Man-portable obstacle breaching
We clear the way ahead, facilitating effective, portable pathway clearance solutions for expeditionary forces and special operations.
Our Chemical Warfare Agent (CWA) detection solutions identify all known, unknown, and emerging variants, and we also provide a variety of explosive detection kits to meet diverse operational requirements.
