Nexter Munitions Reduces Significantly Cost and Time of
R&D Developments with PTC Mathcad
Nexter Group, based in France, applies its expertise in land
defense systems to meet the needs of the French army and
other forces internationally. The company develops weapon
systems and munitions for Army, Air Force, Navy and law
enforcement applications.
“We use PTC Mathcad in all new R&D
projects in aeroballistics to create
concepts and run simulations. We have
seen significant enhancement of our
performances. This is helping us be
more competitive by reducing our
internal research costs by 15%, and
shaved 20% off the product
development time.”

S o l u t i o n
• PTC Mathcad allows quick and
accurate analysis of CFD
computations and of results from
wind tunnel and free-flight test.
• PTC Mathcad offers a very large
range of numerical techniques for
developing forecasting methods
(analytical, semi-empirical and
numerical) in aeroballistics and
more generally in physics.
• Employees can leverage easy-to-
use Design of Experiments in PTC
Mathcad
I n i t i a t i v e s
• Create concept design and
simulations more quickly and
reduce errors for faster time-to-
market.
• Streamline the creation of repetitive
tasks and calculations to save time
during R&D.
• Eliminate post-calculation checks
