Also known as: SDAM
SDAM (Système de drone aérien pour la Marine) is the French Navy and DGA programme to put vertical take-off drones on Navy ships for surveillance beyond the horizon. Airbus Helicopters and Naval Group received a risk-reduction contract in 2017, and the VSR700 demonstrator completed sea trials on the frigate Provence in 2023. On 29 and 30 December 2025 the DGA signed contracts with Naval Group for five Camcopter S-100F systems of two aircraft each for the multi-mission frigates, and with Naval Group and Airbus Helicopters for six VSR700 drones for the Jacques Chevallier-class supply ships, which enter service from 2028.
