Video: French Navy Demonstrates Cooperative Engagement

In a European first, the French Navy (Marine Nationale) demonstrated a cooperative engagement between two of its surface vessels. The “Veille Coopérative Navale” test took place in September 2019.

Horizon-class air defense destroyer Forbin remotely engaged a target (with an ASTER 30 surface to air missile) using a radar track shared via data-link by the FREMM frigate Languedoc.

In this video, Naval News meets with the commanding officer of the Forbin to learn more about this test, and the future capability that the French Navy is about to get and which will be a first in Europe.

Veille Coopérative Navale: The French CEC

As part of the GABIAN 19.3 High Intensity Training, air defense destroyer Forbin engaged for the first time an ASTER 30 missile against a target drone that was tracked and targeted by another vessel (FREMM Languedoc). French Navy picture.

The “Veille Coopérative Navale” (naval cooperative watch) is a capability currently under development based on the principle of networking all the data of the sensors of a naval air force. It differs from tactical data linking by exchanging raw and much more accurate information directly from sensors, not from elaborate data. In the future, with the Veille Coopérative Navale , the French Navy will have an optimized picture of the threat and sufficient information to implement even more effectively an anti missile system, facilitating the choice of the most suitable platform to deal with the threat, in a similar fashion to the American CEC (cooperative engagement capability) system.
