Unveiled at Eurosatory 2008, the ARAVIS® is the most protected multirole vehicle in its category. One of the major advantages of this new 12 tonne 4x4 vehicle is its protection, a main concern of armed forces, highlighted by experience acquired in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Current generation of protected carriers in service can no longer cope with the increasing threat posed by improved IED, mines and more powerful kinetic projectiles. Nexter Systems have developed SAFEPRO® armour technology that can defeat combined effects (blast and fragments) attacks generated both by the most powerful IED, mines and AP carbide HMG Bullets. SAFEPRO® is the core solution for the new family of ARAVIS® vehicles.
