According to foreign media reports, the French army has recently taken "scorpion plan" and "Satan plan" as the traction to vigorously promote modernization and transformation. Against the backdrop of continued tension in the region, France's relevant actions may have a relatively negative impact on the regional security situation. It is reported that one of the most important tasks of the French army's modernization drive is the upgrading of weapons and equipment. At present, the French army is upgrading the army's weapons and equipment and improving its command and communication capabilities with the "scorpion plan" as the traction, so as to effectively carry out joint operations. Recently, the French Ministry of defense purchased 88 "Jaguar" armored reconnaissance vehicles and 302 "Griffin" multi-purpose armored vehicles. By 2025, the number of "Jaguar" and "Griffin" combat vehicles of the French army will reach 150 and 909 respectively. In addition, the French army is purchasing 200 upgraded "Le Claire" main battle tanks. According to the French media, the tank is equipped with a long-range weapon system, sensors, grenade launchers and a computer system, with good mobility and strong protection capability. The French army also plans to purchase 2038 serval combat vehicles, which weigh 17 tons and can be equipped with weapons of different calibre according to operational needs, mainly for patrol, communication and intelligence collection. According to the scorpion plan, the French army will further strengthen the integration of ground vehicles with robots and UAV Systems, so as to better grasp the battlefield situation during the operation. Accelerating future war planning while accelerating the upgrading of equipment, the French army is also looking forward to future war scenarios on the basis of the "Satan plan". In terms of military theory research, the French army believes that in the next 10 to 20 years, military confrontation among countries around the world may further intensify, and relevant countries will continue to improve their combat capabilities in land, sea, air, space, network and electromagnetic fields. Arnold Gurong, director of the planning department of the French army headquarters, said that the French army is studying how to build a more resilient combat force. According to the research report issued by the French military, the French army will continue to increase investment in network and other operational fields, and accelerate the construction of operational forces that can be "rapidly deployed". In terms of cutting-edge technology development, the French military high-level pointed out that manned / unmanned coordination is the core of the future helicopter project of the French army. The combination of manned and unmanned equipment will open up a "new capability field" for the next generation helicopter project. France's next-generation land aviation combat capability aims to achieve two major objectives: first, it can quickly find targets, make decisions and take actions; second, it can conduct penetration operations in a controversial environment and efficiently complete tasks. In addition, France is accelerating the development of unmanned combat forces to enhance its adaptability to future wars. For example, the ave UAV independently developed by France can take off and land on an ordinary runway, or take off by ejection, and can also use parachutes or parachutes for emergency recovery. According to the French military, this type of UAV is mainly used in future wars and can play an important role in European or African battlefields. The bionic UAV project announced by the French Ministry of defense aims to develop a flapping wing UAV that can glide, fly and hover by flapping its wings, and has the characteristics of both fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft. Meanwhile, France is also developing laser anti UAV
