What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The French government announced a new industry pact aimed at building a national ecosystem of drone makers for the French Navy. Minister of the Armed Forces Catherine Vautrin introduced the initiative on November 3 at the Euronaval defense trade show. This framework is intended to align the needs of the armed forces with the defense industry. Naval drones are expected to be used for tasks such as removing sea mines and collecting hydrographic and oceanographic data.
