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 US Marine Corps hat bei OSTI (Optical Systems Technology Inc.) nach Tests durch USSOCOM und MARSOC
800 MAGNUM Universal Night Sights (MUNS) bestellt. Der Vertrag ermöglicht eine Erweiterung auf eine Gesamtliefermenge von 4.700 Stück und einem max. Kostenvolumen von 39.9 Mio. $. MUNS ist leichter und leistungsstärker als das eingeführte AN/PVS-22. Bild: MUNS OSTI Wins Special Orders for Clip-On Night Sights OSTI has a number of products in this area, and the US Marines certainly take their weapon sights seriously. A direct enquiry revealed more about the specific sight selected, the quantities involved, and the customer - MARSOC.... Equiries to OSTI revealed that its MAGNUM Universal Night Sight™ (MUNS) won the Marine Corps award against two other finalists. USSOCOM purchased and tested OSTI's initial run of 8 MUNS units, and MARSOC has also tested and fielded OSTI's AN/PVS-22 Universal Night Sight™ and MUNS. The initial order is for about 800 MUNS units and is in fact destined for MARSOC, the new US Marines special operations unit being stood up as part of US Special Operations Command (SOCOM). The contract provides for a maximum of 4,700 units, and contains options that would bring the estimated maximum value of the contract to $39.9 million if exercised. The MAGNUM Universal Night Sight™ gathers about twice as much light as the PVS-22, and can be used to engage targets at about 1.5 times the range. Under starlight-only conditions, vehicle detection range is about 3150 meters and detection of a human is listed as 1,350 meters. These ranges will lengthen if moonlight is added. Weight is 3.2 pounds, and the unit takes 2 AA batteries with a battery life of over 60 hours in favorable conditions of 25C/80F temperatures. Paul Maxin, President of Optical Systems Technology, stated "Various [US Department of Defense] organizations have procured and fielded over 3,000 AN/PVS-22 Universal Night Sights™, and MAGNUM Universal Night Sights™" to date. Work on this contract will be performed in Freeport, PA and is expected to be complete by December 2007 (December 2011 with options). This contract was competitively procured via publication on the Navy Electronic Commerce On-line website, with 4 offers received (M67854-07-D-1058).
