The system is intended to detect any kind of laser threat thanks to its 4 detectors installed on each side of the vehicle with the possibility to deploy a 5th one dedicated to aerial threat. The detectors specify the kind and the direction of the laser threat. 24 launch tubes ensure a full 360 degrees coverage and the GALIX 13 ammunition provides an immediate (1 second) multiband smoke screening protection (broadband) effective during 40 seconds to 2 minutes (according to environmental conditions) and covers. A control box is integrated to the BMS and the system can be used on manual or automatic mode.

LACROIX is the special partner of the Swedish Army, for which it has equipped its Leopard 2 main battle tank version (Stridsvagn 122). The GALIX System  has been in recent past delivered to middle-eastern armies. on to thousands of vehicles.

Talking to Army Recognition, Olivier Priouzeau (business development manager) explained that LACROIX's presence at MSPO 2016 points out the company's willingness to strengthen its relation with Poland, as the company was also present last June at Balt-Military-Expo. LACROIX is open to work closely with Poles authorities in order to enhance their industrial-military cooperation.
