F.A.S.T. 360®: Tactical Plate Carrier with Quick Release System
FAST ACTION SYSTEM TRIGGER 360® F.A.S.T. 360® is a plate carrier with an innovative , patented Quick Release System (QRS).

Compatible with all SAPI / ESAPI shape plates: the 25 x 30 cm plate carrier provides 360° protection with rigid Stand-Alone ballistics plates to insert into each cover. Once the QRS has been activated, reassembling the plate carrier is straightforward and quick: takes less than one minute.

HIGH-TECH CAMERA WITHOUT A SCREEN
FOR REINFORCED PROTECTION OF FIRE-FIGHTERS Volunteer and professional fire-fighters are increasingly subject to aggressions during operations. In 2016, 2,280 fire-fighters reported having been victims, according to figures from the Observatoire National de la Délinquance et des Réponses Pénales (ONDRP – National observatory of delinquency and penal responses). Already used by the national police and gendarmerie to improve relations between law enforcement agencies and the population, mobile cameras have been tested with municipal police forces. 391 municipalities have been able to equip themselves and the outcome is positive: the number of attacks has been reduced by 70%. Based on this success, the experiment has been extended to the fire brigade. The compact camera fulfils 2 roles: it acts as a deterrent in the face of deviant behaviour and ensures transparency of action in the event of a dispute. It can be used day or night and has a GPS location function to provide more precision in captured images and sounds. The camera has a 140° wide angle, a 32 GB storage capacity and a battery operating time of 8 hours for continuous recording and Full HD quality.
surveillance UAVs
