The aim of the LARINAE project is to test a medium-range remotely operated munition for the French army, capable of dealing with armoured targets. Nexter, a company of KNDS, and its partners are proposing a solution comprising a UAV system manufactured by EOS Technologie, a core-generating charge (CGN) produced by Nexter, and a GPS-denied navigation system from TRAAK that makes it immune to jamming.
Nexter and its partners are offering a product that is currently absent from the French military arsenal. This remotely-operated ammunition will have a range of at least 80km and an autonomy of 3 hours.
Innovative in its core-generating charge technology, the remotely-operated munition will be capable of thwarting the active defences of armoured vehicles before piercing their armour. Its reusability will also enable it to carry out intelligence missions thanks to an optronic ball which is able to detect a vehicle 15 km away by day and 3 km away by night. It will have navigation capabilities in a contested environment (jamming) and can also be reused when it has not attacked a target. Thanks to a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) system and a high-performance solution for arming and disarming the warhead, the operator will be able to recover it easily and safely.
