Abstract
It is planned that expenditures borne in 2019-2025 for the French defence sector will increase to 2% of GDP (Gross Domestic Product) yearly. According to the French Ministry of Defence the Upgrading Program for Armed Forces of the French Republic (Loi de Programmation Militaire - LPM) is aimed not only for strengthening the strategic autonomy of France but to build the inde-pendent European armed forces, as well. Contrary to former years the LPM preserves the schedule of orders and supplies of previ-ous programs, and the decisions arising from them. At the same time the upgrading of pri-oritized domains connected with execution of operational activities is accelerated. They include: the airplane for air tanking and stra-tegic transport (Multi Role Tanker Transport - MRTT, avion militaire de transport et de ravitaillement), patrolling ships, supplying ships, armoured vehicles. Moreover the continuation is allowed at extended volume for supplies under the prioritized programs such as SCORPION IT system for battle field, light reconnaissance airplanes ALSR and drones of different types. At the same time it facilitates the development work carried out together with the European partners, particularly over the combat airplanes, follower of the aircraft carrier or the combat tank of the future [1].
