Visitors to the Kielce exhibition will be able to explore solutions designed to meet a variety of operational requirements.
Among the main highlights will be integrated body armor from the MUST (Modular Universal Scalable Technology) / MoBaST (Modularen ballistischen Schutz- und Trageausstattung) modular tactical system, developed in accordance with the requirements of German special operations forces. It is a modular and scalable protection system that allows users to adapt the level and configuration of protection to different missions and operational requirements.
Also on display will be ExoM II, the second generation of Mehler Protection’s passive exoskeleton, designed to transfer the weight of heavy protective equipment away from the shoulders and reduce physical strain during prolonged wear. The system will be presented together with the Omega Jaw ballistic jaw protection system. For public-order and riot-control operations, visitors will also be able to see the Riot II system.
In total, three complete configurations will demonstrate different approaches to personnel protection across varying operational environments and requirements. Mehler Protection will also bring a broader range of ballistic vests, personal armor, ballistic helmets, hard and soft ballistic solutions, as well as flexible and rigid ballistic protection systems.
The 34th International Defence Industry Exhibition will bring together representatives of armed forces, governments, procurement organizations, and defense industry professionals in Kielce. It is an important meeting point for the defense sector in Central and Eastern Europe.
