FirstSpear Flotation Cummerbund in Action

Wednesday, August 29th, 2012

FirstSpear has been working diligently to integrate flotation directly into their armor systems. An important factor in their work is that flotation be as unobtrusive as possible. Also, flotation isn’t the primary mission of the armor, but rather an additional survival capability for users who work in a maritime environment. They’ve done a great job and have provided us this video of the system in action. In this demonstration we see a flotation system that is an integral component of the cummerbund of a new Strandhögg Plate Carrier.

In the video there is an operator who has been forced to abandon ship or otherwise has found himself in the drink. In most instances he would be weighed down by his armor and equipment and if it weren’t for the FirstSpear flotation integrated into his armor’s cummerbund he would have to ditch his equipment or worse yet, he might drown. However, once activated the flotation brings him right to the surface. At this point, he will not only just survive, but can also stay in the fight by returning fire if needed.

This system isn’t intended as a set of waterwings for use by those who can’t swim but rather for use in emergency situations, just like the belt mounted flotation systems already in use by some SOF and parachutists. The difference is that this system is integrated directly into the armor vest so it’s not an extra piece of kit you have to don. Additionally, unlike belt or underarm systems, the FirstSpear flotation won’t get in the way of other equipment or be affected by it when activated. Think of it as an insurance policy. It’s always there when you need it.
