At Euronaval 2024, the french defense procurement agency DGA was showcasing for the first time its Unmanned Combat Underwater Vehicle (UCUV) demonstrator. Designed and produced by Naval Group, this UCUV demonstrator is the first French extra large unmanned underwater vehicle (XLUUV): A submarine drone.

=====================

On December 28, 2023, DGA awarded Naval Group a framework agreement for the design, production and testing of an Unmanned Combat Underwater Vehicle (UCUV) demonstrator. A first follow-on contract was also signed for the design and development of Naval Group’s Autonomous Decision-Making Process (ADMP) and secure autonomous navigation.

Unmanned systems play an increasingly important role in naval combat, providing navies with the technological and tactical superiority they need.
