The Armed Forces of Germany handed over the first sets of individual equipment of a “Gladius” soldier

The company Rheinmetall announced the ceremony of handing over the first sets of individual equipment of the Gladius soldier to the German Armed Forces, also bearing the designation Infanterist der Zukunft - Erweitertes System (IdZ-ES or IdZ-2), held in Ruhpolding.
The first kits were adopted by the 10th tank Bundeswehr divisions.

Rheinmetall developed the Gladius kit using the experience of creating the IdZ (Infanterist der Zukunft) outfit. The first of them were adopted by the Air Force, Ground Forces and the German Navy in 2004 year. In total, more than 3 thousand sets of this version were used for the Armed Forces of Germany, which were used mainly in foreign operations.

The contract for the development of an improved version of IdZ-ES was signed with Rheinmetall in September 2006. The agreement for the supply of the pre-production version of the kit was signed with the company in 2009.

The Gladius apparel purchase program began in 2012. 14 June 2012 The German Federal Office for Defense Technology and Procurement (BWB) has contracted with Rheinmetall to supply the first 30 Gladius kits for 300 troops. The cost of this agreement was about 50 million euros.

The contract included an option for the supply of the German Gadius 60 additional sets, which was implemented in January 2013. The cost of this contract is estimated at 84 million euros (112 million dollars). The implementation of the agreement will allow 60 infantry units to be equipped with a total of 600 troops.

Currently, the Bundeswehr, in accordance with the schedule, accepts 30 Gladius kits ordered in 2012. By June 2013, military personnel equipped with them will be trained in the use of new equipment before being sent to Afghanistan.

Delivery of kits under the option will be made in two batches of 30 kits each. The first tranche will be transferred to the customer in the middle of 2013, the second - by the end of the current year. This will allow the following two contingents of the German Armed Forces to be sent to Afghanistan in advance.

According to the manufacturer, the Gladius outfit surpasses its existing counterparts, including the basic version of the outfit. The use of "Gladius" will increase the effectiveness of the combat use of infantry units, as well as increase the survival rate of servicemen.

Gladius is designed to integrate infantry units numbering up to 10 people and armored vehicles used by the unit (Puma, Wiesel) into a networked command and control system that provides intelligence, data exchange, transfer of control commands and allows for more efficient planning and conduct of combat operations.

Expanded material on the Gladius program is available at news TSAMTO tape and is available only to subscribers.

Yes, they’re rearming me on the drum now, if only they would not look east again through the scope ...

[Sewer]

So they will get it again if they look east. Not for the first time and not the second or even the third time!

[Sleptsoff]

Just keep in mind that you’ll have to fight not only with the Germans but also with NATO and the USA, and we won’t be able to stand against such an alliance. You can swagger and brave as much as you like, but if it weren’t for our nuclear weapons, we would have been kicked ass for a long time.

Slowly, but did: "....In 2005 year, the project of the soldier of the future in Germany was opened under the name (IdZ), which was the base for the systems of the "Soldier of the Future", eventually it was called "Gladius" .... "
(on the picture)

We need to accelerate with the introduction of our systems (such as "Permyachka") into the troops.

Thanks for the link, I'll see. I love reading about this, find out who has what!

Nemchura is just disarming, the last diesel submarines are also selling tanks. Of the six diesel submarines, four remain. And only three battalions joined the tanks.

Gladius - soldier of the future (Infanterist der Zukunft-Erweitertes System) according to Rheinmetall AG

System components are grouped into three main groups:
- uniform, SIBZ and equipment
- weapons, optical and electronic systems
- management, control, communication, computing and information
also an important element of the system is the base compartment vehicle.

system core and helmet equipment - system skeleton. A computer running Linux, controls various instruments and sensors that a soldier carries. Through the helmet-mounted display, their readings are monitored.
The current tactical situation with the exact position of the soldiers becomes known to the commander of the squad and allows him to give accurate current orders. It is also possible to create graphic schemes for them. All possibilities are preserved in night battle conditions, providing unprecedented opportunities for identification and target designation.
An audio system with built-in hearing protection allows direct voice interaction, cuts off harmful noises, allowing the wearer to perceive quiet sounds of the surrounding space.
The squad leader and his deputy are also equipped with a computer and radio equipment for long-distance communications. Communication with the highest echelon of command is carried out through the vehicle compartment.
Gladius, as a result, provides:
- improved situational awareness
- Augmented reality on the helmet screen day and night
- data transmission to command in real time
- a harmonious combination of uniforms, individual armor and equipment in the temperature range from -35 to +45
- optimum ergonomics and high mobility.

the main thing is that the German eagle would not spread its wings again in full!

[uralkos]

Everything is too fragile and too voluminous, how to fight with such a canopy? Moreover, all more or less developed countries are armed with devices detecting snipers or shooters with sights. Those. they will immediately find you with such a Schmeiser and, as a result, destroy them. I am silent about the electromagnetic effect, which instantly makes the whole complex useless. And then this fighter trained to work with such weapons and equipment will be lost on the ground, will not know what to do and where his own ones are located, and where the strangers can’t shoot without a sight, lost without a tablet, and there is no connection. Count the child on the battlefield. Whether we go there, it seems to us that they are not imposing what is necessary.

[vadson]

Yeah, during a big uproar, grumble into the upper atmosphere with a pair of megatons and sapper blades for an edge? do you offer it?

