Euronaval 2026

Navigate the Future of Naval Innovation

At EURONAVAL 2026 (Hall 6 - Stand H102), Dassault Systèmes invites naval architects, shipyards and defense organizations to step into the model-based era. Building on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, we demonstrate how moving from disconnected documents to connected models transforms the way future ships are imagined, validated, built and sustained.

FROM DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION TO 3D UNIV+RSES

3D UNIV+RSES are Virtual Twin Experiences encapsulating knowledge, know‑how and virtual companions to help you design, validate and optimize naval vessels before moving to production on the shipyard. With 3D UNIV+RSES, naval stakeholders can connect multiple virtual twins within one trusted maritime environment: a virtual twin of the vessel, of the shipyard, of the fleet, and even of the broader defense ecosystem. This unified approach allows companies to explore “what if” scenarios before making decisions in the real world. By combining AI with simulation and engineering rules, these generative experiences remain scientifically valid and operationally trusted. 

BUILDING THE MODEL-BASED NAVAL ENTERPRISE

• Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) for complex naval programs: Move from document-centric to model-based systems engineering that links requirements, functional and physical architectures, safety and certification, giving all stakeholders a view of the ship and its systems across the lifecycle.

• Mission agility for unmanned naval systems (UUVs & USVs): Applied to unmanned underwater and surface vehicles, our solution makes it possible to quickly design, validate, and adapt autonomous systems throughout the entire product lifecycle. By designing unmanned systems within a virtual twin environment, drone manufacturers can evaluate mission effectiveness, refine concepts of operation, and produce faster at scale, answering growing demand.

• Integrated Modeling & Simulation: Connect design and simulation to explore more hull forms, propulsion options, combat-system configurations and mission scenarios in a unified model, accelerating approval cycles and reducing costly late changes.

• Smart shipyard manufacturing & production automation: Discover model-based manufacturing where production plans, resources, robots and workers are orchestrated from a single virtual twin of the shipyard, enabling smarter scheduling, automated operations and continuous improvement in throughput and quality.

• Collaboration and sustainment across the ecosystem: See how a connected model-based backbone allows real time collaboration between OEMs, suppliers and navies, ensuring traceability from design to sustainment and supporting data-driven maintenance strategies to increase fleet availability.
