Aero Sekur announces latest development projects for its integrated range of ground defence apparel at IDEX 2011. Visit Aero Sekur at IDEX 2011 Stand A02, Hall 6.

The company, which specialises in the use of advanced materials for safety solutions, will present its comprehensive range of products including respirators/masks, NBC/combat suits, battle dress uniforms, sniper suit poncho, over-garments, personal camouflage systems and camouflage nets. Inflatable field shelters and collective protection (ColPro) for tents, vehicles and ship based protected environments are also supplied, plus fuel tanks and parachutes for military applications.

Detailing latest design initiatives, and emphasising the importance of integration, Aero Sekur President Ing. Silvio Rossignoli said:

“Clothing and apparel need to be part of a total ground defence offer. Individual elements have to meet specific requirements and these have to work effectively as part of a complete solution. Following this integrated ethos, one Aero Sekur R&D initiative in development is a lightweight, low cost gas alarm incorporated into our suit to alert the wearer to an NBC attack. And, responding to demand for product suites, we are trialing technology to embed sensors into combat apparel materials.

“Work is ongoing at Aero Sekur in the application of flexible composite materials to optimise our range, enhance our integrated offer and ensure we stay at the forefront of flexible material innovations for defence apparel.”

Aero Sekur’s skills in design with advanced materials are established with products including a lightweight NBC suit offering flame/tear resistance and greater permeability for wearer comfort. The suit can be washed a number of times without impairing its high levels of protection.
