France Libre. La France est libre, audacieuse, souveraine et puissante. Le porte-avions de nouvelle génération (PA-NG), prévu pour remplacer le Charles de Gaulle en 2038, portera un nom fort et symbolique : France Libre. En construction à Nantes-Indret aujourd’hui, et bientôt dans tous les territoires à travers plus de 800 entreprises et des milliers d’emploi, le porte-avions de nouvelle génération est une aventure industrielle, en particulier pour @navalgroup, @Technicatome et les Chantiers de l'Atlantique Le « France Libre » produira les effets militaires attendus de la puissance aérienne déployée depuis la mer. Il multiplie les capacités de surveillance, de renseignement et de frappe, avec une mobilité exceptionnelle offrant l’accès à tous les théâtres d’opérations. Il est une plateforme capable de projeter un groupe aérien hybride, composé d’avions habités et de systèmes dronisés. Il est nativement numérique, sécurisé, connecté et data-centré pour permettre une évolutivité tout au long de sa durée de vie. Vive le « France Libre » Vive la France libre.
