Fleet optimization
Because fleets gradually become obsolete, DCNS offers an array of services designed to modernize vessels or to extend their useful lives. The aim is to support Navies and help them succeed in their missions, which are themselves also subject to constant change.
New threats
The threats facing the world today are different from those of the past. Navies are required to confront a greater number of increasingly complex challenges. As a result, they must build an operational fleet capable of meeting their various needs. As the new ship purchasing cycle can be long, it is necessary for Navies to both maintain, modernize and increase the useful lives of older vessels to ensure their ability to bring their missions to a successful conclusion.
An integrated approach
This type of project calls for an approach that includes both the platform and the combat system. The aim is to restore the operational and navigation capabilities at the lowest possible cost, ensure consistency between the platform and the combat system, and optimize the combat system itself either by choosing appropriate new equipment or by using the equipment already existing on the ship.
Guaranteeing the ship’s integrity
In its capacity as prime contractor, DCNS guarantees the integrity of the ship, i.e. onboard safety, performance along with all aspects related to integration. Crews can therefore set sail on a mission in perfect safety and enjoy all the functionalities of fully operational vessels.
Controlling costs
Thanks to its policy of working with local partners (private companies, shipyards, computer engineering and maintenance companies), DCNS provides solutions that make it possible to keep costs under tight control while simultaneously contributing to the dynamism of the local economic fabric. The Group lists local equipment suppliers capable of meeting the demands and specifications of its customers.
