Ongoing JAGUAR and GRIFFON deliveries and qualifications

As defined in the 2019-2025 military programming law, Nexter, a KNDS company, Thales and Arquus fulfilled all GRIFFON and JAGUAR DGA orders scheduled for 2023. These 2019 beginning supplies expanded the global handover to 575 GRIFFON and 60 JAGUAR.

In 2023, the EBMR company grouping introduced the first “Sanitaire” (SAN) GRIFFONs for the French Army Health Service (Système de santé des armées, SSA). This model, which was qualified in 2022, will be delivered to the Forces in early 2024.

Furthermore, on June 16, 2023, the DGA probated a VOA («Véhicule d’Observation d’Artillerie ») version of the GRIFFON and the 3rd Marine Artillery Regiment (3e RAMa) welcomed its first examples. The GRIFFON VOA replaces the VAB OBS. Originally designed to be integrated into the ATLAS artillery fire management chain, this vehicle presents a retractable optronic observation mast equipped with innovative technology availing surveillance, telemetry, pointing, and laser designation to target and guide artillery fire. In addition, it allows MURIN tactical surveillance radar incorporation.
