		The group was founded in 1973 by combining the industrial assets of the technical direction of Army weapons of the French Ministry of Defense.
		The company is operated at a loss, and a 2001 report by the Cour des Comptes described the situation as critical.

		According to Giat, a unit of eight Caesar self-propelled artillery vehicles can dispense, in less than one minute, more than one ton of projectiles, 1,500 bomblets or 48 smart anti-tank munitions on targets at ranges up to 24 miles.
		Giat has discussed with the U.S. Army the possibility of using Caesar in the so-called brigade combat teams, six or seven of which will be stood up during the next decade.
		Another hurdle confronting Giat is the perception that Caesar would be competing against an ongoing artillery program—the Army and Marine Corps lightweight 155 mm towed howitzer.

	A new start for the Defence industry
		As far as land armaments are concerned, the Chairman of GIAT Industries has just carried out, at the Government's request, a full examination of the company's financial situation.
		The rationalisation of industrial means, purchasing and sub-contracting policies and commercial strategies of the two French aeronautical manufacturers is essential in conferring the French aeronautic industry with a sufficient technological, industrial and commercial strength in the face of the power and the aggressiveness of American competitors.
		The Chairman of GIAT Industries will expose this plan to the Company's Central Works Committee at the end of March 1996 and will then expose it in detail to the Company's Board of Directors one month later.

	GIAT DEFENSE WORKS UNDER ASSAULT
		Loppion has said that GIAT was paying the price of large and sustained cuts in defense spending around the world and the strengthening of international competition.
		GIAT has a long history which lasted up until 1989 of being a state industry charged with producing war material for the land based armies.
		In addition, for strategic reasons, the GIAT plants were often placed in areas where employment was low and these defense plants are now the prime economic engines of their regions.

	GIAT Industries restructuring plan challenged
		GIAT Industries, the armaments manufacturer, is a state-owned company which began operating under private law in 1990, at the same time as the Warsaw Pact was being dissolved.
		GIAT Industries’ turnover fell from EUR 1,098 million in 1998 to EUR 777 million in 2002.
		With GIAT Industries having fallen from second to fifth place internationally in the production of land armaments, the planned restructuring should enable the company to consider joint ventures and/or mergers in Europe.

	Cold war dinosaurs or high-tech arms providers? The West European land armaments industry at the turn of the millenium.
		In contrast to the mostly privately held defense industry in Britain, Germany, and Sweden, the French defense industry was mainly state-owned.
		GIAT’s future is now regarded as being dependent on winning a major MBT export contract as the French government is increasingly unwilling to continue covering the losses of the company.
		Second, the land armaments industry remains fragmented within national borders (despite the recent developments in Germany and Britain) whereas national consolidation was an important intermediate stage before major cross-border mergers took place in the aerospace industry.

	Comment Giat Industries aménage une gestion des connaissances très "stratégique"
		Rien de surprenant donc à ce qu'en France, Giat Industries se soit engagée dans l'harmonisation de ses processus de gestion des connaissances pour améliorer son efficacité commerciale.
		Différent d'autres industriels comme Valeo (lire retour d'expérience du 18 février 2002) dont le but essentiel a été de consolider et d'unifier sa mémoire d'entreprise, l'enjeu de la gestion des connaissances chez Giat Industries est donc aujourd'hui tourné principalement vers l'intelligence économique, c'est à dire la maîtrise la plus parfaite possible de son environnement extérieur.
		Giat Industries, dont le plus connu des produits phares n'est autre que le char Leclerc, emploie près de 7 000 personnes dont environ 1 700 ingénieurs et cadres.
