With the "System infantry" Soldiers, robots, sensors and weapons are crosslinked to a system that feeds on the replacement of the soldier on the front

The German rural group and automotive supplier Rheinmetall tries with his slogan, in which one might do not miss the points that would suggest emphasizing, to make both sectors to a brand: "Mobility. Security. passion". This should then be that the Group has a passion for technologies of mobility and safety. In this case, similar to that, which always turbed to defend the rusting is insulinized, security on the site of the buyer with lethal extermination for the other side.
At least as far as the weapon techniques are concerned, the time is favorable. The world is in a rusting spiral, the West sees itself mainly in the conflict with Russia and in the fight against Islamist extremists in the Middle East, in Afghanistan and in North Africa. Pressing the Trump government increase rust budgets. Of that, Rheinmetall, which in recent years alone by the Bundeswehr received in the high amount of 1.4 billion euros – received – for ammunition, for the technical rejection of the protective puman Puma, for the modernization of the boxer vehicle vehicles, for over 2200 new trucks as well as for technical infantry systems. Last week, two states of SkyGuard 3 air defense systems ordered for 220 million euros.
370 million is the Bundeswehr the delivery of the soldier system "Infantryist of the future – extended system" from Rheinmetall value. 2012 were of the "modular" Fighting system that the floor on the ground "adequate" Soldiers in the "Networked surgery" integrated, 90 systems for teams were purchased from 10 soldiers. Since 2013, these systems have been used in Afghanistan, which should allow the soldiers to better discover and identify opponents and attack them with their own or networked weapons.
Now the Bundeswehr ordered 68 systems, which are designed for access (around 40 soldiers). Rheinmetall speaks of one "holistic system approach", the "the infantry or. Panzerbenadierzug with its vehicles and the base stations built therein – into crosslinked surgery" integrated. Central should the helmet system with an OLED display and the core computer equipped with a battery, which is carried on the chuck and "Electronic jerking" is called. All devices and sensors, processing, passing and presenting the data as well as the operator interface and communication are controlled. For example, the Cyborg soldier can see important data on the situation, the position of the other soldiers and the order, but would like to greatly monitor the position of the other soldiers and the order.
Go to the system also – modular, so everybly seems to be everything to be – one "Modular conservation", a ballistic underdraft vest with integrated airshirt and one "Modular wearing equipment that absorbs ammunition, combat materials, electronic jerking and additional equipment". To give a blob in communicating, the hand weapons are equipped with push-to-talk buttons to spark with a liter weapon at the same time.
But there are other systems modular, understands, integrated. Rheinmetall put the new middle of the month "System infantry" before, above all, serves to integrate unmanned systems into the Networked Combat Association. It should be suitable for difficult countries or in the city war, in the center is the leadership and soldier system "Infantryist of the Future – Advanced System (IDZ-ES)".
The natural high modular assault rifle and the 40mm grenade launcher RS40 are included. For this for the boxer vehicle of the Turm Lance manned with two soldiers with a machine cannon and other sensors, and the unmanned and who had thought it, modular ground vehicle Multi Mission Unmanned Ground Vehicle (MM UGV). Efficiently take over tasks of the soldier, not only for monitoring and declaration, but also as weapons equipped combat robots, which can be operated remotely, but also autonomously. You can self-consumed other systems for "Match-made, flexible, holistic and future-proof solutions" include.
