FÉLIN
With
deliveries of the FÉLIN begining in 2010, The French future soldier system is
one of the few integrated systems currently in active service. The system provide
each soldier with improved close-combat capability in terms of lethality,
survivability, mobility and C4I (command, control, computers, communications
and information).
The system can be delivered in five configurations for different levels of command. The system among things includes portable computer, a voice and data radio, new combat clothing with body armour and a new ballistic helmet.
Sagem's JIM MR multifunction binoculars are also included in the system. JIM MR combines uncooled thermal imaging channel, eyesafe laser rangefinder and a digital magnetic compass. While the infantry weapons also fitted with new sights for day and night operation and improved target acquisition.
The new lightweight helmet provides ballistic protection and is fitted with Sagem’s monocular oculaire de vision déportée (OVD) optronic system with light intensifying camera. The helmet has two LED displays, each 3cm².
French companies involved in the development of this highly advanced soldier system can assist foreign armed forces to develop comparable systems, based upon FÉLIN. While closely aligned countries could also opt for acquiring the FÉLIN system itself.
