The Blast Boot’s unique design deflects mine blast outward from the point of contact, providing the wearer the protection, flexibility and comfort for extended operation in mine infested areas.
EZ-Info will introduce a new combat identification system, effective in the visible, thermal and NIR spectral bands, enabling effective identification of friendly forces and battlefield preparation using concealed target reference points, clearly marking and effectively engaging enemy targets in complex, protected areas. GMA is also demonstrating innovative multi-spectral camouflage techniques utilizing their proprietary Aketon concealment system.
Idan will show how aerial recce images transform into two- and 3D models providing detailed intelligence resources for military planners and the warfighters, utilizing the company’s Oblivision and Telem applications. Advanced electro-optical equipment for personal use and unit level applications will also be displayed by several manufacturers from Israel and abroad. Electro Optical system will be presented by a number of companies,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], including the U.S. FLIR Systems, Israel’s ITL, and Newcon Optik from Canada.
Systems designed for the detection of explosives, chemical or biological agents are also attracting increasing interest among world military, homeland security and agencies responsible for hazardous materials (HAZMAT). At ISDEF, Proengine will demonstrate CBR agent detectors based on flame spectrometry technology, enabling almost instant, simultaneous detection of multiple hazardous chemical warfare agents or biological pathogens. The Israeli company STI will showcase their forensic an explosive identification sensor,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], analyzing vapor and trace vapor samples for reliable and accurate identification of commercial, military and improvised explosives. Verint, a specialist in lawful interception and actionable intelligence from video surveillance, will also present its solutions for homeland security.
The Israeli startup company Camero will demonstrate its innovative sensor capable of ‘seeing through walls’. Camero will demonstrate how assault teams can use the handheld XaverT 400 radar to view people and movement behind walls.
Law enforcement systems are also exhibited here. Among the innovative products and technologies to be exhibited at ISDEF, are the alcohol interlock, developed by the Canadian company ACS. Also known as an ignition interlock, this in-car breath alcohol screening instrument prevents a vehicle from starting if it detects a driver’s blood alcohol concentration (BAC) over a pre-set limit.
