For the first time since its creation in 2006, the Nexter Group is present at the 19th worldwide exhibition of internal State security being held at the Paris-Nord Villepinte exhibition centre from 17 to 20 November.
TITUS®, Nexter's versatile 6x6 vehicle, is being exhibited on the Group's stand (5P-106) fitted out with its "Internal Security" operations kit. A true modular platform, the TITUS® is suitable for a broad spectrum of missions, from troop transport operations to support in combat and logistical support missions, through security missions, peacekeeping or counter-insurgency. Protected against ballistic and IED attacks, and also against CBRN threats (Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear), while offering exceptional mobility, TITUS® is an undeniable asset for security forces worldwide.
The equipment subsidiaries of Nexter Group are also represented on the stand: Nexter Robotics presents its range of mini-robots; NBC-Sys highlights its expertise in terms of CBRN protection; Nexter Electronics presents its solutions for electronic systems in harsh environments; Optsys demonstrates the effectiveness of its protected vision systems.
Nexter, the leading French land defense company, is dedicated to meeting the needs of French and other land forces internationally. The scope of its business includes the supply of weapon systems and ammunition for air and naval forces. The acquisition of Belgian company Mecar and Italian company Simmel Difesa enabled the establishment, along with Nexter Munitions, of the third European player in the ammunition sector. The group continues its international development policy with 56% of order intake in 2014 destined for the export market.
In France, Nexter is fully committed to meeting the objectives of the SCORPION program, through the renovation of the Leclerc tank and the development of the future GRIFFON and JAGUAR vehicles within the GME (temporary consortium).
Nexter's 2014 turnover amounted to €1.05 billion, of which 14% is allocated to Research and Development activities. The group's range of products consists of ARAVIS®, TITUS® and VBCI armored vehicles, CAESAR®, TRAJAN® and 105LG1 artillery systems, smart ammunition (BONUS), as well as customer service, support and recycling.
