History

Developed by a consortium of Nexter, Arquus, and Thales under the Scorpion program initiated in 2014, the vehicle was designed to modernize the French Army's cavalry units with advanced network-centric warfare capabilities. The first production units were officially delivered to the French Army in February 2022, marking the beginning of its integration into active service. While it has not yet seen active combat, the Jaguar is currently being fielded by elite units like the 1st Foreign Cavalry Regiment for training and operational readiness. Alongside France's planned acquisition of over 300 units by 2030, Belgium has also ordered the vehicle to achieve interoperability with French forces, securing its role as a cornerstone of modern European armored reconnaissance.
