Description:
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.
On July 1, 2004, the German government through the Federal Office of Defense Technology and Procurement ordered 15 IdZ integrated front-line warrior systems worth €10 million ($12.5 million) for German forces deployed within the ISAF in Afghanistan.
On December 3, 2004, EADS Defense Electronics received a €70 million ($88 million) contract to provide the Bundeswehr with 196 IdZ, Infantryman of the Future, individual soldier equipment. These basic systems are envisaged for use by around 2,000 German soldiers from all services.
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 comptability.
