    Nexter, a company of KNDS, confirms its position as the French systems integrator of land defense at Eurosatory Eurosatory, Parc des Expositions de Paris-Nord Villepinte - June 8th, 2018 - Nexter will be present, under the KNDS Group banner (KMW + NEXTER Defense Systems) for this year’s edition of the Defense & Security International Exhibition, Eurosatory, which will take place from June 11th to 15th. Nexter demonstrates its status as the leading French systems integrator. Through the creation of KNDS, Nexter, together with its partner KMW, occupy a position as the leader in the Franco-German and European land defense industry. This global meeting is a privileged moment for the company, allowing Nexter to display its entire range. As the main supplier of the French army, Nexter shows its commitment in the SCORPION program. The JAGUAR (EBRC) will be exhibited on the Nexter and Defense Ministry booth for the first time, alongside his partner in the EBMR program, the GRIFFON (VBMR). The renovated LECLERC tank will complete this static display on the Nexter booth. The latest vehicle of the SCORPION range, the Lightweight VBMR, will be presented in a full size holographic animation. Finally, Nexter's SEMBA embedded simulation solution will be shown on the static display of the Ministry of Defense (zone Vulcain). The other systems and products from the Group will also be presented: the VBCI APC [Troop Transport], the CAESAR® family range, with the 6x6 and 8x8 versions and the 105LG1 artillery system. The digital dimension of the Group will be illustrated by an augmented platform, thanks to the Nerva and OPTIO robots.

  • Press Release
    SCORPION: GRIFFON command post is qualified November 23, 2020 On 13 November 2020, the French Delegation for Armaments (DGA) qualified the command post vehicle (EPC) variant of the GRIFFON vehicle. At the same time, the first examples are being submitted for acceptance by the DGA's quality department at the Roanne site. Therefore, the three first GRIFFON EPC have been delivered to the Army technical section (STAT) which will continue the operational evaluation of this equipment with its rapid deployment within the regiments in sight. The GME (temporary grouping of companies) EBMR (Engins Blindés Multi-Rôles) comprised of Nexter, Arquus and Thales is fully mobilized on the production of the first 20 series GRIFFON EPCs to be presented to verification operations by the end of 2020. Ultimately, the SCORPION program calls for the acquisition of 333 units of this variant, half of which will be delivered by 2025. As a reminder, the SCORPION program aims to modernize the Army's combat capabilities and in particular to improve command through new information resources. The GRIFFON EPC can accommodate a pilot and a gunner in the front, and five soldiers in the rear of the vehicle. From an external point of view, the silhouette of the EPC does not differ from the VTT Félin variant (troop transport vehicle). Only the armament changes, with the integration on the roof of a new-generation T2 remotely operated turret armed with a 7.62mm caliber. Inside, on the other hand, the GRIFFON EPC is fully equipped to accommodate a command post: communication means, large screens, a board and a printer.

    Capítulo segundo Análisis de las capacidades terrestres de los países de nuestro entorno José María Martínez Ferrer Resumen Los Ejércitos de Tierra de los cinco países estudiados (Reino Unido, Fran- cia, Alemania, Italia y España) han tenido una evolución paralela desde el final de la Guerra Fría, aunque marcada por el nivel de ambición de las naciones respectivas (aspiraciones globales en el caso de Reino Unido y Francia y, con matices, de potencia media en Alemania, Italia y España). El foco en la defensa territorial, la disuasión y el combate convencional de alta intensidad dio paso a las operaciones expedicionarias y la gestión de crisis, intentando mantener una alta capacidad tecnológica mientras dis- minuía sensiblemente la entidad de la fuerza en el marco de una reducción presupuestaria sostenida. El interés por las fuerzas terrestres repuntó tras el 11-S con el énfasis en las operaciones de contrainsurgencia y estabili- zación en Irak y Afganistán, sin embargo, el ambiguo e insatisfactorio final de ambas campañas inhibió el interés político por las intervenciones te- rrestres, junto al severo impacto de la crisis económica de 2008 en Euro- pa occidental. No obstante, los acontecimientos de 2014 (la intervención rusa en Ucrania y la reactivación del terrorismo yihadista internacional del Dáesh/Estado islámico, junto a la desestabilización crónica de Siria-Irak y Libia), junto a una ligera mejora de las perspectivas económicas de Europa, parecen haber reavivado la relevancia de los Ejércitos de Tierra, cuyas ca- pacidades se han erosionado significativamente en los últimos veinte años. En la actualidad, todas las fuerzas terrestres de los países considerados 59 José María Martínez Ferrer luchan por alcanzar un equilibrio tras años de hacer «más con menos», aunque al menos la perspectiva de ulteriores reducciones de capacidades parece haberse evitado temporalmente.

Given that the requirements of modern armoured vehicles are driven by so many conflict- ing factors, perhaps they are the defence establishment’s own camels. Mobility, protection and firepower as core requirements are by no means confined to Main Battle Tanks, but the emergence of uninformed, or “claimed” national industrial strategic capabilities; the tightening of budgets; the growth of “zero-casualty” politics; and the ability to destroy an enemy at drone’s length all impact global demand for vehicles with the full suite of capa- bilities now available. That “full suite” costs space and manoeuvrability, as crews of 4x4 vehicles in combat have, historically, sometimes found to their detriment.
