That was the ENFORCE TAC

From February 23 to 25, 2026, MEHLER SYSTEMS presented the combined expertise of MEHLER PROTECTION, LINDNERHOF, and UF PRO at ENFORCE TAC in Nuremberg. 

At the center of MEHLER PROTECTION's presentation was the introduction of the Omega Jaw, the first lower jaw protection that protects against direct fire from Kalashnikov rifles according to VPAM 6 requirements. This development fills a long-existing protection gap in the lower facial area and complements heavily armored helmet systems to achieve a more uniform head protection.

In parallel, MEHLER PROTECTION presented the Omega Core Ultra-Light combat helmet, which combines the highest ballistic protection with reduced system weight.

New Threats as a Challenge for Platform Protection

In response to the growing threat from UAVs, SCILT was presented, a close-range drone defense system designed for close and very close distances. SCILT can be operated manually with electro-optical, radar, or image recognition sensors or autonomously, allowing for flexible deployment for different mission profiles. By using standard ammunition, including fragmentation, high-explosive, and armor-piercing rounds, the system can be set up for both individual drone and swarm attacks.

Two Decades of Competence in Modular Load-Carrying Systems

LINDNERHOF highlighted both new developments and its long-standing expertise in modular load-carrying systems at Enforce Tac 2026. For example, the first models of a newly developed backpack product family, which is designed for scalability and adaptability for various operational scenarios. Additional improvements were presented for LINDNERHOF's heavy load-carrying system, including extra load lifters and side pockets for the ergonomic and secure transport of bulky equipment.

Tactical Clothing for Multi-Environment Operations

UF PRO showcased developments in its tactical clothing portfolio, addressing operational requirements in diverse environments. Highlights included the introduction of the P-40 Responder Shirt for warm patrol and training environments, as well as the next generation of the classic, discreet P-40 Classic Gen.3 pants, designed for unrestricted mobility and operational suitability in daily use.

A selection of products also featured extended camouflage pattern options such as Woodland and MultiCam Alpine for various terrain and seasonal conditions.

Flame-resistant products were also presented, such as 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.

Recognized Innovation, Coordinated Implementation

Just before Enforce Tac 2026, MEHLER SYSTEMS was awarded the TOP 100 Award 2026 – a recognition of the group's purposeful innovation processes and its ability to translate research and development into certified, mass-producible protection solutions.
