The French military will place an order for 12 Dassault Falcon 2000 Albatros aircraft, according to Florence Parly, the country's minister for the armed forces. They will be equipped for maritime surveillance duties in answer to the AVSIMAR (maritime surveillance and intervention aircraft) requirement. The notification was announced during a visit by Parly to the Dassault plant at Seclin on November 19.
