The RAPIDFire system developed by the consortium formed by Thales and Nexter has been chosen by the French defence procurement agency (DGA) to equip future French Navy vessels with new artillery. This new system will provide the Navy’s surface vessels with an effective close-in defence capability against modern air and surface threats.

From 30 September to 3 October 2020, the Nexter Group will present its defence solutions on its stand (07, C1) at the 14th HEMUS exhibition in Plovdiv, Bulgaria.

The integrated structure for maintaining land equipment in operational condition (SIMMT) notifies Nexter of a second in-service support (ISS) contract for the CAESAR self-propelled howitzer.

Nexter, Arquus and Thales, members of the temporary grouping of companies EBMR (Engins Blindés Multi-Rôles), were notified on 15 September by the French defense procurement agency (DGA) of the second production phase of the contract to build the GRIFFON and JAGUAR engines for the SCORPION program.

The strategic alliance between KMW and Nexter, completed in 2015, thus presents itself as an ongoing Franco-German success story.

From 25 May to 8 June 2020, Nexter Munitions carried out two major test campaigns of the KATANA ammunition in the S3MA wind tunnel at ONERA's Modane site.
