DCN becomes DCNS

The French DCNS group unveiled its new corporate identity symbolising the group’s new organisation and ambitions following the integration of Thales’s naval businesses in France (though not its naval equipment businesses). The acronym DCN has been replaced by a brand: DCNS. Although the letters D, C and N no longer have any particular significance, they echo the group’s history – to which employees, customers and partners are deeply attached. The S stands for systems and services – or more precisely our expertise in system prime contracting and services.
