• With its high speed (250 km/h, or more than 4 km per minute), the Tiger has a range that can vary from 2h30 to 4h00, depending on the chosen configuration. It is armed with a 30mm cannon (2,500m range), 68mm rockets (4,000m), Mistral missiles (6,000m) or Hellfire missiles (8,000m collaborative firing).

• Designed to equip the French Army’s airmobile formations, the Tiger is also capable, in its support-protection version, of engaging and destroying helicopters, slow-moving aircraft and drones, day and night and in poor visibility.

• The Tiger helicopter is an example of Franco-German cooperation; developed jointly, it is a proven success both in training and in operations. This new standard, included in the 2019-2025 military programming law, includes the replacement of the avionics and the modernisation of the weapons system with the integration of a new air-to-ground missile, the AKERON LP, CONTACT and a new air-to-air missile, the MISTRAL 3 (which will replace the MISTRAL 2).

• The Tiger will have new networked combat capabilities thanks to its connection with the SCORPION system and its direct communication with UAVs. It will also be able to benefit from the European Galileo satellite positioning system, complementing the American GPS. The Tiger is expected to remain in operational service beyond 2050.
