LACROIX at IDEX 2025

LACROIX is pleased to welcome you to Abu Dhabi for the 31st edition of the International Defense Exhibition (IDEX) from February 17 to 21, 2025.

LACROIX will be presenting its modular S-KAPS "Soft-kill Autoprotection System", now capable of countering top-attack and UAV threats.

S-KAPS Top Attack: the 360° solution for vehicle self-protection

Connected to the vehicle's vetronics, the system integrates Laser Alert detection, acoustic detection, situation analysis, instant protective reaction and maneuver recommendation functions. It is based both on end-effectors developed in cooperation with Nexter, and on an integrated suite of 360° multi-sensors supplied by Bertin technologies.

S-KAPS significantly enhances vehicle survivability by offering multi-band masking solutions (visible, infrared and millimetric), disengagement solutions and modern decoy concepts when used under recommended operating conditions.

The S-KAPS system, with its GALIX ammunition (installed on over 15,000 platforms, both armored and unarmored, in France and abroad), is an adaptable, incremental and upgradeable system. 

Latest generation of spectral decoys for protection of all types of aircraft

LACROIX designs state-of-the-art decoys (infrared and electromagnetic radar) which are used on numerous fighter and transport aircraft, as well as helicopters for training and operations. 

In the Middle East, LACROIX deploys its range of airborne countermeasures to equip Rafale, Mirage 2000, F16, C-130, CARACAL, NH90, Apache, etc.

LACROIX's qualified airborne countermeasures are a combat-proven self-protection solution, used by most armed forces in the region, to counter the new and growing threats posed by missiles (including the latest generation of "Manpads").

In keeping with its long-standing commitment to the Emirati Armed Forces, our Air countermeasure program team will be keen to promote our spectral decoys during IDEX 2025, particularly in the context of the recent delivery, in January 2025, of the first of the 80 Rafales acquired by the United Arab Emirates.
