Milipol – W.L. Gore & Associates Pyrad

November 17th, 2015

I’ve often wondered what a combat uniform made from Gore Pyrad treated fabric would look like. I’m a big fan of the technology. Having heard that some work was being done in Europe I was excited to see this display.  

In this case, it’s the French Camouflage Centre Europe pattern, but the Pyrad treatment can be applied to most fabrics. As you can see, it doesn’t negatively affect the color of the pattern. 

  

The fabric retains its basic properties yet becomes FR. So, for example, a waterproof breathable fabric remains so. It also doesnt feel heavy or hot. But, it’s not something that’s going to wash out.

Milipol – Paraboot

November 17th, 2015

Talk about bringing back some memories.  I was walking through the halls at Milipol when I glanced at a booth full of boots.  One of the models reminded me of a pair of jump boots I owned when I was a lot younger.  You old heads will probably remember them.  Fully leather lined and padded with a thick sole.

  
This model is a little different than the original jump boot in that it has zippers and no ankle reinforcements.

  
When I flipped the boot over, it still had the same Parasaut sole but I am told this model is now for aircrew use.

French company Janisset SAS develops molded products as well as produces vertically integrated webbing. They own their factories in Viet Nam, Romania and France and are capable of weaving jacquard as well as variable width webbing.  

 

I found this helmet mount very interesting. Unfortunately, they would not let me photograph it attached to a helmet.

November 12, 2015 – Camero Tech – a world leader and pioneer in the development and marketing of radar-based through-wall systems – will demonstrate the new 3D capability for its XAVER400 Through-Wall Imaging System at the upcoming Milipol 2015 exhibition. The new capability enables differentiating between people and other moving objects, and gives a clearer understanding of people’s positions through the wall.

According to Camero’s CEO, Amir Beeri, “The addition of the 3D capability to the XAVER400 adds more tools and information for the commander in the field to use in making decisions regarding whether or not to enter a room or a building. Incorrect decisions can be very dangerous, and every additional piece of information in the hands of the commander reduces the chance of casualties.”

The XAVER400 is a compact, lightweight and durable personal device optimized for the speed of tactical urban operations for military, law enforcement, and search and rescue users. It delivers critical real-time information on the number of people and their location behind walls. It also provides information regarding room dimensions and major infrastructure elements.

Mr. Beeri continued, “This is the most popular system of its type, used by dozens of armies and Special Forces units around the world. The system has been used in operations across the globe, and has received high praise for its life-saving capabilities.”

In addition to the XAVER400, Camero will also present the XAVER100 ultra-portable, handheld presence-of-life detector, the XAVER800 portable, high-performance imaging system, and the new version of the XAVER NET, a ruggedized wireless portable command and control communication platform.
