FELIN即“装备与通信一体化步兵”的法语缩写。这一计划是法国于20世纪90年代提出的一系列研究与开发计划的延续。与英国人的方案类似,法国FELIN系统也是基于这样一个前提,即步兵应该被看作一个“系统”。一体化的“士兵系统”包括新型作战服、单兵武器和作战装备等。设计思想的核心,是把原先用于步兵战车、战斗机等武器系统开发、设计的一体化设计和开发的概念用在步兵上。 FELIN is the French acronym for Integrated Equipment and Communications Infantry. This plan is a continuation of a series of research and development plans put forward by France in the 1990s. Similar to the British scheme, the French FELIN system is also based on the premise that infantry should be seen as a “system.” The all-encompassing “soldier system” includes new combat clothing, individual weapons and combat equipment. The core of the design idea is to apply the concept of integrated design and development originally used for the development and design of weapon systems such as infantry fighting vehicles and fighter jets to infantry.
