy.
