On December 14, 2021, Hornet and Safran Electronics & Defense signed a partnership agreement at Arquus' headquarters in Satory, France, to promote the Hornet series of remotely operated turrets.
Developed for the Scorpion program, these turrets combine Arquus' know-how in designing and integrating systems for armoured vehicles with Safran's expertise in inertia, optronics, and electronics.
Joint marketing strategy
Building on this cooperation, Hornet and Safran Electronics & Defense have joined forces to promote the Hornet brand and its products worldwide. The new partnership establishes a joint marketing strategy to take advantage of the two companies' respective commercial presences worldwide.

Hornet’s director, Mr. Jean BOŸ, welcomed, "This agreement combines the best of our know-how to position Hornet at the heart of discussions on the protection and equipment of land vehicles. An exciting new strategic partnership is targeting the conquest of new international markets."
Hornet Business Unit
The Hornet Business Unit was officially launched in early 2021. It is dedicated to promoting and marketing the Hornet range, which consists of three remotely operated turrets, the Hornet, the Hornet Lite, and the Hornet S.
Hornet remote-controlled weapon stations, which have been fitted to the French Army's Griffon vehicles since 2019, are currently being deployed on all new combat vehicles of the French Army, starting with the Jaguar and the Serval. The Hornet RCWS is thus already at the heart of the French Army's operational deployments. They have been deployed in overseas operations for the first time in 2021.
