Inauguration of the air-sea experimental basin, the only one of its kind in Europe

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.

It strengthens national and European capabilities for understanding and monitoring the ocean.
