The next step for the Independence-variant LCS is to ditch the monolithic, single mission module concept and think of these ships like miniature aircraft carriers for unmanned vehicles. Load a variety of unmanned vehicles based on mission to operate above, on, and under the water and go. Change the mix as the mission and technology change. The primary mission is scouting: “At sea better scouting – more than maneuver, as much as weapon range, and oftentimes as much as anything else – has determined who would attack not merely effectively, but who would attack decisively first.” -Wayne P. Hughes, Jr., Fleet Tactics: Theory and Practice, Naval Institute Press, pg. 173, 1986.

⚓💡 Naval Group has won 5 projects in the calls for #FED2023, capturing 98% of the grants requested and confirms its position as a European R&D player. The European Defense Fund (EDF) is a European Union (EU) program intended to finance research and development of industrial programs in the field of defense. The selected projects: 🔹E=MCM: Develop and evaluate a future interoperable European MCM system dedicated to maritime combat operations. 🔹EPC2: Create a certified design for an innovative, modular, flexible, interoperable and eco-responsible multi-role corvette. 🔹Seacure: Develop and evaluate unmanned platforms to manage Anti-Submarine Warfare. 🔹Calipso: Develop innovative decarbonized propulsion systems based on sustainable fuels. 🔹Fespan: Develop and test an efficient electromagnetic waves propagation model.

Today, Naval Group is in the spotlight as part of our social media campaign "Meet our members". As an industrial prime contractor, designer and integrator for whole warships and combat systems, Naval Group (DCNS) is an international naval defence player and a partner for countries seeking to maintain control of their maritime sovereignty. Thanks to its extraordinary know-how and industrial resources, it designs, produces, integrates, supports, dismantles and deconstructs submarines and surface ships. Emmanuel Brochard, head of European R&D partnerships development at NAVAL GROUP: we very much value our membership with the WaterborneTP and I am particularly involved in the working group on digitalization. Sharing R&D dual topics with all stakeholders of the maritime ecosystem is valuable for our company. Among others, there is a huge interest to join forces into EU collaborative projects in the fields of energetic optimization and ships digital transformation. Also, when coming to navigation security and safety, the ecosystem faces a major R&D stake in the use of autonomous vehicles (drones) for surveillance and reconnaissance missions, monitoring of maritime activities, safeguard territorial waters and anti-piracy operations.

Australia and the US have unveiled new prototype uncrewed underwater vehicles (UUVs), Ghost Shark and Manta Ray, respectively, to enhance Pacific naval defenses. These UUVs represent advancements in undersea warfare, aiming to exert power while minimizing human risk. Ghost Shark, developed by Australia and Anduril Australia, promises stealthy, long-range capabilities for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and strike missions. The US's Manta Ray, developed by Northrop Grumman, emphasizes modularity for various missions and ease of transport and assembly. Both projects face challenges in underwater communications and energy requirements but mark significant progress in military UUV technology.

Reconnaissance is a military term for the exploration and collection of information about enemy forces, terrain, or other relevant operational factors. It involves the gathering of data through various methods to inform military strategy and decision-making. Types of Reconnaissance 1. Ground Reconnaissance: Patrolling and direct observation to gather information about enemy positions, movements, and terrain. 2. Aerial Reconnaissance: Uses aircraft or drones to survey larger areas from the sky, and can cover difficult-to-access terrains. 3. Naval Reconnaissance: Carried out by ships and submarines. 4. Satellite Reconnaissance: Involves the use of satellites to capture images and data from space. Offers global coverage and can provide high-resolution imagery, often in real-time. Reliable connectivity and secure communication, are the lifelines of effective reconnaissance operations, because they enable efficient utilization of critical intelligence in operational environments. #Satellite #satcom #vsat #secureCommunications #millitaryOps #criticalmissions #GovernmentGrade
