French leader in land defense and a partner of the three armed forces, Nexter offers modular, reliable and innovative solutions that meet the operational requirements of its customers. The group has a range going from armored vehicles to artillery systems and also masters strategic subsets, such as weapon systems and ammunition or embedded electronic systems.

Nexter is fully mobilized to meet the challenges of the SCORPION program, through the development of the new VBMR-GRIFFON (in production), EBRC-JAGUAR, Lightweight VBMR - SERVAL armored vehicles, the renovation of LECLERC MBTs and the maturation of technologies of the future. The trust granted to Nexter by the Belgian government under the CaMo program (order of 382 VBMR-GRIFFON and 60 EBRC-JAGUAR) confirms the excellence of the SCORPION systems. CaMo is also an opportunity to salute the relevance of the Government Partnership Agreement between France and Belgium, which comes into force just two years after the launch of the acquisition procedure, announced during the previous edition of SIAE.

Nexter is also a reference in the field of artillery and ammunition: the group has a wide range of ammunition ranging from 20mm to 155mm shells and is currently preparing the delivery of 19 CAESAR® 8x8 to the Danish army.

Nexter is also a key player in the aeronautical and air domains. Its airborne guns equip the Rafale multirole fighter aircraft, the Tigre attack helicopter, as well as other aircraft serving in French and foreign armies. The group also produces all types of air ammunition and provides the slappers (opto-pyrotechnic detonators) for Ariane rockets, which allow the release of different the rocket’s different tiers.

Products presented at SIAE 2019

The Nexter group exhibits on its stand its range of aeronautical products. The 20M621 20mm gun is thus available in a turret mount with the THL20, in a retractable door mounting for helicopters with the SH20 and in a pod mount for helicopters and light aircraft with the NC621. On the 30mm range, the Tigre attack helicopter’s THL30 turret, and the 30M791 gun (mounted on the Rafale) are on display. Nexter presents a selection of its range of medium caliber ammunition adapted to air forces’ needs. With these different solutions, Nexter brings the superior firepower of 20mm guns to platforms previously limited to smaller calibres, as well as the unmatched efficiency of its 30mm cannons and ammunition.

Finally, Nexter is displaying on its stand models of its range of land vehicles such as ERBC-JAGUAR, VBMR-Griffon, LECLERC XLR and Lightweight VBMR - SERVAL.
