The Cockerill i-X (interceptor and X for “modular-multi-weapons system) is an armoured vehicle manufactured by the Belgian company John Cockerill. The vehicle is 4x4 and has stealth capability[1].
The Cockerill i-X is a land stealth ground vehicle that can use various weapon platforms ranging from 25/30mm autocannons to missiles etc. The vehicle has a modified IR signature. It is also rigged up with onboard AI, smart helmet issued to driver/crew to operate in conjunction with cameras/night vision/thermal imagers, LWS and various detection/recon/tracking devices.[2]
The i-X was publicly unveiled at the inaugural World Defense Show in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in March 2022.[3][4]
On 21 February 2023 at the International Defence Exhibition in Abu Dhabi, Cockerill and Nimr announced a teaming agreement to collaborate on bringing the i-X to market.[5] A teaming agreement is an interim agreement between partners which commits them to their roles during the development and marketing stage of a project. It would generally be transformed into a formal sub-contracting agreement once an order for delivery has been placed.[6]
In May 2023 and in the second half of the year, the Technical Section of the French Army conducted evaluations of the Cockerill i-X in France[7], that the company qualified as positive[8]. At the end of 2023, it was reported that the interceptor vehicle was presented to the Belgian army at the John Cockerill Group headquarters in Belgium.[9]
