Upgrading and modernization

Innovative by nature, our expert teams anticipate the ever-changing demands of modern land forces in terms of firepower, mobility and protection requirements. They strive to provide an optimal level of capability and support to existing weapon systems or military vehicles. These support actions require, among other things, a review of equipment engineering. This consists of the modernisation of one or more sub-components of the system, following their obsolescence, their reliability, or to increase their performance:

  • Engineering study
  • Assembly and machining (see production resources)
  • Integration of equipment
  • Change of configuration
  • Functional testing (engines, brakes, etc.)
