Naval Group will soon deliver the Normandie frigate in Brest. The frigate was built under a programme managed by the OCCAR on behalf of the French Navy and Defence Procurement Agency (DGA).

The company will begin construction of two FREMM frigates, the Alsace and the Lorraine, with reinforced air defence capabilities and the Defence and Intervention Frigate (FDI), which is regarded as the first fully digital warship.

These two frigates will be delivered in 2021 and 2022.

First steel cut for the FDI warships is planned to take place in October this year. Naval Group expects to deliver the fully digital warships from 2023.
