Brigantes and Outdoor Research Tactical Cold Weather Project

Wednesday, January 8th, 2020

Outdoor Research has long been a top tier outdoor brand with strong credentials in the military world. Starting in 2020, Brigantes and Outdoor Research will join forces and begin development of a new cold weather clothing system, to be introduced throughout the UK and EU.

Building on the core elements of the existing clothing range and using key technical fabrics such as GORE-TEX and Primaloft®, the range of products is designed to target the needs of the European militaries within Norway and Northern Europe.

The Colossus Parka and Tradecraft products have already seen use in the very far north of Norway where the exceptional insulation provided by Primaloft®, enabled operating at much lower temperatures with a far lower pack volume. This far exceeded the performance experienced with alternative items and with the evolution of Primaloft® insulation, products in the Tactical Cold Weather Project are expected to get lighter and warmer.

The cold weather system will cover all layers including mid, insulation and shell. This clothing system will be a significant addition to the excellent gloves and mitts already used by many units and will enable a complete solution built from the combined expertise of both North American and European operators.

French Army Announces Adoption of FN SCAR-H PR & Glock 17 Pistol

Tuesday, January 7th, 2020

The French Ministère des Armées has announced the €100 million procurement of 2,620 FNH SCAR-H PR, known within the French Army as the Fusils de précision semi-automatiques (FPSA).

The FPSA system is the product of OIP Sensor Systems and Telefunken-Racoms, associated with weapon producer FN Herstal and the company MEN. In addition to the rifle and associated ammunition (including armor piercing), they will be fielded within suppressors Asia well as I2 and IR optics.

Deliveries begin in 2020 and replace the FR-F2 in service since the 1980s. The new rifle is 7.62mm NATO and intended to engage targets out to 800m and is being fielded as part of an ongoing initiative aimed at increasing the capability of the individual Soldier.

The rifle is intended for use by Snipers who are considered the “Eyes of the section chief”, conducting long-range observation, intelligence and target neutralization missions.

Additionally, they have announced that they have awarded a contract worth € 44 million for a new semi auto pistol to Glock. It is said to be a G17 variant but the Army’s announcement contained no details as to which one. Glock is providing the pistols with some form of “night-time” sights. Sellier and Bellot is providing ammunition and UTM training kits.

By 2022, the contract of 74,596 will be fulfilled. They replace the PA MAC 50 (manufactured by Châtellerault) which date from the 1950s, and the PAMAS G1 (from the arms factories of Saint-Etienne). According to the Ministry of the Army, this is a joint service buy with 80% of weapons for the army, 10% for the air force and 8% for the navy.

These fieldings join the new H&K 416F carbine, new FR uniforms, helmets and body armor.
