Rheinmetall Supplies Light Artillery Cannon to U.S. Army – Contract Worth over Two Million US Dollars
Wednesday, May 25th, 2022Rheinmetall makes a decisive contribution to the U.S. Army’s light artillery cannon project. Rheinmetall’s subsidiary American Rheinmetall Munition (Stafford, VA) has been awarded a $2.5M contract from the U.S. Army for the delivery of a shorter and lighter artillery weapon system in support of the National Defense Strategy.
A lightweight artillery cannon would enhance the mobility, maneuverability and lethality of Army artillery systems and provide the long-range firing performance capability the Army is seeking for its entire howitzer fleet. It will further inform the Army’s ongoing capability assessment for a next-generation armament.
COL Lance Green, the Military Deputy of the Combat Capabilities Development Command-Armament Center (DEVCOM AC) stated, “This DEVCOM AC project alongside numerous other active Science and Technology efforts could provide our warfighters a distinct advantage in this increasingly complex security environment.”
“We are proud to have the opportunity to support the Army in its efforts to develop next-generation long-range precision fires technologies and particularly to prototype what could be game-changing advanced, lightweight howitzer technologies,” said American Rheinmetall Munition CEO John Somich. “Rheinmetall is a global leader in artillery technologies including munitions, propellant and cannons and we will bring to bear our tremendous expertise, technology and full commitment to the Army in this effort.”
American Rheinmetall Munition is currently expanding its role as a major supplier of innovative, next-generation weapons and ammunition in the U.S., drawing on a global portfolio of world class munitions and armaments offered by Rheinmetall and its affiliates. The company has been producing and supplying high-performance practice and direct fire service ammunition for American military and law enforcement customers for several decades. This new prototype artillery solution contract represents another opportunity to demonstrate American Rheinmetall Munition’s commitment to serve as a vital partner to the Army and to deliver next-generation technology.
American Rheinmetall Munition is part of the American Rheinmetall family of U.S. defense companies which include American Rheinmetall Systems in Biddeford, ME, American Rheinmetall Vehicles in Sterling Heights, MI, and U.S. corporate parent American Rheinmetall Defense in Reston, VA.

FN Unveils MultiCam FN SCAR Rifles at the 151st NRA Annual Meeting in Houston, Texas
Wednesday, May 25th, 2022McLean, VA – May 25, 2022) FN America, LLC is set to unveil custom MultiCam® patterned FN SCAR® NRCH rifles at the 151st NRA Annual Meeting held at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas, May 26 – 29, 2022. The pattern, Crye Precision’s original MultiCam®, has been applied hydrographically to the receiver and trigger module frame of the SCAR 16S, 17S and 20S commercial SCAR variants.
The legendary FN SCAR® series, having roots in its battle-proven lineage, now features dual, non-reciprocating charging handles that enable users to shoot from any position or use any grip style. The benchmark of reliability and versatility with its three variants, the FN SCAR rifles are capable of consistent accuracy from their cold hammer-forged and chrome-lined barrels and one-piece forged aluminum receiver. They deliver precision fire with aid from their fully adjustable buttstock, low-flash gas regulator and fast-handling characteristics uncommon in similar rifle platforms.
The MultiCam® pattern is arguably one of the most popular camouflage patterns currently used by conventional and special operations forces worldwide. According to Crye Precision, the MultiCam® pattern was developed to effectively limit the visual and near-IR signature of a person operating across a very wide range of physical environments and seasons. After many successful evaluations, after being proven in combat, and after becoming the officially issued pattern of the U.S. Army for all Afghanistan operations in 2010, MultiCam® is the proven multi-environment concealment solution.

Lindnerhof-Taktik Launches LT562 Curv Belt; Light Weight Permits Attaching Gear that Otherwise Would Need to Be Left Off
Monday, May 23rd, 2022LENGGRIES, GERMANY (20 May 2022)—A highly versatile, exceptionally comfortable war belt made from a unique combination of materials that give it remarkable strength and lightness is now available for purchase, tactical gear manufacturer Lindnerhof-Taktik GmbH today announced.
The Lindnerhof-Taktik LT562 Curv® Belt weighs so little that wearers can attach tactical gear they once would have chosen—or more likely been forced—to leave off, the company said.
“If you as an operator put on a belt that weighs what war belts typically weigh, you’re not going to want to make it heavier still by attaching a lot of gear,” said Lindnerhof-Taktik CEO Jakob Kolbeck. “To keep that typical belt from becoming excessively weighty and uncomfortable, you’ll decide to not take with you some of the gear you’d like to have along for the mission and some of the gear you really do need to have along.
“Our new Curv® Belt range solves this problem. It’s ultralight, so you can attach more gear without becoming weighed down to the extent that your performance suffers.
“But even though it’s super light, our Curv® Belt is also very durable. It fully meets tactical-use requirements for high impact-strength and—even when subjected to very cold temperatures— resistance to fracturing.”
Kolbeck said all of this is possible thanks to the Curv® Belt’s unique combination of materials. Utilized in that pairing are a polypropylene base topped with a 500-denier layer of specially coated CORDURA® fabric to produce a flexible yet sufficiently stiff construct that needs no additional reinforcing.
“We call it Curv® material,” Kolbeck said. “The inspiration for it came from the automotive industry and their classically high-performance textiles used for making seat belts and other motor-vehicle components.”
Kolbeck said that Lindnerhof-Taktik also drew on customer feedback to guide the outside-the- textile-material-box thinking employed by its design-and-engineering team.
“We always listen very carefully to our customers in order to identify needs common to all— we’ve found that to be an approach which can lead to the development of great new products, such as the Curv® Belt,” he explained.
According to Kolbeck, the LT562 Curv® Belt is laser-cut, which permits attachment of pouches and gear directly to its supplied MOLLE slots. As well, the belt is anatomically adjusted to fit better and be more comfortable.
“A war belt that doesn’t fit properly will interfere with the wearer’s performance,” he contended. “Nor is it advantageous if the wearer can’t get the belt off fast. Those are issues our new Curv® Belt range successfully addresses.”
Kolbeck indicated that the Curv® Belt can be easily adapted to other belts made by Lindnerhof- Taktik, such as the LT465 belt.
“We’ve incorporated along the inner side of the Curv® Belt a band of Velcro®-fastened hooks for affixing it over another belt,” he said.
The Curv® Belt is available in an assortment of colours: Stone Gray, Black, German 5fb Flecktarn camouflage, Coyote, and MultiCam®. As for sizes, it’s offered in small, medium, large, and extra-large.
“Our goal in creating the Curv® Belt was to maintain the key features of a classic war belt but, by the same token, go way beyond the limits of what once was possible for war belts made from conventional materials,” Kolbeck said. “I feel very confident that we have fully achieved that goal.”
