Submarines

Design, construction, maintenance and crew training: Naval Group offers a complete range of services to submarine fleets. The group designs and builds a whole range of submarines: conventional (diesel-electric propulsion) submarines, conventional attack submarines or nuclear-powered submarines or ship subsurface ballistic nuclear submarines.  

With the highest standards of excellence, operational performance and innovation, Naval Group submarines are renowned for their stealth, acoustic discretion and superiority in combat. Their scalability is another key feature, and they are all fitted with state-of-the-art equipment and leading digital systems. Lastly, to ensure the operational superiority of navies, the redundancy of on-board equipment is a prerequisite for Naval Group.

As a system designer and integrator, we also provide an integrated cybersecurity architecture from the design phase. Crews benefit from an excellent real-time surveillance capability to independently prevent and manage cyber threats and thus ensure resilience at sea. Faced with the intensification of cyber challenges, Naval Group has created the Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT), a team of high-level engineers whose role is to better understand cyber threats: analyse, respond, anticipate.

Transfer of technology is essential for exercising sovereignty and is part of our mission. In whole or in part, the industrial submarine construction programs are carried out with local industrial partners, with a twofold advantage: on the one hand, the assurance that the ships meet the requirements of their users, and on the other, the guarantee of a positive socio-economic impact for local communities.

Lastly, training, which combines ultra-realistic simulator courses and exercises, is part of the support delivered by Naval Group, permanently committed to navies over the long term.
