The company returned to Kielce following its most recent participation in MSPO during the 32nd edition of the exhibition in 2024. This year’s event brought together representatives of the armed forces, government authorities, procurement bodies, and defense industry specialists. In Hall 4, at stand 4-D09, Mehler Protection presented a broad range of personal protection solutions tailored to diverse operational requirements.
The centerpiece of the display consisted of three complete product offerings:
- MUST (Modular Universal Scalable Technology) / MoBaST (Modularen ballistischen Schutz- und Trageausstattung) modular tactical system integrated vests, developed in accordance with the requirements of German special forces. It is a modular and scalable protection system that allows users to adapt the protective configuration to different missions and operational requirements.
- ExoM II, a second-generation passive exoskeleton designed to transfer the weight of heavy protective equipment away from the shoulders and reduce physical strain during prolonged wear. The system was presented together with the Omega Jaw ballistic mandible protection system.
- The Riot II protection system, designed for public order operations and riot control.
Together, these three configurations demonstrated different approaches to personal protection, ranging from flexible vest systems and load-distribution solutions to specialized protection for riot-control operations.
In addition to the complete configurations, the Mehler Protection stand also featured a broad selection of plate carriers and body armor systems, hard and soft ballistic protection components, helmets, and ballistic shields.
