The Ministry of Armed Forces and Veterans announced progress on the SLAM-F program for the French Navy, aligned with the 2024-2030 Military Programming Law. The initiative includes acquiring a dozen surface and submarine drones, alongside deploying drone-carrying vessels through strategic partnerships with the UK, Belgium, and the Netherlands. These measures aim to enhance maritime anti-mine capabilities and ensure French strategic autonomy. The project also involves establishing new diver bases and expanding global operational presence to safeguard national interests when required.
