Naval's Group Mission
A significant part of the rMCM contract is performed in Belgium, notably the production of certain equipment for the ship and all naval drones. The industrial cooperation plan associated with this contract includes several Belgian partners and participates not only in creating employment in Belgium but to the country’s industrial development as well.

Naval Group, through its subsidiary in Belgium, has opened a centre of excellence and innovation in the field of mine countermeasures and naval cybersecurity. Naval Group Belgium manages two collaborative research laboratories - the MCM Lab and the Cyber Lab - bringing together ecosystems comprising manufacturers and Belgian universities working in close collaboration with the Belgian Defence.

Naval Group Belgium, an active player in several European programs, also lead the Equal Mine Counter Measures (E=MCM) consortium, selected by the European Commission to reinforce European capabilities in mine countermeasures and to pave the way for the future generation of Made in Europe countermeasure solutions.

Naval Group’s Belgian subsidiary is also developing its activities in the field of services, spanning the maintenance of the present tripartite mine countermeasures to ensuring operational availability of the future mine warships for its naval customers.
