FULDA, GERMANY (16 May 2023) – Mehler Vario System Group today announced that Mehler Vario System and Mehler Engineered Defence, will jointly exhibit at this year´s International Defence and Security Technologies Fair (IDET), to be held beginning 24 May and continuing through 26 May at the Brno Exhibition Centre in the Czech Republic.
The two Mehler Vario System Group companies will be presenting from Stand 019 in Pavilion P of the 15,000-square-meter facility at Výstavišt? 405/1 in the city of Brno.
IDET is a well-attended defence- and security-technology trade fair during which exhibitors from approximately 30 countries present their products to delegations of government officials and military professionals from around the world. Highly ranked in importance, IDET also features a variety of panel discussions and educational programmes in which defence technology experts discuss topical issues.
(Held concurrently with IDET under the common title of Integrated Rescue System Fairs are two other events: the PYROS International Fire and Equipment Fair for professionals in the fields of search-and-rescue and fire, asset, life, and health protection; and the ISET International Security Technology and Services Fair which focusses on cybersecurity.)
Mehler Vario System—Europe’s market leader in ballistics—revealed that it plans to showcase at IDET a number of new user-driven advances in the field of personal protection and ballistic protection systems. Expected to be included are ballistic helmets, soft ballistic plates, hard ballistic plates, covert vests, overt vests, and plate carriers. Among the most notable of these will be Mehler FlexGuard, which is a lightweight soft-ballistic panel designed expressly to fit the contours of the female body; another notable will be the versatile modular carrying system M.U.S.T., a quickly mountable-dismountable solution for police and military.
Mehler Engineered Defence—a specialist in protection systems for vehicles, ships, aviation, and infrastructure—will display its wide range of ballistic personal-protection shields. Each of these shields has been developed and manufactured according to customer-specific designs in various protection classes, including NIJ 0108.01, VPAM, TR bullet-resistance, and other standards related to protection against long- and short-range weapons threats.
