Groot contract toont vertrouwen in de levensbesparende bescherming en vermogen van het systeem

Stelt hooggekwalificeerde productiebanen veilig in de staat van New York voor minstens de eerstkomende vijf jaar 

OGDENSBURG, New York, 13 april 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Med-Eng®, een merk van The Safariland Group, heeft vandaag bekend gemaakt dat het een vijf jaar Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract heeft getekend om aan de United States Air Force (USAF) de Med-Eng EOD® 10 bompakken te leveren om personeel te beschermen tijdens Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) operaties. De USAF heeft de EOD 10 pakken en accessoires uitgekozen via een concurrerende selectieprocedure waar aan de nieuwe National Institute of Justice Standard 0117.01 (NIJ Standard) voldaan moest worden, voor bescherming tegen ontploffing, fragmentatie, impact en warmte, om enkele van de vele factoren te noemen. Volgens het contract, dat een maximale waarde heeft van $15 miljoen, zal de USAF tot 305 EOD 10 bompakken aanschaffen tijdens het vijfjaar termijn.

"Med-Eng voelt zich vereerd om apparatuur te leveren dat de levens van de EOD teams van de United States Air Force zal beschermen tijdens het uitvoeren van kritische, gevaarlijke en levensreddende missies," zegt Rob Reynolds, vice president, algemeen manager, Med-Eng. "Het selecteren van Med-Eng en onze EOD 10 bompakken geeft aan dat het vertrouwen van de USAF in ons vermogen om zelfs onder de meest barre omstandigheden het hoofd te bieden aan de evoluerende bedreigingen en operationele eisen waarmee onze militaire EOD specialisten en bomtechnici voor publieke veiligheid geconfronteerd worden."  

De EOD 10 bompak is gecertificeerd volgens de NIJ Standard en voldoet of overtreft de strenge criteria van de USAF. De NIJ Standard is gefocust op zes cruciale velden – fragmentatie, impact, vlam, explosiedruk, optica en ergonomie – dat beschermingseisen in overeenstemming brengt met de behoefte van bomtechnici voor mobiliteit, helder zicht, en mobiliteit. Med-Eng is momenteel de enige bompak fabrikant dat aan de NIJ Standard certificatie voldoet.

Dit geavanceerde bompakset levert een optimale balans tussen multi-bedreigende explosiebescherming en ergonomische flexibiliteit. Zijn gebruikersgericht ontwerp bevat stemactivatie, geïntegreerde koeling en compatibiliteit met Chemische & Biologische veiligheidsuitrusting. Het werd ook uitvoerig getest op representatieve bedreigingen van Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs).

De uitvoering van het contract zal bijdragen aan hooggekwalificeerde productieactiviteiten in Ogdensburg, New York, waar Med-Eng bompakken produceert voor alle vier krijgsmachtsonderdelen van de U.S. Military, en ook voor staats- en lokale wetshandhavende explosievenopruimingsteams. Deze vestiging produceert momenteel de nu gebruikte Advanced Bomb Suit (ABS) van de U.S. Army, en alle andere Med-Eng bompakmodellen, die overal in de Verenigde Staten gebruikt worden.

De EOD 10 bompak wordt door militaire en openbare veiligheidsinstanties in 28 landen geproduceerd en wordt tegenwoordig wereldwijd gebruikt.  Voor meer informatie over Med-Eng, bezoek www.med-eng.com.
