– Use the civil ecosystem would make it possible to overcome the constraints of factory construction.
Produce more, faster. This is the will of the Ministry of the Armed Forces and the General Directorate of Armament (DGA) to strengthen the defense sector. Thus, the use of civil industry is a credible alternative to support the arms industry and therefore support the war economy, explains BFM TV. The boss of the DGA, Emmanuel Chiva, wishes to focus on small drones, an area “In which France had lagged behind”.
As a reminder, the Ministry of the Armed Forces and the DGA have redoubled their efforts to encourage to relocate production and proceed to the rate of cadence in the industry, since The start of the war in Ukraine in 2022. “The context is complex, we cannot ignore the constraints. We must be a responsible investor “assures Emmanuel Chiva. France then launched a roadmap in order to support the DRONE industries. The “Defense air drones” was signed last June to allow mass production of civilian drones such as “Kamikazes drones” which will have explosive loads.

A way to control costs
Regarding industrialists, this would allow them to explode the order book and thus to extend their market. The interest in resorting to the civil ecosystem would make it possible to overcome the constraints of factory construction and to control the costs much more easily. From 2026, the military exercise Orion 2026 will integrate Mass production of low cost drones For the army. This practice, at the initiative of the DGA, will allow or not to confirm that civilian industrial capacities can be integrated into the production tool for military materials. “We want to have the ability to put a pyrotechnic load on a Delair or Novadem drone, without the need to make a new system”specifies one of the directions of the French Ministry of the Armed Forces.
