FACTS ABOUT THE ARX®20

It stands out for its ammunition versatility, capable of firing armor-piercing, high-explosive, and tracer rounds, making it adaptable to a wide range of targets, from armored vehicles to aircraft. Its high rate of fire (750 rounds per minute) and accuracy at long range (up to 2,000 meters) make it particularly effective against both moving and stationary targets at mid-range distances.

The ARX®20 features a modular design, allowing for easy integration onto platforms such as armored vehicles or naval ships, providing great adaptability. Its reliability and durability in extreme conditions (heat, cold, dust) make it a top choice for missions in harsh environments. Finally, the simplified maintenance of the ARX®20, thanks to its optimized design, ensures enhanced operational availability and efficient service time management.

The 20mm cannon superior firepower

Provides stand-offs against heavily gunned asymmetric threats (out of effective range of HMG) Immediate stopping power Destroys light armoured vehicles (STANAG 4569 Level 4) Available version: 20M621 (20mmx102 NATO standard) A longer effective range (50% higher than the 12,7 mm)

The 20mm ammunition efficiency

Firing explosive incendiary ammunition with high terminal effect Superior Armour Piercing capacity Easier and faster target neutralisation at longer firing range with reduced ammunition consumption (compared to Heavy Machine Gun)

Complete operability

Well suited for security missions and urban combat Day/night observation over 360° Observation and fire on the move (gyro-stabilised station) Remotely-operated (crew protection) Firing waste disposal for 20mm and 7.62mm ammunition

Easy integration on any carrier
