Small drones will soon lose combat advantage, French Army chief says

The general said he doesn’t consider that the war in Ukraine calls into question the French choice of a maneuvering army built around medium armor, with a focus on speed and mobility. The vehicles that the Army is introducing as part of the Scorpion program -- the Griffon, Serval and Jaguar – can be equipped with either active or passive protection, even if a strong emphasis of mine protection means they’re “quite massive.”

The French Army is receiving around 120 Griffons and 120 Servals every year as part of Scorpion, as well as more than 20 Jaguars. The vehicles are equipped with “extremely powerful” information systems, and a vehicle such as the Griffon may contain more lines of code than a Rafale fighter jet, according to Schill.

Vehicles developed before the Scorpion program, such as the Leclerc main battle tank, are being reconfigured to become part of the collaborative combat system, which for example allows a target detected by one vehicle to be attacked by another. Scorpion was “extremely ambitious,” works, and has met expectations, according to Schill.

“Everything we had planned is perfectly in place, but it’s just a question of cost effectiveness on certain capabilities,” the general said.Something not considered five years ago is the rapid development of microprocessors, which means the gathered data can now be analyzed within the vehicle rather than externally. In combination with on-board artificial intelligence, that will allow for capabilities such as immediate threat detection, including of drones.

Europe’s armor industry must merge, Arquus boss says

Belgium’s John Cockerill in January agreed to buy Arquus, and that deal is expected to go ahead next month, Levacher told Defense News. The combined company targets defense revenue of €1 billion ($1.1 billion) by 2026, an amount that the Arquus CEO says is enough to invest around €50 million to €100 million a year in “new capacities, new technologies and so on.”

Das französische Verteidigungsministerium hat die Einführung einer neuen Variante des VBMR-L SERVAL angekündigt, des SERVAL LAD (lutte anti-drones), der die auf Drohnenabwehr spezialisierten VAB (mit Kongsberg Protector) ergänzen soll:

Außerdem wird eine Begleit-FlA auf Basis des SERVAL eingeführt (Das war ursprünglich für 2021 geplant.):

Au terme de la LPM, les armées disposeront par exemple de VL MICA, de SAMP-T NG, de SERVAL Mistral (Défense sol air terrestre d’accompagnement) et de 8 tourelles Mistral (très courte portée naval).

Thales announces order for new SYRACUSE IV satcom stations to equip French Army Serval armoured vehicles

• The French defence procurement agency (DGA) has awarded Thales the Neptune contract to provide thirty dual-band X/Ka satellite communication stations for the French Army.

• The stations will act as on-the-pause (OTP) tactical communication nodes for the high-throughput satellite communications services required by the information and communication systems deployed by the French Army.

• The new SYRACUSE IV satcom stations will equip the Serval light multi-role armoured vehicles being developed for the Scorpion programme.

The Neptune contract is the latest development in the SYRACUSE IV ground segment programme, for which Thales is prime contractor. It follows an earlier order for the deployment of satcom stations on French Navy surface vessels and submarines and for the development and production of fixed and mobile stations for land and air forces. These include Mercure on-the-move (OTM) stations for the French Army's Griffon and Serval vehicles and airborne stations for the French Air Force's wide-body aircraft.

Developed for the French defence procurement agency (DGA), the first version of the SYRACUSE IV ground segment entered service at the end of 2023. It will provide the French forces with a joint communications capability relying on secure, high-data-rate satcom services with robust protection from jamming, interference, cyberattacks and other threats to guarantee end-to-end connectivity and tri-service interoperability.
