The system is clouded in major controversy due to its origin from a blacklisted company and unfair play in the acquisition with Lockheed Martin claiming that they never even made a price estimate on M142 HIMARS despite DALO claiming they did and dropping them as an option[131] and Hanwha Group claiming they weren't even asked regarding the K239 Chunmoo. The controversy has led to the defense minister Jacob Elleman being moved to the finance ministry and the department chief being fired. Later evidence has proved that Elbit and DALO had an ongoing lawsuit regarding the 2015 cancelation that was thrown out after Elbit received the new order, the investigation is ongoing.

Currently, the main piece is a major controversy due to its origin from a blacklisted company (Even being dropped in 2015 in favor of the Caesar platform despite being better in tests) and alleged unfair play in the acquisition with Nexter Systems claiming they were never contacted[147] and Hanwha Group claiming that the delivery timeline for the K9 Thunder was never discussed despite DALO claiming it would take too long.[148] The controversy has led to the defense minister Jacob Elleman being moved to the finance ministry [149] and the department chief being fired.[150] Later evidence has proved that Elbit and DALO had an ongoing lawsuit regarding the 2015 cancelation that was thrown out after Elbit received the new order, the investigation is ongoing.[151]

Udvalgte funktioner samt bestemte operative og arbejdsmiljørelaterede forhold gør det nødvendigt at anskaffe "high cut"-hjelme. Anvendelse af High Cut-hjelm er et aktivt fravalg af beskyttelse af dele af soldatens hoved, da en High Cut-hjelm dækker et mindre område end den nuværende Hjelm M/12 og M/96. Godkendelse af de enkelte funktioner er sket på chefniveauet ved hvert af de tre værn, og yderligere behov for High Cut-hjelm skal ligeledes godkendes. For Hærens vedkommende godkendes High Cut-hjelm alene for finskytter og observatører, morter-besætninger og skyts-besætninger. I Søværnet godkendes High Cut-hjelme til anvendelse for boarding-hold, og ved Flyvevåbnet er anvendelse godkendt ved Eskadrille 660 og ZULU Team/Air Tactical Wing. . 2023-04-22 . Facebook . en.

  90. Web site: FMI (Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organization) . å I løbet af 2022 vil nye enkeltdele til Forsvarets våben være tilgængelige. Fleksible dele omfatter en lang række enkeltdele til diverse våben, hvormed Forsvarets enheder kan tilpasse våbnene til konkrete opgaver og behov. Tilbage i 2021 indgik FMI en syvårig rammeaftale på "fleksible dele" til våben. I lighed med den tidligere aftale, omfatter den nye aftale enkeltdele til både almindelige rails og det nyere M-lok (Modular Lock) system. Enkeltdelene fås i farverne sort og Tan 499, mens nogle af delene også kan fås i farven hvid. Rammeaftalens enkeltdele vil kunne anvendes på flere af Forsvarets våben. Et eksempel er Forsvarets standardgevær M/10 V4, hvor de væsentligste nye dele i aftalen er beskrevet herunder. 1. Kolbe fra firmaet Mission First Tactical. 2. Bagerste flip-up sigte fra firmaet Mission First Tactical. 3. Hård plast-railbeskyttere fra firmaet Ergo grips. 4. Bløde railbeskyttere fra firmaet Ergo grips. 5.

  102. Web site: FMI (Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organization) . MULTIFUNKTIONSKAMERA FÅR NYT LIV Multifunktionskameraerne kaldet JIM Long Range (LR) vil i den kommende tid gennemgå en softwareopdatering. Navnet Jim kommer fra det franske "Jumelles Infrarouge Multifonction", som direkte oversat betyder Binokular Infrarød Multifunktion, og danner den mundrette forkortelse JIM. Opdateringen vil forbedre kvalitetsopfattelsen af JIM LR på otte væsentlige punkter, som vil styrke udstyret markant samt give det en levetidsforlængelse. Softwaren vil blive udviklet, så Forsvarets Hovedværkested i Brødeskov i løbet af vinteren 2018-19 vil kunne tilføje de nye funktioner til JIM LR. Udstyret skal afleveres i den periode, hvor det opdateres. Opdateringsperioden koordineres via Hærstaben. Det forventes, at de opdaterede JIM senest vil kunne tages i brug i foråret 2019, hvor der skal planlægges en efteruddannelse på den opdaterede version. . 2023-05-19 . Facebook . en.
