LHD ships Mistral type: an armament programme carried out as a civilian engineering large project

Jérôme TARD, DCN - Lorient (France)

 

DCN has been awarded a contract for two new generation LHD, with enhanced military missions and performances (when compared with the previous "Sirocco" class LPD). The new design combines an extensive use of civilian technologies, standards, and regulations for commercial ships, with the integration of up-to-date military functions.

To carry out this project in a delay three times smaller than the nuclear aircraft carrier "Charles de Gaulle" (with equivalent light displacement), the usual methods of armament programmes, were inadequate. DCN organized the project according to best practices of civilian projects (offshore, ready-to-use plant construction), especially in procurement, planning and contract management.
