NEXTER
AMX Leclerc
The LECLERC tank enables armored units to fight, defeat, and survive in the face of an outnumbering enemy. Its ability to fire while moving, high destruction rate and exceptional mobility enables it to impose its rhythm on the enemy. It engages the enemy at a speed on 50 km/h on all-terrains. It fights day and night, under all weather conditions and in contaminated zones. Its all-purpose modular armoring, "hunter killer" function, stealth, agility and engagement distance guarantee it an unequaled survival capacity.
Leclerc EPG
The EPG armoured engineering vehicle is similar to
the ARV and has the same hydraulic arm and winches. The former can, however, be
fitted with specialist engineer equipment such as a bucket, auger, grapple,
hammer and hook. The front-mounted dozer blade can be used for a variety of
roles. The vehicle can also carry fascines to lay in ditches and other
obstacles.
Mounted on the roof is a remote-controlled cupola with a 142 mm demolition gun and a 12.7 mm machine gun which is provided with 100 rounds of ready use ammunition.
Optional equipment includes explosive reactive armour, remote-control capability, thermal viewing device for driver and the FINDERS (Fast Information Navigation DEcision and Reporting System).

threat. Its basic armor provides all-round protection against 14.5-mm
armor-piercing rounds, while titanium armor plates can be fitted for increased
protection. Interior of the VBCI is fitted with spall liners. NBC protection
and fire suppression systems are fitted as standard.
The VBCI infantry fighting vehicle is fitted with DRAGAR one-man turret. It is armed with a fully-stabilized, dual fed 25-mm cannon and coaxial 7.62-mm machine gun. The cannon is compatible with standard NATO ammunition. It fires single round, three round burst, ten rounds burst or in fully automatic mode.
The VBCI is fully compatible with emerging digitalized battlefield. The VBCI is fitted with combat identification system and has secure data and voice communications.

Nexter Aravis
The Aravis MRAP was developed by Nexter Systems. The
Aravis is based on a Mercedes-Benz Unimog chassis. It is referred as one of the
most protected vehicles in it's weight class.
The Aravis has a patented Safepro modular add-on armor. It is claimed that vehicle withstands hits from 14.5-mm armor-piercing rounds. Vehicle has a V-shaped hull and withstands 10 kg TNT blasts. It is claimed that crew and troops will survive once the vehicle is hit by an 50 kg IED blast at 5 meters.
The Aravis is fitted with remotely controlled weapon station, armed with 12.7-mm machine gun. Other weapons up to 20-mm caliber can be fitted depending on customer requirement. The Aravis has a crew of two. Depending on the version it accommodates 6 or 7 fully-equipped troops. Occupants enter and leave the vehicle via side doors.

Nexter TITUS
The TITUS (Tactical Infantry Transport and Utility
System) mine resistant ambush protected vehicle is developed by Nexter. The
TITUS combines features of both MRAP and armored personnel carrier. This
low-cost vehicle is a great proposal for countries, that can not afford both
dedicated APCs and MRAP vehicles.
TITUS has a welded steel hull. A baseline version provides all-round protection against 7.62-mm armor-piercing rounds. Up to 6 t of add-on patented SAFEPRO armor can be fitted for a higher level of protection. With add-on armor fitted the TITUS provides all-round protection from 14.5-mm rounds. Bar armor can be fitted for protection against RPG rounds, as well as optional PG Guard protection. The PG Guard is capable of withstanding 2-4 RPG rounds per square meter.
TITUS is fitted with Nexter ARX20 remotely controlled module, armed with 20-mm cannon and coaxial 7.62-mm machine gun. The vehicle has a crew of three including commander, driver and gunner, and can carry an additional 10 fully-equipped troops.

CAESAR
The French
Caesar truck-mounted gun-howitzer, developed by GIAT, is a successor to
self-moving artillery guns, fitted with auxiliary power unit.
The Caesar is completed with 155-mm / L52 gun-howitzer, fitted with semi-automatic loading system. It fires all standard NATO 155-mm ammunition, including ordinary and rocket-assisted HE-FRAG rounds, cargo rounds with anti-tank or fragmentation bomblets, smoke and illumination projectiles. It is also capable of firing Bonus precision-guided anti-tank munitions.
The Caesar artillery system has an armored cab which protects the crew members during traveling. It accommodates six crew members and provides protection against small arms fire and artillery shell splinters. A 12.7-mm machine gun can be mounted on top of the roof for self-protection.
The Caesar can be set into an out of action in less than one minute. Brief redeployment time allows to avoid counter-battery fire.

105 LG1
The LG1 is a modern 105 mm/30-calibre towed howitzer
designed and produced by Nexter. The LG1 howitzer features both low weight and
a high level of accuracy over long distances. The gun was specifically designed
for use by rapid deployment forces with attributes such as ruggedness, ease of
operation and reduced weight. It can fire all NATO standard 105 mm ammunition
up to a range of 18.5 and 19.5 kilometres (11.5 and 12.1 mi) using HE-ER G2 and
US M913 rounds.
TRF1
TRF1 is an
accurate and powerful 155mm/52 caliber towed gun system able to support any
mechanized and armored unit.
It integrates the firepower of the CAESAR® 155mm/52 caliber artillery into a modern towed gun system fitted with firing control system, automated implementation such as in/out of action, laying, loading. TRF1 reaches a high level of accuracy by integrating a muzzle velocity radar (MVR), an inertial navigation unit (INU), and a ballistic calculator.
TRF1 has been designed to reach a high efficiency in all fire action such as direct support fire, in-depth action fire, counter-battery fire.
Its 155mm/52 caliber artillery is fully compatible with all 155mm 39/52 caliber NATO standard ammunition (Joint Ballistic MoU), and can fire ERFB shells and smart ammunition (BONUS, SPACIDO).

AMX-10RCR
Upgrade of existing system
Nexter
Systems offers a complete set of upgrade kits aimed at improving the
operational and maintainability capabilities of AMX-10RCs currently in service
with the French Army. When fitted with such kits, the AMX-10RC turns into a
reconnaissance and anti-tank vehicle, the tactical capabilities of which keep
up with those of the most modern armoured vehicles falling within its weight
range, able to fit into the system of the future forces. These modular upgrade
kits, that can be integrated into a simple 3rd echelon-like infrastructure,
enable customers to upgrade their equipment according to their specific
requirements.
