Budgetary considerations notwithstanding, an ambitious operational demonstrator of large unmaned underwater vessel (optionnaly armed) - provided by Naval Group and a group of subcontractors - is set to begin trials with French Navy units in 2028.
Naval Group will build an operational demonstrator of its Unmanned Combat Underwater Vehicle (UCUV) for the French Navy under a contract signed during Euronaval 2026. Sea trials are scheduled to begin in 2028.
The contract, announced by the French defence procurement agency DGA, the Defence Innovation Agency (AID) and Naval Group, moves the programme from technology studies and testing to the construction of an operational demonstrator.
