FELIN Infantry Combat Suite
Sagem

FELIN is a modular infantry combat suite, offering efficient ergonomics, autonomy and weight saving. In March 2004 Sagem won the DGA contract to develop and produce up to 30,000 infantry combat suits, to field with all French Army active infantry regiments by 2010 as part of the future air/ground system of systems called BOA. The total contract worth is estimated at 800 million Euro.

FELIN systems will comprise a modified weapon system, integral sensors, wearable computer, communications and display systems, advanced uniform, protection and headgear and team allocated equipment such as ODIN mini-UAV, robotic mule and commander's specific equipment. The weight of the entire FELIN system will be 24 kg, including weaponry, energy, ammunition, water and food.

Clothing
Superior resistance, comfort and stealth will enable the soldier to move faster with extra protection. The uniforms are designed for sufficient ventilation, and are fabricated from fire retardant materials, replacing current fire retardant coveralls used AFV crews. Torso protection will be improved removable modular combat jacket which will have significantly larger protection area, provided by soft, rather than hard ballistic protection plates. It will be supplemented by ceramic inserts for extra protection of critical areas, when required by the mission or threat level. The garment's structure will be modular, allowing the soldier to adjust the weight according to the mission. The suite will also be provided in a special Nuclear, Radiological, Bacteriological and Chemical protection configuration.
