2010, intended to replace the Schützenpanzer Marder 1 IFV, with equipping to be completed by 2025. Due to the design of the Puma, Panzergrenadiers cannot exceed a height of 1.84 meters. The G36 assault rifle is the standard weapon of German infantrymen and also used by Panzergrenadier units. Each dismounted fireteam usually also deploys a MG3 machine gun. To fight armored vehicles or other hard targets the Panzerfaust 3 rocket-propelled grenade and the MILAN Anti-tank guided missile are in use. The MILAN-ATGM is used by dismounted Panzergrenadier fireteams (which consist of six soldiers due to the number of soldiers carried by the Marder and Puma IFVs), as well as attached to the Marder turret to provide the IFV with enhanced anti-armour capabilities. In tandem with the replacement of the Marder by the Puma, the MILAN is similarly being replaced by the Spike-ATGM for mounted and dismounted use. As part of the Future Soldier-program, the German Infanterist der Zukunft program is also intended to be introduced into Panzergrenadier units and is already deployed with German soldiers in Afghanistan. Austrian Bundesheer The two existing Panzergrenadier battalions of the Austrian Bundesheer use the Ulan armoured fighting vehicle. The Waffenfarbe of the Austrian Panzergrenadiers is black. Swiss Army In 2000, the Swiss Army purchased 186 CV 90 infantry fighting vehicles from Hägglunds of Sweden. They are in use with Panzergrenadier troops. Swedish Army The Swedish Army has used infantry in its armored force since 1942, so-called "armoured infantry" (). In 1943 the first Swedish dedicated infantry fighting vehicle was introduced, namely the tgb m/42 KP. Infantry serving with it were called "armoured schütze soldiers" (). The tgb m/42 KP was generally a good design for its time but it lacked an armored roof for the troop compartment. Its wheeled design also limited its use alongside tanks when in terrain. By the late 1950s a replacement design was needed. This led to the development of the pbv 301 and 302 IFVs, featuring tracked chassises and enclosed troop compartments. By the 1980s the next generation of Swedish IFV was in development, ultimately resulting in the strf 90 IFV, internationally known as the CV90. For a brief period, Sweden also serviced ex East German BMP-1 IFVs from the Soviet Union, under the Swedish designation pbv 501, while waiting for more strf 90s to be produced.
