Onyx Industries provided this photo of the NAUT mounted to a Vision 60.

Germany’s Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support (BAAINBw) has contracted with Rheinmetall for the conversion of modular medical equipment (MSE).
Worth a figure in the mid-single-digit million-euro range, the order will be complete by December 2023.
MSE containers comprise a family of modular ambulance facilities manufactured by Zeppelin Mobile Systeme. In the 1970s, various user states procured rescue station, rescue centre light, rescue centre and emergency hospital variants, which are now undergoing a comprehensive overhaul.
MSE rescue centres and field hospitals are used in Bundeswehr areas of operation. Individual systems are designed for special tasks such as the generation and supply of medical gases in the equipment supply container, or GVC. In deployed operations, the technical and medical equipment of the GVC supports the adjacent operating theatre. The container systems are CSC-classified, stackable and thus suitable for transport on container ships. The systems and their equipment are adapted in terms of scope and functionality.
Responsible for mobile deployable mission solutions, Rheinmetall Project Solutions GmbH has been pooling resources and capabilities for mission support since 2019. Rheinmetall AG created the company to handle services and projects for mission support. It provides customers with long-term mission support via specific services.
Dr. Deniz Akitürk, managing director of Rheinmetall Project Solutions GmbH, is proud of the new project: “Rheinmetall Project Solutions GmbH, in association with Rheinmetall Zeppelin Mobile Systeme, delivers comprehensive mission support. In addition to the construction and operation of forward operating bases, we also bundle protection and surveillance capabilities as well as medical expertise for our customers. As a system provider, we are pleased to be supporting the regeneration of medical equipment. In future, we could be modernizing a further 350 accommodation containers.”
The order underlines Rheinmetall’s high level of competence in mission support for the German Bundeswehr in the medical domain.
Although the R-Series was soft launched during last year’s SOFIC, it’s big debut is at this year’s SHOT Show.
Using the new JPC-R as its core, the R-Series is a modular and scalable system which is highly configurable. They’ve also worked to balance weight and durability, particularly for the loads carried by the SOF personnel they worked with the develop the system. The other thing the R-Series does is accommodate a wide variety of plates and sizes with one vest.
Another feature of the JPC-R is that the front panel remains a standard size and the rear panel comes in different sizing options to accommodate the wearer’s girth.
This new front panel standardizes the amount of load carriage real estate across your force, regardless of individual stature. This means that smaller troops will be able to carry the same gear as those with wider chests.
Seen above from left to right are the Assault, Jump, and Recce configurations. Below are the various components used to configure different loads.
