High-tech body armor
Much of the convention floor came to a standstill when Jason Falla started beating a colleague over the head as hard as he could with a baton.To get more news about best bullet proof vests, you can visit bulletproofboxs.com official website.
But the Australian Defense Force veteran did no damage to his would-be victim. Instead, the violent exercise was designed to showcase the effectiveness of a groundbreaking body armor system from Chiron Global Tech, an Australian technology company. It was just one of the hundreds of contractors displaying their cutting-edge weapons, vehicles, equipment and other eye-popping gadgets at a major U.S. special operations conference this week.
“We need realistic training,” said Mr. Falla, the director of training at Redback One, a leading combat training systems company. “We need a suit just like this hard suit that we can use full-force strikes on. … And we can train for reality and build those neural pathways so that we can enhance our own lethality and survivability the correct way.”
The demonstration of Chiron technology was just one example of what officials say is a key component of military special operations in the 21st century: the close collaboration of allies such as the U.S. and Australia. Military leaders focused heavily on the concepts of partnership and cooperation during Wednesday’s events, which included a host of stunning displays.Among the most notable: a special operations mock mission in which troops rappelled from helicopters onto a yacht in the waters outside the convention center as thousands of onlookers braved the 90-degree Florida heat to get a glimpse of the world’s most elite military units in action.
