From 2nd to 5th April 2019, Naval Group is participating at LAAD Defence & Security – International Defence and Security Exhibition, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Naval Group is showcasing the state-of-art innovations created for modern navies, demonstrating its capabilities in modern military ship and submarine building along with high tech solutions for systems and competence as leading naval integrator.
The Latin American Defence and Security exhibition - LAAD - is an opportunity to reinforce the long-lasting presence of Naval Group in Brazil and to reiterate its commitment to Brazil as a major industrial partner.
Naval Group is grateful for the trust of the Brazilian authorities and the Brazilian Navy and is proud to provide technological superiority through its range of products.

Brazil launched its first Brazilian built Scorpène® submarine in December 2018. Brazil now possesses a full capability to manufacture a submarine from steal sheet forming to testing of embedded systems and 2000 people are currently employed.
