Nexter is showcasing its growing partnership with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) at the ongoing show. On display for the first time at a foreign exhibition is the Jaguar armoured vehicle.
This modern weapon system has been in service in the French forces since 2021 and is manufactured by Nexter, Arquus and Thales. The Jaguar combines the latest generation of optronic capabilities with multiple and scalable firepower, using the latest 40mm telescoped ammunition and anti-tank missiles perfectly suited for high-intensity combat.
With its 40 CTA gun, Akeron MP missiles and remotely controlled weapon system, the Jaguar considerably increases the firepower of the French and Belgian light cavalry units.
It is being displayed on the Resource Industries stand, alongside a Titus ARX30 specifically configured for counter-UAV warfare.
The Titus multirole armoured vehicle is available in multiple variants with a high level of protection and mobility. It is the subject of discussions between Nexter and the UAE military ecosystem.
Resource Industries is an emerging key player in the UAE defence ecosystem. The two companies are currently exploring industrial partnership opportunities to develop “made in UAE” solutions for the UAE armed forces, benefiting from Nexter’s technological know-how.
Nexter has been working with the UAE armed forces since 30 years when the Leclerc contract came into effect.
It is now targeting new cooperation projects to develop new activities locally and is working in close partnership with the UAE’s private and public defence ecosystem, to strengthen and develop industrial cooperation for systems, munitions and services.
To this end, Nexter is pursuing the development of a wholly owned subsidiary – Nexter Emarat LTD. – which will allow the localisation of engineering and new product development activities.
Nexter is showcasing an actual UAE version of the Leclerc tank and is exchanging views with the UAE to continue supporting the Leclerc for the next decades. It is being displayed at the show, with a new HE multimode ammunition. Also on display, is a VBCI MkI. This version is in service with the French army and proven in combat on various battlefields.
This infantry fighting vehicle, equipped with a 25mm gun, has demonstrated exceptional capabilities in terms of mobility, protection and firepower. The CAESAR self-propelled howitzer is also on display. The artillery gun is the reference in 155mm combat proven artillery, associated with its ammunition produced by Nexter Arrowtech.
The RAPIDFire, made by Nexter and Thales, is on display in naval and land versions. The first example of this new turret will enter service this year on a French Navy ship.
