Allen Vanguard Showcases Expanded Range of Products at Eurosatory
12 May 2008 16:46
For the first time since the acquisition of Med-Eng, delegates attending the International Defence Exhibition, Eurosatory, will be able to see the expanded range of Allen Vanguard's key products.
One of the main focuses at the exhibition will be the Med-Eng EOD9 suit and helmet ensemble, the new TM600 Telescopic Manipulator EOD tool, the new Dual Tank Trike, Blast Attenuation Seats, personal and equipment cooling systems, and Allen Vanguard’s latest electronic counter measure systems.
The Med-Eng EOD9 suit and helmet ensemble offers superior protection from the four main blast threats: overpressure, fragmentation, impact and heat. It can also be rapidly configured by the user to respond to IEDD situations where a chemical or biological agent is suspected. The TM600 is the latest generation of remote manipulator providing technicians with the ability to maximise their stand-off distance when working in close proximity to a suspect package.
The new Dual Tank Trike is a self-contained unit for emergency decontamination of larger surface areas on hardware or buildings. It is rugged, portable and simple to operate by a single person, and has a decontamination capability of 113 square metres per dose of SDF. The Blast Attenuation seats have been developed as a series of highly effective military vehicle seats to protect drivers and their occupants from landmines and roadside bombs.
As well as these new products, Allen Vanguard will also be showcasing its signature ROVs: the Digital Vanguard and BombTec Defender. Delegates will be able to experience first hand the ROV's combined touch screen and hard controls that enable simultaneous manipulation of all features, including lights and cameras.
The digital command console brings 'plug and play' accessory functionality and its intuitive design means straightforward tasks can be mastered within 30 minutes. In addition, the console can be used as a laptop, allowing operators to compile reports and embed images recorded during incidents. This new version of the Vanguard is fully interoperable with its sister ROV the Defender, which will be demonstrated on the Allen Vanguard stand.
In addition, Allen Vanguard will be running a series of seminars during the show to give an in-depth briefing on its new decontamination products as well as on its new maritime EOD capability.
"Eurosatory will be a significant milestone for Allen Vanguard in what has been a time of considerable change," explains Dean Boston, international sales director at Allen Vanguard. "We can now offer end-users a complete range of counter-measure and survivability products, all under one roof. With Eurosatory being one of the biggest exhibitions of the year for us, this is great news as we continue to cement our leading position in the internal security marketplace."
