The bâtiments ravitailleurs de forces, or BRF, are a class of future fleet tankers that are to replace the Durance-class units in French Navy service. Until January 2019, the programme was known as Flotte logistique. First ship of the class completed the first stage of her sea trials in January 2023 and was formally delivered to the French Navy in July to continue her sea trials. The ships are part of the Vulcano-class logistic support ship programme.
