Service clothing and personal protection for NS personnel is to be updated to Combat Wear 5.0 standard over the next 2 years. The biggest change will be the merging of Integrated Force Goggles - the eyewear worn for protection in combat situations with augmented reality features including targeting with the Darli laser rifle - with the standard NS headwear. NS personnel won't need to carry IFGs with them, the new goggles will pop down from the headwear automatically.
Prowler troops will also have a chameleon layer on their uniforms with active visual stealth. Blast protection and bio-monitoring systems will also be improved.
