John Cockerill Defense is globally known for its remarkable manned and unmanned turrets armed with guns ranging from 25 up to 120mm, while Arquus is a top-class designer and manufacturer of combat-proven wheeled APCs and combat vehicles. By purchasing Arquus from Volvo Group for EUR 300 million+, John Cockerill becomes able to propose – and later design – an extended range of light wheeled combat vehicles (not tanks) adapted not only to the present markets of both manufacturers but to a wider array of potential customers located in countries where some environments make the use of medium and heavy tanks too limited, if not impossible. Hence the prototype of an Arquus VAB Mk.3 fitted with a Cockerill 1030 (30mm) turret to illustrate the technical cooperation.
