The logistic support and supplying of spares and consumables is an important part of the activity in naval robotics. Sea environment is extremely demanding for equipment and systems and the level of maintenance is very important all along their life especially for subsea drones. Beyond the French Navy, ECA Group proposes a day to day support of its various equipment and systems which are deployed in more than fifteen navies around the world. As an average, logistic support represents 25 to 30 % of naval robotics activity.
The French demining PAPs will remain in activity till the mid 2020’s.They will be progressively replaced with the delivery of the future demining systems that the French Navy will order in the coming years after the results of French/UK MMCM programme.
