Operational Connectivity and Application<\/h2>
The French Navy conducted initial trials of the MdCN Mk2 with the Aquitaine frigate and Suffren submarine. This operation was considered a significant step in verifying the ability to engage targets from sea and undersea with missiles. The DGA emphasized that the system would enable missile use from sea and undersea platforms and assist in missile protection. This forms the foundation of the strategy to enhance long-range combat capability from sea and undersea.<\/p>
