# France Orders Four SAMP/T NG Batteries

On October 23, 2026, France signed a contract with the Eurosam consortium to produce four additional SAMP/T NG air and missile defense batteries, bringing its total planned orders to 12 systems. The contract value, delivery schedule, and contract number were not disclosed. The expansion supports demand for the system’s radar and missile components, integration, operator training, and sustainment, creating potential supply-chain opportunities for defense contractors.

- Eurosam is the awardee; Thales and Leonardo are identified as radar suppliers, making radar production and integration relevant areas for industry stakeholders.
- Companies with capabilities in air-defense components, missile systems, systems integration, training, or sustainment can assess potential opportunities in Eurosam’s supply chain.
- The additional order signals continued French investment in integrated air and missile defense, but the undisclosed value and schedule limit near-term estimates of contract scale and timing.
