During Eurosatory 2026 in Paris, the French National Gendarmerie showcased its Centaure armoured vehicle in a realistic hybrid-crisis scenario involving unrest, armed threats, roadblocks, and civilian protection. The live demonstration highlighted how the Gendarmerie prepares to respond to complex security situations that can rapidly escalate from public disorder to armed confrontation.
🎥 In this DefenseWebTV report, Army Recognition Group covers the Centaure’s role within the Mobile Armoured Gendarmerie Group (GBGM), France’s national armoured gendarmerie force.
🛡️ The exercise demonstrated the vehicle’s ability to provide protected mobility, surveillance, personnel transport, route-clearing support, and crisis-response capabilities in unstable environments. Equipped with advanced observation systems and designed to carry up to ten personnel, the Centaure is a key asset for maintaining security during major emergencies.
⚙️ With 90 vehicles deployed across mainland France and overseas territories, the Centaure strengthens the Gendarmerie’s capacity to protect civilians, support security forces, and ensure continuity of state authority during crises.
🇫🇷 The demonstration at Eurosatory 2026 highlighted France’s evolving approach to internal security, combining armoured mobility, advanced surveillance, and graduated response capabilities to address modern hybrid threats.
