FULDA, GERMANY (6 March 2026)
From 23–25 February 2026, Mehler Systems exhibited at Enforce Tac in Nuremberg, bringing together the capabilities of Mehler Protection, Lindnerhof, and UF PRO at Hall 7A, Booth 333. Over three days, the group presented recently launched innovations alongside its established solutions, reinforcing its integrated approach across personal protection, platform protection, modular load carriage, and tactical clothing.

At the center of Mehler Protection’s presentation was the introduction of the Omega Jaw, the first mandible guard engineered to defeat AK-type rifle threats at full velocity in accordance with VPAM 6 requirements. By addressing the lower facial area, the Omega Jaw closes a long-standing protection gap and complements up-armoured helmet systems to achieve a more homogeneous level of head protection.
Alongside this development, the Omega Core Ultra-Light Combat Helmet was presented as part of Mehler Protection’s continued focus on reducing system weight while maintaining advanced ballistic performance. Designed for extended wear and compatibility with modern accessories, the helmet reflects the brand’s emphasis on ergonomics and operational reliability.
In addition to these novelties, Mehler Protection showcased its established personal protection portfolio, including the modular M.U.S.T. system, ultra-light ballistic helmets, and the ExoM Up-Armoured Exoskeleton, a modern military body armour solution currently fielded by European armed forces.
In response to the evolving threat posed by small unmanned aerial systems, Mehler Protection presented SCILT, a close-range Counter-UAS system developed to defeat FPV drones, kamikaze drones, and loitering munitions at close and very close ranges. SCILT can be operated manually with electro-optical, radar, or image-recognition sensor support, or run autonomously, allowing flexible deployment across different mission scenarios. By utilising standard ammunition types, including reduced-hazard, fragmentation, and armour-piercing variants, the system can be adapted to both single-drone and swarm engagements.
Complementing SCILT, Mehler Protection also displayed its established platform-protection portfolio, such as PROTEC3D lightweight ballistic components for land, air, and naval applications.
Lindnerhof used Enforce Tac 2026 to highlight both new developments and its long-standing expertise in modular load-carriage systems. The brand introduced the first models of a newly developed backpack product family designed for scalability and adaptability across varying operational scenarios. Further enhancements were presented within its heavy load-carrying system, including additional load carriers and side pouches engineered for the secure and ergonomic transport of bulky equipment.
A new concept aimed at rapidly equipping forces in highly dynamic, life-threatening environments was also introduced, focusing on fast deployment and mission readiness.
At the same time, Lindnerhof’s proven plate carriers, pouch systems, and modular load-bearing configurations remained central to the presentation. The exhibition also marked 20 years since Lindnerhof’s founding, underscoring two decades of experience in field-proven system design.
UF PRO showcased developments across its tactical clothing portfolio, addressing operational requirements in diverse environments. Among the highlights was the introduction of the P-40 Responder Shirt for warm-weather patrol and training scenarios, alongside the next generation of its low-profile design, the P-40 Classic Gen.3 Tactical Pants, engineered for unrestricted mobility and everyday operational reliability.
Expanded camouflage options, including Woodland and MultiCam Alpine, were presented across selected products to support varied terrain and seasonal conditions.
For foul-weather operations, UF PRO introduced the Monsoon X Jacket and Monsoon X Pants, a lightweight hard-shell system developed for sustained exposure to heavy rain and wind. The system combines waterproof and windproof protection with improved mobility and reduced bulk.
Flame-resistant solutions were also on display, including the Delta OL 4.0 FR Tactical Winter Jacket, the Delta Eagle Gen.3 FR Tactical Softshell Jacket, and the new Striker FR Neck Gaiter.
Alongside these new additions, UF PRO presented its established combat uniforms, cold-weather systems, rainwear, and low-profile tactical clothing that form the backbone of its portfolio.
Shortly before Enforce Tac 2026, Mehler Systems was recognised with the TOP 100 Award 2026, reflecting the group’s structured innovation processes and its ability to translate research and development into certified, industrialised protection solutions.
This disciplined approach to innovation was evident at the exhibition, where Mehler Systems demonstrated how its three brands operate within one coordinated group portfolio. By aligning personal ballistic protection, platform protection systems, modular load-carriage solutions, and mission-specific tactical clothing, the group continues to strengthen its position as an integrated provider across multiple operational domains.
