On February 1, 2024, the DGA (French Army Procurement Agency) announced a significant procurement within the Scorpion program. The DGA has ordered 420 new Serval multi-role armored vehicles, for an estimated cost of 500 million euros. By 2030, a total of 978 Servals are expected to be delivered to the French Army, with 60 units supplied in 2022 and 129 in 2023.
The Serval family comprises different variants, each tailored to specific operational requirements. Alongside the standard armored patrol vehicle, there are versions designed for surveillance, intelligence and reconnaissance, and tactical communication. Importantly, a new “electronic warfare” version has been introduced in this order, further diversifying the Serval’s capabilities.
A notable feature of the Serval is its modular design, offering three primary versions – patrol, intelligence and reconnaissance, and communications relay – available in various specialized configurations. These include armored patrol vehicles, medical transports, air defense platforms
