Looks to me like the French are going British...however the French have been using the CIRAS in Afghan so this kind of makes no sense to me.

The vest is Hercules releasable integrated vest, made by French company named Protecop. They aim to replace with it RAV's and CIRASes currently in purachased for the French ISAF forces. It was displayed at Milipol.
