Four hundred years ago, an edict signed by Cardinal Richelieu gave birth to the French Navy.
Last Thursday, our co-founders Arthur Barbier and Tanguy Le Coq travelled to Toulon to see what its future will look like.
The occasion was i-Naval 2026, the eighth edition of this event organised by the DGA (French Defense Procurement Agency), the University of Toulon, TVT Innovation and the Centre d'expertise des programmes navals. This year's theme: innovate, fight, win.
Drones, artificial intelligence, autonomy, sensor fusion, digital combat systems: the naval defense of tomorrow took shape before our eyes.
At Global SAR Hub, our core mission is Search and Rescue. But these technologies know no borders. Maritime surveillance, command and control, resilient communications, real-time data exploitation: everything that helps win a military operation also helps save time when a life is at stake.
Staying close to defense innovation isn't just a matter of curiosity. It's how we anticipate the tools that will equip rescue operators five years from now.
