• At the 2026 Euronaval edition, Naval Group will showcase its comprehensive range of ships,  systems, and services as well as its new solutions designed to meet the challenges driven by  high intensity and hybrid naval combat.  

As high-intensity operations transform the needs of navies and challenge both the structure of  fleets and the technological capabilities of ships, Naval Group reaffirms at Euronaval its  commitment to working alongside navies to respond quickly to new challenges in naval combat.  

During Euronaval, Naval Group will display its product families that build on ships proven at sea  and in combat, as well as on operational production lines. Alongside, the group will present its  latest developments on the simultaneous use of various technologies: drones, AI and data  analytics, information superiority provided by radar and sonar, cyber capabilities, and the  principle of fleet hybridization. 

Journalists are welcome on the booth to explore our range of products and services, engage in  discussions with our experts, and attend the different keynotes and conferences Naval Group  participates in (see attached document). 

Key topics at the Euronaval exhibition 

Our ranges of combat-ready ships 

FDI frigate family 

Discover the FDI, a combat-ready frigate, built in serial production for France, Greece, and  Sweden, and so allowing rapid deliveries. It has already demonstrated its capabilities for long endurance and high-intensity operations, under the most demanding conditions around the globe,  in all warfare domains. 

Designed for extreme weather conditions, the FDI combines advanced anti-air, anti-submarine  and anti-surface warfare capabilities in a single platform. The frigate is interoperable with NATO  forces and benefits from proven technologies already deployed by the French Navy. The FDI is  designed to operate in conjunction with drones and can also carry aerial and surface drones. The  design is versatile with a lot of different configurations depending on the requirement of our  customers. With a wide range of possible configurations, the ship’s multi-mission capabilities can  be supplemented with specialised capabilities.  

Gowind family 

Gowind is a multi-mission surface combatant designed to perform the full range of naval defence  operations and maritime security roles, with the highest level of performance. Sturdy, strongly  equipped, Gowind integrates, through Naval Group’s SETIS Combat Management System and  innovative structural solutions, the latest generation sensors and weapons. Gowind can integrate  customized options and growth potential driven by customer requirement and innovation 

Gowind is already in service and meets the strategic stakes of major navies, as 11 units have  already been chosen by various navies which need a multi-mission combat ship to carry out  maritime protection operations and ensure their sovereignty. Most of them are built locally,  thanks to technology transfer and partnerships with local industries. 

Blacksword Barracuda 

The Blacksword Barracuda leverages the Barracuda family’s feedback and commonalities. It is  long-range and long-duration conventionally propelled submarine featuring all the required  operational capabilities for a first-rank Navy. It is extremely stealthy, equipped with a wide range  of sensors, weapons and means of action. Designed to be robust and resistant, it offers the means  to operate far, long and in ever more demanding environments. It is equipped with the very latest  generation of lithium-ion batteries, enabling it to operate under water for several days at a time,  at any speed. To this day, 4 Blacksword Barracuda submarines have been ordered by the  Netherlands in 2024, and the first unit will be delivered in 2033. 

Scorpène submarine 

Scorpène conventional attack submarine, a multi-mission sea proven submarine designed by  Naval Group to cover the full spectrum of submarine warfare, such as anti-surface warfare,  antisubmarine warfare, special operations or intelligence gathering. Extremely stealthy with a  powerful combat capability (torpedoes and missiles) and high operational readiness, contributing  to a credible deterrence. With 14 submarines built worldwide, the Scorpène is a key reference of  conventional attack submarines (SSK) for navies around the world.

Hybrid naval combat 

Drones & autonomous systems 

As the battles of tomorrow will be drone-intensive, connected and collaborative, Naval Group  designs and develops drone capabilities, including drone projection ships for mine warfare and  anti-submarine warfare, as well as key technological capabilities. Through our complete range of  drones, we aim at creating a fleet of interoperable drones, capable of sharing information in real  time and ready for combat. Naval Group focuses on integrating drones into complete naval  combat systems (ships, submarines) with which they operate in synergy. 

Concept ship SCX26 

The SCX 26 is a research project that brings together responses to new operational  requirements, lessons learnt from recent conflicts and medium to long-term technological  developments, with a view to testing hypotheses regarding a still highly theoretical ship concept  designed for the naval combat of the future. The design of the SCX26 is based on tried-and-tested  solutions, but also on technological breakthroughs that are likely to become available soon. 

Counter-drone warfare 

The emergence and proliferation of drone attacks, combined with asymmetric threats, place anti drone warfare at the heart of the challenges facing surface ship protection. To stay ahead of  rapidly evolving threats, Naval Group offers an open and scalable architecture, proven solutions,  and artificial intelligence to accelerate the decision-making process. 

Designed by Naval Group, Rampart is a system created to respond to evolving and escalating  asymmetric threats. It is a near-field auto-defense system designed to respond to the evolution  and escalating of asymmetric threats. Unveiled as a concept in 2024, the system benefitted from  rapid and agile development on Naval Group’s own funds 

Artificial intelligence is also contributing to the growing maturity of anti-drone capabilities within  the group: in 2025, Naval Group acquired a 20% stake in cortAIx Factory France, Thales’ AI  accelerator dedicated to critical systems.  

Modernisation 

The new operational rhythms, confronted to high intensity, require adjusting maintenance  schedules to accommodate more sustained deployments with greater uncertainty, with the goal  of enabling fleets to travel farther, more often, and for longer periods. Naval Group offers customized and scalable solutions that can be integrated into the existing environment, to  modernize surface combatant, submarines and logistic vessels, to face the new challenges. Naval  Group can develop and deliver customized solutions of extension and upgrade of all kinds of naval  platforms and systems over their entire life cycle.
