0:00
So the rapid fire, which I explained is entering service first in the naval
0:23
The rapid fire, which I explained is entering service first in the naval arena, is also in terms of its mission, its primary anti-air mission, can also be declined in the land sector, where indeed there is an increasing requirement, specifically with regard to drones
0:48
So weighing only three tonnes, it means that the rapid fire can be integrated on more or less any platform from a six by six
1:00
And indeed we have plans underway at the moment to integrate this system on our own Titus vehicle
1:10
The advantages of the 40 C2 system are not purely kept for land systems of course even on naval mounts the idea of having a system which is compact doesn take much volume
1:26
but a lot of terminal efficiency is important. And to that end, with TALIS, Nexter is now in development of the rapid fire system
1:41
We've been contracted by the DGA. Full development is underway, and this system should be entering
1:46
service from about 2023. The system itself is represented by this model on my right. So associated
1:56
with this program is also the development of a specific round of ammunition to ensure the anti-air mission
2:05
So this round of ammunition with pre-fragmented pellets is designed to actually engage and be
2:14
affected against a whole range of air targets from drones to light aircraft, fighter aircraft
2:21
and missiles. What I'd like to do now, FMA, is just talk briefly about the 40mm CTA cannon
2:30
That the latest cannon in our inventory that is just entering service in UK in France and in Belgium What makes this Canon novel is really the case telescope technology
2:51
This enables us to have package high levels of lethality in a very, very small overall envelope
3:02
and so it's perfectly adapted to the medium-weight kind of vehicles. And just as an illustration, this ammunition, the case telescoped, has the same power as this 40mm
3:17
conventional round. The compactness of the 40 CT system, we have here on my left, the case telescoped round
3:29
and it has exactly the same power as the ammunition that I have in my right hand, the 40L70
3:37
So this makes the system very, very compact and operationally, massively interesting
3:45
So Titus is the vehicle behind me, not the first time it's been in Idex
3:50
but since the last edition we're pleased to have had two commercial successes
3:56
So now Titus is absolutely in production. Here the version that we brought is a version which is enabled digitally We have the similar sort of connectivity that have been mentioned with regard to the ability to deploy drones
4:16
We have also the ability to harbour and host ground robots, which enables us to really consider this vehicle as a reconnaissance
4:30
type asset. That is also equipped with a remote weapons station to sort of complete the overall
4:39
operational interest of this particular variant. Or to just mention that our partner
4:46
TATRA, who provide the mobility system for this vehicle. And if there's one thing that makes
4:54
this six by six unique in the marketplace is absolutely the performance of the mobility system
