unival® group - Intelligence - Counter Measures - Physical Protection

Terrorists have clearly demonstrated both the intent and capability to employ improvised explosive devices (IEDs) worldwide. This tactic has been used in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as by Muslim extremists in Europe and numerous other terrorist and criminal organizations worldwide.

Terrorists will continue to use IEDs as their weapon of choice, because they are simple, cheap and deliver a disproportionate effect. Various recovered terrorist training manuals describe in great detail the process by which common chemicals can be easily converted into explosives by people with very limited knowledge of chemistry. This threat makes a multi-level security strategy necessary, in order to deter, prevent and detect terrorist use of explosives before threats become imminent.

unival® group has already shifted their main focus to blast protection technologies very early and is now consequently able to offer a unique intersecting product portfolio to protect organizations against threats from any kind of IEDs, whether body-borne (BBIED), vehicle-born (VBIED) or radio-controlled (RCIED).

The product portfolio is divided into three main-sections that cover detection, electronic counter measures and protection against explosives:

• Intelligence - explosive detection / night vision/ thermal imaging / GPS tracking
• Counter measures – FPGA controlled digital wideband jamming systems
• Physical protection – automotive and construction security

HEDD1® - handheld explosive detection device for instant threat classification

With the new HEDD1® unival® group is setting new standards in handheld explosive detection based on the unique patented Magneto-Electrostatic Detection (MED) method, that forms a modulated Magnetic Field (MMF) allowing immediate detection of all types of commercial and military explosives (TNT, Semtex, including liquid explosives within a distance between 2-100 meters behind and through all types of barriers (including concrete, steel etc.). HEDD1® is an essential tool for strategic classification and security planning at all locations of strategic importance and political or commercial centers.

Another new inovation of unival® group has been officially launched in 2009 setting a new benchmark in motorcade protection.

DWJ1® - programmable digital wideband jamming system

The DWJ1® system is the first commercially available high-end digital wideband jamming system, operated with the latest 10GHz FPGA chip-technology, releasing a maxium output power of up to 2.450 Watt. The key advantage is the fact that our jamming system can be individually programmed to threat scenarios in real-time ensuring best possible RCIED-protection at all times. They customizable FPGA software allows to program the system based on an upgradable database.

Based on the same technology portable/ manpack PWJ1® and stationary SWJ® jamming systems are available that can be programmed for optimum efficency.

unival® group - German security technologies

unival® group is a Germany based group of companies with headquarter in Bonn – the former capitol of Germany. Over the last years unival® group has developed into a powerful innovator in ballistic and blast protection technologies with both client customized high-end solutions but also magnitude products.

We have recently formed a new company called Hazard Detection Group GmbH that is focussing on long-distance detection of hazardious materials (CBRN) such as nuclear materials and biological and chemical substances used for biological warfare.

Our clients are governmental organizations, police and defense forces, NGOs, multi-national companies and security companies worldwide.
