PARIS -- France's Defense Procurement Agency (DGA) took delivery of the first five NERVA-LG extended range reconnaissance micro-robots on December 18, 2019. These robots were transferred to the Army Technical Section (STAT) for further assessment in order to refine the concept of employment before being put into service.
The 2019-2025 Military Programming Law (LPM) provides for the transformation and modernization of land force equipment with the first deliveries of the SCORPION program.
These robots are part of a first global order for 56 micro-robots placed by the DGA with NEXTER and ECA. Other robots will be delivered in 2020: 5 additional NERVA-LGs, ten NERVA-S for small footprint recognition (3 kg), and 36 NERVA-XX / CAMELEON-LG for combat engineers (12 kg).
