Canadian armed forces will receive 4,000 systems in total. The lightweight, modular and open-architecture system is now being showcased to other militaries around the world.

Developed by Rheinmetall Canada’s its ARGUS soldier system, Integrated Soldier System (ISS),  uses specialized BMC4I software to provide a COP (common operating picture) with important mission information, such as friendly positions, enemy positions, and terrain overlaid on tactical maps. Voice and data are rapidly exchanged between soldiers and their commander, resulting in an overall increase in team mobility, lethality, sustainability, and interoperability. Wearable electronics are ergonomic and reduced to a minimum. The easy-to-use interface ensures that soldiers remain focused on the mission.

In 2015 the Argus soldier system was contracted for the Canadian Forces’ Integrated Soldier System Project (ISS).
