Da es bei den Infanteristen bisher keinen Sammelthread für News gab, und sich diese in den anderen Foren ganz gut bewährt haben, bin ich mal so vermessen und mache einen auf.
Zum Einstieg: Die Norweger testen derzeit drei Kandidaten als potentielle Nachfolger des AG3 - SIG SG551 SB, C8 IUR und Heckler&Koch G36 KV3: QUOTE Choosing the right rifle The Norwegian Defence’s Logistics Organisation is now testing the candidates for the Armed Forces new choice of attack rifle. The new rifle will be replacing the traditional AG-3, and representatives from all the branches of the Armed Forces are testing the different candidates. The three candidates are the C8IUR from Canada, the G 36 KV3 from Germany and the SG 551SB from Switzerland. Norwegisches MoD, 24.

Das USMC bekommt neue MTV's. Die Marines werden die neuen Westen ab Februar 2007 tragen, es handelt sich hier um eine Art Übergangslösung für 3-4 Jahre. Sie ist ein Pfund schwerer als die zu ersetzende Interceptor, bietet allerdings besseren Tragekomfort und Seitenschutz.
Hier die Interceptor: Bild: http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/images/GEAR_Interceptor_Body_Armor_lg.jpg (Bild automatisch entfernt) QUOTE I Want My MTV - Marines Getting New Body Armor Back on September 25, 2006, DefenseLINK announced that Protective Products International in Sunrise, FL had won a $33.6 million firm-fixed-price contract for 60,000 Modular Tactical Vests (MTVs) with associated training. The MTV is the US Marines' latest body armor vest, replacing the Interceptor OTV. Now Marine Times reports that Commandant Gen. Mike Hagee gave the new vest final approval on October 19. Marines will start wearing it in February 2007, though it's reportedly only an interim solution over the next 3-4 years. It is a pound heavier than the Interceptor, but reportedly distributes its weight better and adds improved side protection. It uses the same ceramic armor inserts as the Interceptor, and key features include: New MTV features include: * A Rifle bolster to allow the shooter to seat his weapon into his shoulder for proper firing. * Increased coverage in the lower back and kidney area, side torso and shoulder. * Integrated side armor plate pouches. Some troops have complained that the side plates create serious movement and mobility problems, especially when exiting vehicles, and can therefore be more of a survival hindrance than help. * Wiring channels for communications gear. * An improved closure strap system, and also quick-release capability for fast exits * Compatibility with MOLLE-type load-bearing systems that allows Marines to easily attach other load-bearing items such as packs, drinking systems, ammo pouches, etc. Following negative after-action reviews, the Marines no longer use the MOLLE system and adopted the ILBE system instead. Work will be performed in Sunrise, FL (60%); Fenton, MO (25%); and, Lares, Puerto Rico (15%), and is expected to be complete December 2007. Contract funds in the amount of $33.6 million will expire at the end of the current fiscal year. This award involved a limited competition with 3 proposals solicited (Marine Times reports that Paraclete Armor & Equipment Inc., of Saint Pauls, NC, and Crye Precision LLC, of Brooklyn, NY also bid on the contract). The Marine Corps Systems Command in Quantico, VA issued the contract. (M67854-06-C-3044) DID Gruß, Major Steiner Der Beitrag wurde von Major_Steiner bearbeitet: 20.
