List of equipment of the British Army

Special Forces users of the L115A3 had a requirement to fire a 300 gr (19 g) bullet - heavier than the 250 grain earlier L115s were built for - which resulted in Accuracy International developing the A4 model.

The weapons no longer see extensive use but are retained for hostage rescue operations in non-hostile environments since their 9×19mm ammunition is less likely to ricochet or over-penetrate.

The Hatton round is a mixture of compressed gun or zinc powder and wax and is formulated to cause only localised damage without passing through the door and hitting a hostage.

[109] In December 2022, it was announced that a £229 million deal had been agreed with Saab for several thousand more NLAW units to be delivered to the British Army from 2024 - 2026.

The Javelin warhead is a 'tandem' configuration : the first shaped charge is designed to penetrate the target's outer defenses, such as reactive armour, whilst the second goes on to do further damage.

[124][125] All soldiers are now equipped with the new Virtus helmet[126] (Revision Batlskin Cobra Plus[127]) which provides increased blunt impact protection, has a lighter weight than the preceding Mk7, can be fitted with face and mandible guards for certain roles, is specially shaped to allow effective weapon usage while in a prone position and wearing body armour, and features a permanent universal night vision mount and a scalable counterweight attached to the helmet's rear in order to ease strain on the user's neck while a night vision device is equipped.

The vest also features a quick-release mechanism to aid safe extraction from hazardous situations such as burning vehicles or drowning and a dynamic weight distribution system which, when linked to a soldier's waist belt, aids in spreading the soldier's load across the back, shoulders, and hips; a mechanism in the small of the back allows the wearer to adjust the weight bias depending on the situation.

The second layer consists of detachable pelvic body armour that is intended to be worn while 'outside the wire' to meet the greater threats faced by soldiers on patrol.

The third layer consists of knee-length ballistic shorts worn over a soldier's combat trousers, offering coverage of the upper leg and wider abdominal region and designed for use by soldiers operating hand-held metal detectors to search for explosive devices or otherwise serving in a combat role where greater levels of protection are required.

The multi-terrain pattern (MTP) combat clothing is designed to blend with the range of environments such as woodland, jungle, compounds, crops, grassland and arid stone.

[143][144][145] Usage of privately purchased webbing, whether based on or customised PLCE or with MOLLE compatibility, also remains a very common item.

[177] The 6×6 Wolfhound is a tactical support variant of the Mastiff and is used to accompany front line patrols and carry essential combat supplies such as water and ammunition.

[178] The vehicles primarily support the Heavy Mechanised Infantry battalions of 3rd (UK) Division and are equipped with either a .50 cal HMG, 40 mm GMG or a 7.62 GPMG.

[182] The Supacat HMT 600 6×6 designated the Coyote is a tactical support variant (TSV) of the Jackal, that allows transportation of supplies and equipment over similar terrain, up to 1.5 tonnes.

[237] In April 2023, it was announced that British Army Land Rovers will be part of a new trial examining electric power for UK military vehicles.

Its unique haptic grip controller also provides precision critical to complex tasks, keeping soldiers out of harm’s way, and saving lives.

[245] It is used by 11 Explosive Ordnance Disposal and Search (EOD&S) Regiment to provide a nationwide high readiness response capability in support of the police.

[246] In 2022, Supacat delivered the physical integration of the latest chemical, biological, nuclear and radiological sensing equipment, RBSL having completed the engineering work required to upgrade the CBRN vehicles.

[248] The job of the Royal Engineers is to restrict the enemy's ability to advance, while also allowing friendly combat forces the freedom to maneuver as necessary.

In August 2020, AmeyBriggs (new joint venture between Amey plc and Briggs Defence)[250] was awarded a seven year, £240m contract to maintain, manage and support the British Army's fleet of earth-moving, engineer construction and mechanical handling capabilities.

[252]AmeyBriggs now provides the British Army with a wide range of earthmoving, construction and materials handling/lifting equipment to support their worldwide training and operational requirements.

[253] In recent years the equipment, which includes excavators, bulldozers, dump trucks, concrete mixers, tractors, lighting towers, forklift trucks and cranes,[254] has been used to help with recovery following the devastation caused by Hurricanes Irma and Dorian in the Caribbean, during major flooding incidents in the UK and supporting the military response to COVID-19 by loading and off-loading vital medical supplies.

[264] In August 2016, BBC News reported that the Toyota Land Cruiser-based Jankel Al-Thalab long range patrol vehicle was being used in Syria.

[271] Both the Royal Engineers and 17 Port and Maritime Regiment and 165 Port and Maritime Regiment, Royal Logistic Corps also make use of the Combat Support Boat since it is capable of being used to support bridging and amphibious operations as well as inland water patrolling and ship-to-shore resupply (it can carry 2 tonnes of cargo or 12 personnel) and diving operations.

[276] In March 2023, the 2nd Battalion, Royal Yorkshire Regiment trialled working with the Thermal Clip-On Sight, known as TCOS, which is mounted on their helmet.

This allows infantry soldiers to see a combined thermal and night vision picture while undertaking activities rather than having to stop and look through a weapon sight.

The platform will consist of the Remote-Controlled Howitzer 155 mm (RCH 155) weapon module fitted to the rear half of the Boxer mechanised infantry vehicle (MIV) and will be in service with the Royal Artillery by the end of the decade.

[286] The Parachute Regiment began trialling the Sur-Ron Firefly electric motorcycle in 2021, "for recce, infiltration, but also for communications between positions where you need to pass messages on the man, like we’ve done for hundreds of years, but in a situation where electronic communication is jammed or intercepted.”[290][291] The Ministry of Defence selected the Rheinmetall Mission Master SP for its Robotic Platoon Vehicles program in 2022.

The trial saw three companies selected to take part to showcase their platforms: Elbit with its Robust, Milrem and its Type X, and Rheinmetall with its Wiesel.

[294] The Hydra 400 jet-propelled drone, which provides a maximum lift of 400 kg and fires Brimstone laser-guided missiles, was showcased at DSEI 2023, and will be tested during the next phase of the Army’s Warfighting Experiment (AWE).
