French engineering group CNIM launched a new multimission landing craft, called the LCX, designed for use by naval forces specialising in reconnaissance and the preparation and execution of maritime and amphibious operations from a landing helicopter dock (LHD).

 

The French defence minister Florence Parly used the platform to outline the French naval modernisation programmes.
