Geopolitics and conflitc: the viewpoint of the Chief of Naval Staff, Amiral Nicolas Vaujour
"The geopolitical tensions that are on the rise originate on land, but are also expressed at sea. In our fractured world, military action at sea is more frequent, more diverse and more sensitive, because our everyday lives depend on maritime trade and undersea cables. The naval battle in the Black Sea, the Houthi strikes in the Red Sea, the Chinese provocations in the China Sea, the Russian demonstrations in the Eastern Mediterranean, the Turkish intimidation around Cyprus and the American or European operations in the Mediterranean and Red Sea are all illustrations of these growing balances of power.
The Chief of Naval Staff is responsible for thinking, preparing and leading the Navy of today and tomorrow. What is his analysis of geopolitical developments and their impact on conflicts at sea? How are conflicts evolving, driven by new players with new technologies (hypervelocity missiles, information networks, drones, cyber, AI, etc.)? How can we adapt our sailors and their ships to a battle that can start right now? What kind of navy for the middle of the century? These are the issues that will be addressed in this discussion with Admiral Vaujour.".
