A successor of the VBL and heir to the Panhard armored cars, today it is a concept offering avant-garde innovations and achieving unrivaled performance.

Offering collaborative ergonomics and maximal comfort, it will enable innovative energy management and exceptional payload. 

Equipped with powerful and modern firepower, it will be an essential actor of collaborative combat. Moreover, simple vehicle maintenance will make it optimal for foreign operations. 

ARQUUS' Scarabee is to be proposed for the French Armed Forces VBAE program, part of the Scorpion global modernization initiative. The VBAE program, which should be launched by 2025, will replace the VBL light armored vehicle, which entered service in the early 1990s.
