Services for Navy personnel
Because the effectiveness of any Navy depends upon the quality of the men and women serving in its ranks, DCNS offers a range of services designed to ensure that Navy personnel possess all the technical and behavioral skills they need to bring their missions to a successful conclusion.
Services to facilitate recruitment
In an environment where expertise is a commodity in short supply, it is essential to avoid all “casting errors.” This is why DCNS offers the OPTICREW solution, a decision support tool designed to help Navies both to recruit and to manage their human capital more efficiently. OPTICREW not only makes it possible to reduce casting errors by 30%, it also halves the time necessary to identify the ideal candidate.
Smaller crews
Because certain Navies want to reduce the size of their onboard crews, DCNS provides solutions from the initial design stage of its products. The aim is to define the optimum human configuration in the light of the technical skills, educational background and requirements related to onboard behavior.
Closely-knit, highly skilled crews
Working in partnership with the French Naval Academy, DCNS can draw up the list of occupations and provide detailed job profiles for all types of surface vessels and submarines. This approach optimizes the crewmember selection process in line with the specific requirements of individual missions.
Thanks to the solutions developed by DCNS, Captains can define their management priorities before setting sail. They can assemble the most closely-knit and competent crews possible and avoid potential conflicts onboard.
Professional profile, professional training
An expert in providing maintenance for ships throughout their life cycle, DCNS has developed training programs that cover all the services required to keep ships in perfect condition and to allow them to carry out their missions effectively. A full range of training courses – leading to a recognized qualification – and e-learning programs has been designed specifically to enable crews to perfect their knowledge and know-how in all relevant areas, even when out at sea!
Shipbuilding and maintenance
DCNS offers the possibility to transfer technology and know-how in order to allow client Navies to acquire the skills and tools they need to build and maintain their fleets. Singapore, South Africa, India, Spain and Pakistan have all benefited from training that enhances their autonomy… and they have helped, in the process, to boost the dynamism of the local industrial fabric.
