The bridge of the future
Our underwater weapon offer
Naval Group has an effective offer in terms of conventional and nuclear-powered submarines (note: nuclear technologies are dedicated to the French navy).

Scorpène®
Stealthy and easy to manoeuvre, the Scorpène® submarine sets new standards both on the open seas and in shallow waters. Its missions include combat against surface ships and submarines, intelligence gathering, special operations.
Using the Subtics® combat system, Naval Group’s conventional submarine is incredibly stealthy and autonomous thanks to its third-generation Air-independent propulsion (AIP) system, which gives it 18 days of autonomy at sea.

Barracuda: French excellence
The French navy’s new ship subsurface nuclear submarine is versatile, mobile, enduring and quick to deploy. Missions: all areas of warfare, support for deterrence, deep strikes, extended area surveillance, deployment with a naval aircraft force, cooperation within coalitions, special forces.
Among their missions, the Barracuda-class submarines participate in the support of the nuclear ballistic missile submarines (SSBN) of the Strategic oceanic force (FOST). They will help in particular to create a veritable sanctuary for incoming and outgoing SSBN patrols.
