Underwater weapons
Naval Group designs, manufactures and maintains underwater weapons systems providing navies with the deterrence and fire power they require.
Underwater threats are rapidly growing in the world’s seas, from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean and from the Indian Ocean to the South Pacific. Renewed activity by the Chinese, Russian or American navies, rising naval defence budgets, the construction of submarines of all sizes (mini-submarines, coastal, conventional or nuclear-powered submarines) to create or expand existing fleets ... the consequence being hundreds of submarines potentially navigating through international waters, creating the need for nations to be on the alert to safeguard their sovereignty and interests. And underwater weapons are a key element of their naval strategies.
