Press Release, Amsterdam, 12 March 2026: KNDS is exhibiting the Serval and Jaguar vehicles at the Brussels European Defence Exhibition & Conference (BEDEX) 2026, as well as the Griffon MEPAC (Mortier Embarqué Pour l’Appui au Contact) artillery system.
Developed as part of the SCORPION programme, these systems embody the technological and industrial excellence of KNDS and its partners Arquus Thales and Texelis. They play a central role in the CaMo programme, a pillar of the extensive military-industrial cooperation between France and Belgium since 2014. These systems are the cornerstones of interoperability between forces and contribute directly to European rearmament efforts.
The VBMR-L Serval, recently ordered by the Belgian Land Forces, will also be in the spotlight. The Belgian company MOL CY, which is also responsible for assembling the Griffon, will also be in charge of assembling the Serval, illustrating the CaMo programme’s commitment to sustainably promoting the local industrial sector.
Medium Calibre, Loitering Munitions, Artillery, C-UAS: KNDS showcases its expertise as an ammunition systems integrator. KNDS is also showcasing its extensive expertise in ammunition from 20mm to 155mm at BEDEX.
KNDS is exhibiting its entire range of 155mm shells, including the BONUS, a combat-proven anti-tank munition with autonomous target acquisition, and the LU family of 155mm shells. Also on display is the 40 CTA ammunition range, used in particular by the Jaguar, a system ordered by Belgium and Luxembourg. Drawing on its expertise in weapon-ammunition systems, KNDS supplies the Belgian land forces with 40mm ammunition and 155mm shells. This industrial expertise is based on enhanced production capabilities, consolidated by the inauguration in November 2025 of KNDS Belgium’s Large Calibre Machining and Banding Unit (UCGC) in Petit-Roeulz lez Nivelles.
Similarly, drawing on its solid expertise in ammunition and mission solutions design, KNDS also promotes its 3D protection ecosystem (C-UAS / VSHORAD / Ground-to-Ground), based on an open and modular architecture that integrates seamlessly with all regimental coordination systems and takes into account existing effectors. This ecosystem is dedicated to protecting convoys, high-value targets, and areas against threats arising from new operational realities, from detection to neutralisation. This ecosystem notably includes the Serval LAD and its ARX30 cannon, which uses proven airburst technology on its 30×113 ammunition. RAPIDFire Land adds to the interception capabilities of this ecosystem, alongside the Serval DSA (MISTRAL missiles).
Finally, KNDS is exhibiting two loitering munitions from its Mataris range, the MX-10 Damocles and the MV-25 Oskar. The MX-10 Damocles, the first loitering munition used by French forces, is equipped with a warhead designed by KNDS capable of neutralising infantry groups and lightly armoured vehicles. Developed in collaboration with DELAIR, the MX-10 Damocles and MV-25 Oskar demonstrate KNDS’s ability to adapt its offering to operational needs in record time.
