(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.

DEFEA: RT and CopterPIX Launch the Sky-High DI System, a Combined Tactical Aerostat and Mini Quad Rotor Drone
Thursday, May 4th, 2023The combined investigating system provides a comprehensive detection solution
DEFEA, May 9-11, Metropolitan Expo, Athens, Greece, Hall 2, Stand A2
May 3rd, 2023. RT LTA Systems Ltd. – a world-class designer, developer, and manufacturer of the SkyStar™ family of aerostats for use in intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and communications applications – will launch, together with CopterPIX, the Sky-High DI system, a combined tactical aerostat and mini quad rotor drone. Providing a comprehensive detection solution, the investigating system combines the SkyStar™ 180/330 aerostat and the ERE-95 mini quadcopter.
SkyStarTM is an aerostat family of combat-proven, compact and mobile, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) systems based on lighter-than-air platforms. Designed for extended surveillance and reconnaissance missions for force protection and intelligence gathering, they operate day and night, with a minimal crew at an altitude of up to 1,500 ft, and carry high-performance payloads.
The ERE-95 Mini quad-rotor drone, designed for long-range inspection missions, has a dual day/thermal camera and an 80-100 minute flight time – providing at least 30% longer endurance time than any other commercial platform. These drones consistently outperform the competition in both military and non-military testing, performing complex missions in fully operational and challenging conditions, and are used worldwide by leading government, defense and commercial organizations.
Rami Shmueli, CEO of RT, says, “The integrated system can respond to an extensive range of scenarios. Until today, our system has enabled 24/7 observation and the collection of intelligence information through the wide range of payloads the system can carry.
