As the prime contractor of the Infanterist der Zukunft program on behalf of the Bundeswehr, Rheinmetall Electronics has placed a major order with Safran Electronics & Defense, building on the long-standing and successful collaboration between the two companies. Under this contract, Safran Electronics & Defense will deliver a significant volume of optronic systems, including over a thousand MOSKITO systems and several hundred SHARPCROW systems to equip the Bundeswehr\u2019s medium and heavy infantry forces.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

?As part of this program, Safran Electronics & Defense has been selected to provide advanced portable observation systems that enable German infantry forces to better understand their environment, detect and identify targets, and quickly share critical information on the battlefield.<\/p>\n

The MOSKITO is a compact, lightweight multifunction observation system combining day and night vision, laser range-finding and precise target geolocation. It enables rapid detection, identification and localization of targets across a wide range of operational environments.<\/p>\n

The SHARPCROW is a handheld electro-optical observation system integrating thermal imaging, low-light imaging, a direct optical day channel, target location capabilities and digital reporting functions. Together, these features provide enhanced situational awareness and support faster, more informed tactical decision-making.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis new order underscores the Bundeswehr\u2019s confidence in our technologies and in our ability to equip the modern soldier with the advanced capabilities required for today\u2019s land operations. We are proud that these systems will be manufactured in Germany by Safran Electronics & Defense, further strengthening our partnership with the Bundeswehr and the German defense industry.\u201d<\/em> said Marzell Schiller, CEO of Safran Electronics & Defense Germany.<\/p>\n

The Bundeswehr is accelerating the modernization of its dismounted forces through additional procurements under the proven Infanterist der Zukunft (\u201cInfantryman of the Future\u201d) soldier system. As the German Armed Forces\u2019 flagship infantry modernization program, Infanterist der Zukunft aims to enhance soldiers\u2019 effectiveness, survivability, command and control, mobility and endurance by equipping them with advanced, digitally connected capabilities.<\/p>\n
