INFANTERIST DER ZUKUNFT
_The IdZ or "Infanterist der Zukunft" (Infrantryman of the future) is a modular, integrated fighting system designed to provide significant lethality, survivability, mobility, battle command, and training to the German infantryman. It is being developed by EADS Defence Electronics.
The IdZ system covers self-protection against small caliber arms and Nuclear, Biological and Chemical agents, communications, navigation/ orientation and weaponry. The system utilizes a wide range of new technologies to achieve the network centric warfare compatibility.
Close allies and friendly nations can request information about the entire package of the IdZ program or about elements that are part of this world leading program. Note that while this program is currently already being expanded to comprehend an even more optimized future soldier, the program itself would still be a considerable step forward for the far majority of combat troops.
