On June 24, 2026, ENSTA inaugurated a new air-sea experimental basin on its Brest campus: an exceptional facility for ocean research that combines a test basin with a drone flight enclosure. Its vast dimensions and permeability to satellite waves make it possible to simulate real-world at-sea testing conditions in a laboratory setting. It strengthens national and European capabilities for understanding and monitoring the ocean.
