Sagem, in partnership with EADS, has also been selected for the Swiss soldier modernization program IMESS, notably thanks to its capabilities in portable optronics.
This experience enables Sagem to propose proven state-of-the-art soldier modernization systems to armed forces in Europe and around the world, as well as offering innovative dual-use solutions to meet the needs of police, civil security and fire-fighting services

In further detail

FELIN (the French acronym for “infantryman with integrated equipment and links”) incorporates an array of innovations, providing dismounted soldiers with improved capability in terms of protection, observation, lethality, survivability and C4I (command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence)
