Euronaval 2026: French naval industry facing rearmament and drones

The Euronaval show opened on November 2, 2026 in Villepinte against a backdrop of strong military demand, with French shipyards having to overhaul their organization and adapt to drones. Naval Group presented progress on the European corvette project and the SCX26 destroyer concept, while ArianeGroup unveiled its B-Strike missiles. Marine Le Pen, Édouard Philippe and Bruno Retailleau were expected at the show, and the Ministry of the Armed Forces announced an order for Exocet and MdCN missiles from MBDA. The nuclear aircraft carrier France Libre project, with around 800 companies mobilized and electromagnetic catapults, was presented, before the show concluded with the Danae project surface drones and a recruitment day.
