Naval Group tests Rampart CIWS at sea

Naval Group has completed the first at-sea test campaign of its Rampart close-in weapon system, conducted aboard a French Navy Mistral-class LHD during the WildFire 2026 exercise. The campaign allowed the company to mature the system’s development.

During the test, the crew fired a salvo of unguided rockets at a sea target and a guided rocket against a target UAV. Rampart is a modular launcher that can accommodate various payloads, including guided and unguided rockets, very short-range surface-to-air missiles, and short-range surface-to-surface missiles.
