Philippe Burtin, CEO of Nexter, today signeda contract in the presence of the French and Gabonese Ministers of Defence, Jean-Yves Le Drian and Ernest Mpouho Epigat, to supply the Gabonese Republic with 12 highly protected 4x4 vehicles ARAVIS.
These 12 ARAVIS will be equipped with Nexter remotely controlled 20mm turret ARX20 and RPG protections PG-Guard, but also with Nexter Robotics reconnaissance NERVA LG unmanned ground vehicles (UGV). These vehicles will join a battalion which will be deployed in Central African Republic within the MINUSCA under the United Nations authority.
Earlier this month, Nexter and Kraus Maffei-Wegmann (KMW) have reiterated that they are to conclude their previously announced union (the formation of an alliance under a single joint-venture company) by April 2015.
In late September, the French Procurement Agency (DGA) qualified the new version of Nexter‘s VBCI armored infantry combat vehicle.
