(IN BRIEF) HENSOLDT has been awarded a series contract by BAAINBw to supply equipment for dismounted Joint Fire Support Teams of the Bundeswehr. The project will equip JTAC/JFO personnel, who request and direct close air support for ground forces and coordinate indirect artillery fire. The dismounted Joint Fire Support Team, or JFST, project is focused on equipping Joint Terminal Attack Controllers and Joint Forward Observers, known as JTAC/JFO personnel. These teams are responsible for requesting and directing close air support for ground forces, as well as coordinating indirect artillery fire. HENSOLDT said the delivery of the dismounted Joint Fire Support Team equipment will strengthen the Bundeswehr’s capabilities for multi-domain operations within the framework of national and alliance defence.
