The French Navy's modernization, as is the case with the Army and Air and Space Force, is pursued on the basis of successive 7-year Military Planning Laws (Loi de Programmation Militaire or LPM).[1] The latest LPM covers the 2024-2030 period and is tailored around four strategic priorities: the strengthening of deterrence assets; preparation for high-intensity warfare; protecting national interests in all French territories (notably the Outre-mer), shared spaces and key domains (e.g., maritime, digital, outer space); and finally, the strengthening of international partnerships.[2]
Major programs encompass a wide variety of capabilities; from the replacement of the current generation of ballistic missile submarines, nuclear attack submarines and nuclear-powered aircraft carrier to the ongoing modernization of the first-rank surface combatant fleet as well as offshore patrol and logistic support fleets.
