Ruag Defence France, a subsidiary of Ruag Simulation & Training and Ruag International, is a major player in the supply of simulation systems and equipment for training land forces. Agueris is the French subsidiary of the John Cockerill Group and specialises in training simulation.

Operation Serket entails developing and supplying the next-generation technical and tactical simulator kits needed for training the armed forces on the new Scorpion programme hardware: EBRC Jaguar and VBMR Griffon combat vehicles, and modernised Leclerc tanks. Military schools and regiments will be provided with flight training and turret training as well as crew and unit training.

For Ruag Defence France and its General Manager Laurent Barraco, “Serket is a key transaction. It strengthens our position in simulated training for the army. We are extremely motivated by the fact that our equipment will enhance the efficiency of France’s operational readiness for force projection with the Scorpion programme.”

“We are proud and delighted to have been chosen for this ambitious programme, which is essential for the training of land forces. The project will also enable Agueris to strengthen its presence in the army simulation market with an even more effective offering” says Yves Jourde, CEO of Agueris.
