The Soldier Modernisation Team is at the forefront of the UK’s soldier modernisation effort, primarily through the Future Integrated Soldier Technology (FIST) programme, a long term, incremental strategy to bring the dismounted soldier within the network enabled domain, enhancing his ability to conduct tactical activities and making a step change in operational capability possible.
The STANO Team is responsible for dismounted optical, thermal imagery and image intensifying devices, supporting in-service systems from weapons sights to specialist battlegroup level equipments. It also procures new to service capability such as Surveillance Systems and Range Finder, a replacement capability for legacy systems, with enhanced capability and greatly reduced weight and logistic burden.
