Innovations in dismounted soldier technology have increased C4i (command, control, communications, computers, intelligence) capability significantly in the last decade, enhancing the flexibility and survivability of forces across the world.
British company CQC is among leaders in the field with its award-winning Osprey body armour system, which is on display at IDEX (Stand 05-D13).
Osprey, with its uniquely designed modular capability, allows dismounted troops to tailor its configuration to individual mission specific needs. The system is designed to ensure maximum flexibility in the distribution of weight and integration of ballistic protection, without compromising on combat effectiveness.
Quick release and bespoke adjustable fixtures are standard features of CQC designs; configurable straps, buckles and fixings accommodate additional load.
Extensive engineering and research into human factors “means one size does not have to fit all,” says CQC. Additional protection can be added and removed as required, building a scalable system into a more effective protection platform to meet evolving threats.
Innovations incorporating man-worn power and data (MWPD) systems, dismounted technology and specialist textiles and cabling push the capability and the options even further.
Since personal protection for soldiers became an urgent requirement in early 2003, CQC has worked closely with partners and the end-user community to design, develop and deliver a world-class system. With nearly 300,000 systems delivered, Osprey is battle proven in some of the world’s most harsh and hostile environments and has earned a deserved reputation for design, capability and quality.
Building the equipment and connectivity of the “Soldier Platform”, delivering a more seamless and integrated solution that reduces the burden, maximises the “irreducible minimum” and enhances overall effectiveness.
