vehicles, from 4x4 vehicles to main battle
tanks. Tomorrow, Nexter is positioning
itself as a system integrator for new anti-
drone systems.

Nexter also develops weapon systems
such as the ARX 30 and RAPIDFire,
equipped with medium-calibre guns. They
offer surface-to-surface and surface-to-air
capabilities to counter new threats such
as drones, missiles or so-called “prowler”
munitions at short and medium range.
These weapon systems have the advantage
of being able to deal with a large number of
simultaneous threats such as a swarm of
drones, to adapt the munition quickly to the
target against combined threats, to benefit
from excellent reactivity at short range and,
above all, to have a very low cost to counter
low-cost targets.
