From 11th to 14th April 2023, Naval Group participates to LAAD Defence & Security - International Defence and Security Exhibition, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The group will be showcasing its leading technologies designed to meet the needs of modern navies, offering submarines, surface ships as well as high-tech solutions covering the entire vessels life cycle.

Naval Group is grateful for the trust of the Brazilian authorities and the Brazilian Navy.

The group stands ready to continue providing technological superiority through its wide range of solutions. Naval Group, a long-term strategic partner of Brazilian sovereignty In 2009, within the framework of the French-Brazilian strategic defense cooperation agreement, the Brazilian Navy chose Naval Group for its Programa de desenvolvimento de Submarinos, the ProSub program.

The "Blue Amazon", Brazil exclusive economic zone is equivalent to the surface area of the Amazon forest, and covers 3.6 million square kilometers of Atlantic coastline. To protect its rich marine biodiversity and energy resources and assert its sovereignty over the area, Brazil decided to reinforce its submarine force with four new conventional submarines (SSK) and the development of an indigenous nuclear-powered submarine (SSN). Through an unprecedented transfer of technology, Naval Group is working with Brazil to build and operate four conventional Riachuelo-class submarines (Scorpène® type) in a new shipyard and naval base built in Itaguaí for this purpose. Riachuelo, first of the four submarines of the ProSub program was commissioned by the Brazilian Navy in September 2022 and Humaitá, the second submarine of the series, launched in December 2020, will be delivered by the end of the year. Naval Group also supports the Brazilian Navy in the design and construction of the first Brazilian nuclear-powered submarine and will provide support beyond the construction of the submarines over the entire life cycle of the ships.
