France Defense Market Dynamics
Domestic modernization programs, NATO alliance, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine are some of the key drivers influencing the France defense market growth. Following the adoption of Military Planning Law in 2018, France has been incrementally increasing its defense spending as part of a wider effort to modernize the equipment employed by the various branches of the armed forces. The French Armed Forces fall under the same macro-strategic pressure as their allies, with both procurement officials and industry representatives continuing to push for the modernization to ensure the maximum level of interoperability and efficiency.
The major procurement programs are SNLE 3G, Rafale-F4, and H160M. In line with the Military Plan Law 2019-2025, France announced that it would develop four third generation nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines (SNLE 3G) to replace the four Triomphant-class (SNLE 2G) SSBNs currently in service from 2035.
France Military Doctrines and Defense Strategies
Doctrine: The primary objective of France’s military doctrine is the protection of French territories, its population, and wider national interests, while also respecting international security commitments to NATO and European security structures. The Doctrine for the Employment of the French Armed Forces (CIA-01) outlines major priorities for the armed forces, namely developing operational autonomy and cooperative abilities, upholding and exerting international leverage across multinational alliances and organizations, integrating cyber capabilities into all operations, and strengthening logistical agility.
Strategy: High command had been increasingly concerned about the possibility of high intensity conflict, describing it as a credible hypothesis. This scenario was realized when Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. As such, France’s defense strategy has been, and will increasingly be, centred around preparing French forces for such conflict. Moreover, as France’s allies pivot to the Indo-pacific region, in the face of heightened China-Taiwan tensions, France is increasingly having to prepare to operate in a multipolar environment
