The Nexter Group is exhibiting at HEMUS alongside Belgian industrialist John Cockerill Defense (JCD). The two partners share the same stand and are presenting a mock-up of a joint product: Nexter's VBCI 8x8, on which JCD's 30mm 3030 turret is integrated. This project concretizes the cooperation recently initiated with Belgium that could serve as a model in Europe : the Motorized Capability Program (CaMo), notified to Nexter in 2019, plans to supply the Land component of the Belgian army with 382 Griffon multirole armored personnel carriers (MPCVs) and 60 Jaguar armored reconnaissance and combat vehicles (EBRCs). The intergovernmental agreement signed between France and Belgium seals a strategic alliance for the two armies, but also a long-term partnership for manufacturers in both countries.

We worked with this as well, trust me, this does not work as well as advertised and especially these NNs give high rate of false returns.

Yeah, i understand that. Still, noticeable step in direction of automatisation of enemy targets spotting.

DGA put out a website on Scorpion, as well as all the subsytems and technology in it and it's replacement (Titan).

If you click on one of the title on top of the video it'll make a list of the projects and systems related to it appear.

Clicking on one of them will make more informations appear below the main video.

The video can't be embed, and I couldn't find it on youtube but made some screenshot:

 

MAC and VBAE:

 

Spoiler

MAC seems to be an engineering vehicle, not much informations others than it has to be aerotransportable.

The VBAE (behind) is the vehicle which will replace the VBL

Some impressions of the MGCS according to the French vision:

 

Spoiler

Three different versions:

 

  • Canon which shows a large caliber coax which seem to have en independent elevation (so back to the AMX-30)
  • C² : Command and Control which seem to have a 40mm
  • Missile: Same autocanon as a secondary than the canon version, 6 missiles ready and no RCWS

Not sure on coax, is it HMG or autocannon?

Not sure either, the RCWS should be a 7,62 and the coax looks a bit big for an HMG.

Given that the French have history with coax autocannon I guess it could be possible.
