Naval Group unveiled the SCX26 concept at Euronaval, exploring a future surface combatant combining a substantial missile armament with facilities for uncrewed systems. The design features separated superstructures, distributed sensors and an internal mission area. It is presented as a vehicle for examining future naval requirements, rather than a ship approved for immediate construction.
Assessment: The concept addresses the integration and sustainment of drones alongside conventional weapons. Proposed characteristics remain design objectives; power demand, survivability, maintenance and simultaneous operation of embarked systems require validation.
