The first Griffon and Jaguar armored vehicles were ordered by the DGA
Like the 5 Frigate Intermediate Frigate (FTI) command, the first tranche of the SCORPION armored vehicles (Synergy of contact reinforced by versatility and information), crucial for the future of the Army , Was expected before the end of the quinquennium. And it has just been notified by the Directorate General of Armaments (DGA) to the companies Nexter Systems, Renault Trucks Defense and Thales.
For example, 319 Multi-Role Armored Vehicle ("Griffon") and 20 Jaguar Armored Reconnaissance and Combat Vehicles (EBRC) are ordered, which also includes logistics and training support systems. The amount of the contract has not been specified.
The first Griffon, which will replace the Front Armored Vehicle (VAB), which has been in service for more than 40 years, will be delivered in 2018. The delivery of the first Jaguar to succeed the AMX-10 RC ERC-90 Sagaie and the VAB HOT, is expected in 2020.
"During the development phase, the Griffon-Jaguar load plan represents nearly 1,000 highly skilled direct jobs; There will be more than 1,700 direct jobs in full production, starting in 2020, "the DGA said in a statement.
As a reminder, the Army will eventually have 1,722 heavy VBMR "Griffon" and 558 light VBMR as well as 248 EBRC Jaguar and 200 refurbished Leclerc tanks. The development and production market notification for the light VBMR is expected in 2018.
The Griffon is a 6 × 6 armored vehicle of approximately 25 tons, which, with a remote control tower, will be available in several versions (command, troop transport, observation, medical evacuation, etc.). As for the Jaguar, it will also be a 6 × 6 machine of 25 tons. It will be armed with a telescopic 40 mm cannon (fruit of a Franco-British collaboration) and the medium-range missile (MMP).
Given the ever-increasing costs of maintaining operational conditions (MCO) for vehicles currently in service, General Jean-Pierre Bosser, the Chief of the Land Staff (CEMAT) To accelerate the SCORPION program.
"One can reasonably think that if the manufacturer does not make an effort on the OLS, in other words if the maintenance of old parks does not bring him more than the construction of the new ones, this model with identical financial perimeter is quite conceivable "He said last October, as part of the debates on the initial finance law for 2017.
"We are trying to rehabilitate and even rebuild the VAB, which is going to celebrate its forty years, while the industrialist who maintains it is a major player in SCORPION. Subject to financial sustainability and industrial feasibility, is it better to speed up the delivery of SCORPION and reduce the maintenance of VABs? The answer is obvious, "General Bosser said at a hearing in the Senate a few days later.
For the time being, the objective for the Army is to be able to design a joint battle group (GTIA) equipped with Griffon in 2021 and a joint armored brigade "SCORPION" as early as 2023.
