EBRC Jaguar
A 6x6 wheeled armored reconnaissance and combat vehicle developed by KNDS France, Arquus and Thales as part of France's SCORPION modernization program, replacing the AMX-10RC, ERC 90 Sagaie and VAB HOT. It pairs a 40 mm cannon with MMP guided missiles in a common CTAS turret shared with the EBRC and future platforms.

Full specifications
Performance
Speed, range, altitude and engagement capability.
- Max speed
Maximum level speed. For aircraft this is at optimal altitude; for ground vehicles, top road speed. Higher means faster response and better kinematic performance.
- 110 km/h Top 7% of IFVs
- Range
Maximum distance: ferry range for aircraft, operational range for vehicles, maximum engagement distance for missiles. Higher means more standoff or persistence.
- 800 km Stronger than 86% of IFVs
Firepower
Armament, payload and guidance.
- Main armament
Primary weapon: main gun, cannon or missile type.
- 40 mm CTC (CTAS) automatic cannon
- Secondary armament
Additional weapons: coaxial MG, remote weapon station, gun pods.
- 7.62 mm machine gun
- Caliber
Bore diameter of the main gun or rifle. Larger throws heavier projectiles; not simply better — ammunition commonality matters.
- 40 mm
Protection
Armor, countermeasures and survivability.
- Armor
Armor technology: composite, modular, ERA-fitted, uranium-ceramic. Exact compositions are classified.
- Modular composite armor
Physical
Dimensions, weight and crew.
- Combat weight
Fully loaded weight. Lighter eases transport and bridging limits; heavier often means more armor.
- 25,000 kg
- Crew
Personnel required to operate. Fewer reduces exposure; autoloaders trade a loader for mechanical complexity.
- 3
Propulsion
Engine, power and fuel.
- Engine
Powerplant model and type.
- Renault DXi 7 diesel
- Engine power
Engine output power. Higher moves more weight faster.
- 490 hp Stronger than 52% of IFVs
- Propulsion type
Turbofan, turboshaft, diesel, gas turbine, solid-fuel rocket, ramjet…
- Diesel
Program
Cost, production scale and operators.
- Operator countries
Number of countries operating the system. More operators means broader support ecosystem.
- 1 Stronger than 23% of IFVs
