The procurement office selected an off-the-shelf autonomous vehicle, the eRider, which Safran had developed for the armed forces\u2019 needs. The eRider will be the largest of the three robots in the study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The study will look into robots for missions including reconnaissance, inspection inside a building and carrying equipment, with a focus on autonomous movement over obstacles and various surface conditions, the DGA said. The aim is to identify the key technology for use in land robots, pursue maturity of that technology and lead to a concept of operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/industry\/techwatch\/2018\/01\/23\/france-armed-forces-chief-florence-parly-defense-will-make-room-for-future-tech\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"237\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-858262150.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">France armed forces chief: Defense will make room for future tech<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">France is determined to shake up its arms procurement office in a bid to speed up its buying of weapons and pursue new technology.

Safran will draw on its work with industrial partners on the Patroller tactical UAV and cooperate with small and medium-sized enterprises including Effidence, Technical Studio, Sominex, Kompai and 4D Virtualiz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Safran will also work with robotics labs including the French National Center for Scientific Research, Pascal Institute, IRSTEA, Mines de Paris engineering school and Loria, the company said.
