From 28 February to 1 March 2023, the security tradeshow EnforceTac opens its doors in Nürnberg. As a powerful partner of the armed forces and police, Rheinmetall AG will be on hand, presenting users, procurement officials and other specialists with part of the tactical product portfolio of its Vehicle Systems, Weapon and Ammunition and Electronic Solutions divisions.
Among the Rheinmetall highlights at this year’s 10th anniversary edition of EnforceTac:
Caracal: In cooperation with Mercedes-Benz and ACS Armoured Car Systems, Rheinmetall offers a family of versatile, powerful, fast and compact 4×4 vehicles for lightweight formations such as airmobile and special forces units.
Survivor R: The superbly protected, multifaceted Survivor R is a high-mobility vehicle specially designed for security forces. Based on a 4×4 MAN chassis, it was developed in cooperation with special vehicle maker Achleitner. Germany’s Federal Police and the public order units of several German states have already opted for the latest generation of this special purpose vehicle.
Squad Support Weapon SSW 40: This is the world’s first automatic, magazine-fed, shoulder-fired 40mm grenade launcher. In terms of weight, size and handling, the SSW40 is similar to an assault rifle.
Special pyrotechnic products: Rheinmetall offers an extensive range of special pyrotechnic products, including the 9-Bang flash-bang grenade and the cuboid Spectac stun grenade, both with bottom top venting technology for maximum handling safety.
Paramir: Light and compact, this hand-fired signal system is available as an illumination rocket in various colours; as an infrared illumination rocket; as a smoke signal rocket and as a NBC alarming signal rocket. The rockets reach an altitude of around 100 metres, with an illumination period of approximately 15 seconds.
Laser light modules and fire control systems: In recent years, the Group’s family of high-performance LLM-VarioRay laser light modules has established itself in the armed forces of many nations, including those of Germany, the United Kingdom and Switzerland. Moreover, various special operations forces have introduced the laser light package consisting of the VTAL laser light module and the separate TL-MissionLight weapon torch. Among other things, the FCS-TacRay Ballistic sniper fire control system features a laser rangefinder with a 2,500-metre range and a ballistic computer for 32 different types of ammunition.
We look forward to seeing you at EnforceTac 2023! Our vehicles are on display at Stand 8-523, with other command & control and operational equipment on view at Stand 10-527.

We ran across RavenBelt during the recent Enforce Tac show in Germany. It’s a new Austrian company which created a product out of need.
The founder wasn’t satisfied with existing duty belts so came up with a new belt design, made from an elastomer. It’s easy to set up with equipment and then adjust for size once you’re wearing it. It’s also stiff under load. Additionally, they’ve also developed keepers to prevent pouches from slipping out of place.
Turns out, we were getting a preview of the RavenBelt which launches in May 1st.
Granted, I saw a lot of cool things at Enforce Tac and IWA, but this is one of the most surprising, and most welcome. In what is an obvious evolution of Carinthia’s successful line of outdoor and tactical clothing.
May I introduce Carinthia Combat Clothing. Carinthia told me that the uniforms were developed in cooperation with special operations forces and have already seen operational use. The line consists of four pieces:
Carinthia Combat Shirt -> CCS
Carinthia Combat Trousers -> CCT
Carinthia Combat Jacket-> CCJ
Carinthia Combat Hood-> CCH
Manufactured from fast drying material, they will also be offered in flame retardant and/or equipped with vector protection. There are slots for both elbow and knee pads which will accept many currently available as well Carinthia’s new pads developed in conjunction with Komperdell.
They will be offered in three colors: MultiCam Pattern, 5 color Flecktarn, and Olive Green.
Coming autumn/winter 2022 from www.carinthia.eu.
Schuberth gave us a closer look at the B.Ko.S. concept (Ballistisches Kopfschutz System/ ballistic head protection system) helmet they unveiled at Enforce Tac.
Developed in anticipation of an upcoming Bundeswehr tender for a new helmet, it incorporates several new features not found on the currently issued helmet including side rails, clips to attach accessories and a rear rail for battery packs.
