Description of FELIN (Van Luxemburg version)
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 29 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.
The Weapon System
The FELIN infantryman will use an upgraded FAMAS assault rifle or any other customizeable weapon which has been fitted with image intensifying (I2) sight and a wireless video camera that relay the sight images over wireless local network to either the torso or helmet displays, or directly to transmits them to the platoon commander or team leader. The FAMAS will be equipped with thermal weapon sights. FELIN V1 will field with four types of sights – a reflex day/night sight for the FAMAS, a day/night sight for Minimi, an improved long-range day/night (I2) sight integrated with a laser rangefinder for the PSG-1 sniper rifle and hand held imager, integrated with GPS, LRF and Digital Magnetic Compass (DMC) for commanders.
Electronics Systems
The helmet offers enhanced protection with an outer layer that contains a wide-angle day/night camera improving dismounted soldier's mobility in both day and night combat, relaying images to the helmet ocular, or thorax display unit. The soldier does not use a microphone for voice commands, but instead wears a headband with an osteo-phone. The helmet will also be equipped with passive elements for audio protection. The helmet mounted day/night microcamera will offer 50 degrees field of view. Using the standard headgear, the soldier will be able to detect a human target at 250 meters and identify it at a range of 170 meters.
The wearable computer (PEP), the hub of FELIN system is built around a high speed processor and USB 2.0 high speed, open universal port interfaces which controls the energy and links with different components, such as imaging sensors, weapon, displays, radio etc. The computer is connected to a man-machine interface enabling the soldier to control the system and carry out operations such as firing around a corner or see through obstacles.
The infantryman will use a small personal radio (RIF) transmitting voice and data communication. The RIF will be functional both in mounted or dismounted operations enabling GPS position tracking and information sharing within the squad and platoon. The communication bandwidth provided by the RIF is sufficient to pass operational graphics, imagery, maps and video sequences between team members and back to the higher echelon. They will operate with either all-in-one or sub-network architecture and interface with the fourth generation radio (PR4G) which remains the link between the dismounted platoon and the vehicles. As it is separated from the PEP computer, the radio will operate even in the event of computer breakdown. FELIN platoon will operate five networks: four will operate as RIFintra squad networks, (three infantry and one antitank squads) maintaining continuous and open "conference" between the squad members. Each RIFIntra network will also be separable into two intra-team sub-networks, allowing control of small team operations when required. At the platoon level, RIF Command network will operate, communicating between squad leaders, platoon commander, CO, snipers and the unit's armored personnel carriers.
Each section commander will be equipped with multifunction, un-cooled thermal binoculars used for day/night observation and targeting. The specialized section commanders will get portable information system terminals, (SIT), which are PDA sized digital assistants, used for tactical situation assessment. The SIT will display images, maps with overlaid symbology, and will be able to exchange encrypted messages with other commanders and higher echelons.
Other Equipment of the Van Luxemburgian Soldier

-Matches, tent (1 person)
-4 grenades
-First-Aid kit (Medics have expanded First-Aid kits, aswell as defibrillators, Morfine and such)

For Spec-Ops:
-Same as above, except:
- 2 KG of C-4 explosives
- extra Long-range Radio.
-For all soldiers: Equipment may vary per mission

Standard van Luxemburg army insignia, wore on left Upperarm, above the rank insignia

Country flag, wore on Right upperarm, above the rank insignia.
many Medals and ribbons have been awarded to people, and there are almost too much medals and ribbons to mention them all here.
a short reference to all the ribbons is this picture. many are silent remembrants to the close cooperation with the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, as Van Luxemburg itself was not involved in WW I or II.
