Vehicle protection for armies and police forces

GALIX ensures a broad defensive capability to significantly enhance vehicle survivability of any type: armoured or not, light to heavy serving in combat, reconnaissance, support or logistics. Jointly developed by LACROIX DEFENCE & SECURITY and Nexter Munitions, GALIX is a high performance and instantaneous reaction defensive aid system. It can be easily adapted to any new generation or retrofit existing vehicles and easily linked to threat detection systems. Actually, GALIX has been qualified and integrated into many platforms worldwide.

GALIX’s high adaptability allows for the continuous development of advanced protection rounds to meet new threat configurations and to satisfy changing training requirements. Ammunitions are available for combat, peacekeeping, law enforcement and training missions.

Infantry, area and asset protection systems

With solutions such as DAV, SPHINX, COUGAR 6 or SyProZ, we ensure permanent or temporary protection of strategic locations and troop encampments. The aim of these systems is to dissuade or to contain a threat within a safe area for the protected target until the appropriate reaction can take place. We offer our expertise to define and tailor the system to requirements and to optimize integration into detection systems.
