DUSSELDORF - The German Armed Forces has once again commissioned Rheinmetall to supply the communication headset with hearing protection function. In December 2025, a third delivery lot was called up from the framework contract, awarded in April 2024. A total of 50,000 sets with hearing protection function, abbreviated known as SmG, and other items are to be delivered. The order value is over €130 million net.

The framework contract serves for the delivery of up to 191,000 SmG sets and has a duration of seven years, and a possible total volume of around €400 million net. The German Bundestag's Budget Committee had imposed conditions on the project. As a result, only a total of 60,000 sets were initially ordered for delivery in 2024 and 2025. The two delivery lots financed by the special fund include additional items such as connection cables. The two orders had a net value of approximately €150 million. These first two delivery lots will be fully delivered by the end of 2025.