[Massik]

Yeah, you are sitting behind cover, shooting, here you are deaf and dumb with a close tear, and for some reason I’m not sure that this electronic body kit on the helmet and machine will withstand it.

[almost demobil]

In my opinion, if such a fighter drops his rifle, then you can safely throw it away and go into battle with a club ...

[andrejwz]

The first kits were adopted by the 10th Bundeswehr Panzer Division
Those. kits are designed for those in the tank.

The 10th Panzer Division includes 23 brigade of mountain rangers, sort of. So, most likely, for them

[Consmo]

Minimum kg 5-6 batteries on the ridge wears. Video camera + zoom (zoom) + monitor Other small things in electronics. Illumination Ik if 100 meters (eats a lot) Shorter than 1.5-2 amps 12 volts minimum.
And in the winter, (at-5) it is necessary to warm everything + 1 ampere to catch up. + Spare batteries.
Don’t put in mud, hide from the rain, don’t get into the river, don’t beat on the side with your head. Do not forget to rag and wipe the optics.
In real conditions, in the field, this set of week 2 can live. Well, maybe 1 month if it is worn with it and blow off dust particles.
Rather, it’s for special forces, I took the house, rented it, handed it over to the warehouse, and ate barrels in my apartment.
In the field, an option in a separate box is more likely to be suitable.
Per unit. He put the box on the parapet, turned it on, you look at the monitor. to weapons (from the sight you can see the picture) to adapt.
Rouge on the bipod and look, snipers do not bother. Lepota.
I think $ 2000-3000 per set, you can collect it yourself, do some electronics shopping, everything is separately in Moscow, in different areas of electronics.

If such can be attributed l / s 23rd brigade of mountain rangers (included in 10 TD), then, like, yes.

[Consmo]

At least mountain rangers at least mountain sheep. The picture will endure everything.
In the West, without advertising, and the grass does not grow, but here is the weapon.
I won’t be surprised if in the background the king is a cannon, there will be a picture in the Kremlin.
Salvage is steeper than they pay for drugs. And to developers as well. And then, like Hadji Nasredinnna, who in 20 years knew the Koran better, go find out and the money has been spent usefully.
Like what a great kit, so what can’t be taken outside and used only in high-purity rooms overpressure.

Actually, in Germany huntsmen are traditionally distinguished by the highest level of training. I would not advise them to be so dismissive.

Is the grape green?

[JonnyT]

In local conflicts and counter-terrorist operations with an enemy who has a low level of equipment, a necessary and useful thing. But if the enemy is well equipped technically and the conditions of the battles are "hellish" with some products of this set, I would not use it!

[mark1]

The Germans always did good ammunition. but why are the ears open?

Yes, I use kamok in flektarn on a hunt, it works great in our area (south Urals), from the words of my partner I’m not visible until I move ... convenient, practical, strong

[Massik]

There is no doubt a good color, but the fabric is essentially similar to the flora of our Soviet production

[Sewer]

Because they know that they’ll get it on the ears anyway!

[Massik]

but why are the ears open?

with your ears closed, you can listen to the rustle of a sneaking opponent and get a knife in your throat.

[Lopatov]

Getting a splinter in your ear is much more likely.

[Jurkovs]

However, the global trend. A simple soldier is brought to the commandos.

[understudy]

I would prefer to have Germans only as allies. Tolerasts and they, of course, are corrupted, but they are noble fighters.

[Funker1981]

concluded a contract with Rheinmetall for the supply of the first 30 Gladius kits for 300 troops.

The implementation of the agreement will equip 60 infantry units with a total of 600 troops.

No one had a question why 1 set for 10 military personnel?

[Lopatov]

Because one set per branch.

[FIMUK]

Yes, even Potapov under. ed. "Tactical shooting" made a great emphasis on the individual training of Wehrmacht soldiers and their uniforms.
Tolerasts tolerasts But they considered soldiers as people and still consider ... traditions, so to speak.
From our traditions, theft and embezzlement in the army are still clearly visible.

[SHARK]

I think this kit is suitable only for certain special operations, but not as for a prolonged conflict with a state whose technical potential is equal to German. Firstly, the weight of the kit as a whole, then there is optics, and it is neither compatible with drops, nor with moisture, nor with dirt, then service, the more the soldier carries the devices, the higher the chance of one or several standing up, the more if this happened during a collision, then maintainability in frontal conditions, etc.

[Terkin]

We need to integrate with Ukraine as soon as possible, Belarus is already participating in the defense order. By the way, there are a lot of Russian-speaking soldiers and officers in the Bundeswehr, they must be recruited so that the information is drained. The Warrior system should be delivered to the troops already in 2014 if I am not mistaken.

At first glance, not bad. But what is the survivability of this ammunition in a real battle?

[homosum20]

And how do the invaders look at it? Germany is an occupied country.

[zao74]

Ours have no worse, but the soldier first of all wins in spirit, and not in ammunition.

[patsantre]

Ours not only does not have "no worse", ours do not, but what is planned will not be so fancy.

[elmi]

All the same, you can’t rely on war for all sorts of electronic gadgets and lots of optical devices. Electronics has long been removed by electromagnetic bombs, shells and other mustaches. Yes, and problems are solved with optics. There are a lot of mobile portable devices for burning optics and vision.
