light aircraft, SH20 retractable door mount for rotary aircraft CP20 pintle-mounted version for vehicles and small boats, 15A naval version and in the NARWHAL remote control version for vessels. The P20 mount is designed to provide open-top or lightly armored vehicles with a stand-off fire support capability, allowing to en- gage targets from out of enemy machine gun range. The P20 can be mounted on all types of vehicles using an interface support. Installation is fast, easy and requires no special tooling. Its ver- satility can be further enhanced by the fact that it can be easily removed and installed on a standard tripod. The Nexter M621 is widely adopted on land, naval and aerial platforms and has prov- en its reliability, as well as simplicity of use and maintenance. NEWCO SAFETY TECHNOLOGIES The German Newco Safety Technologies, also known as NST, is a specialized manufacturer of military- and law enforcement-grade pyrotechnics such as flash-bang grenades (aka stun grenades), smoke flares and grenades and signal rounds which can be used when radio communications break down or for distress/warning signals, and illumination rounds. Their motto – Human protec- tion without injuries – leads, under the guidance of NST, to a glob- al network of competence. Flexible solutions for the safety of op- erating units and efficiency during missions are developed within this network. Input from users, markets, science, universities and institutions ensures a steady increase of competence and innovation. NST works independently from other corporations, which results in having the choice to use the best available technologies. The wide array of flash-bang grenades (or devices) can be used as a diversion (they generate sound levels of up to 175 dB) during hostage rescue operations or wherever the use of live ammunition is restricted. NST offers multiple variants of flash-bangs (including one, two, six, or even nine "bangs") with aluminum full body, with either a side-vent system or a bottom-vent system. The flash-bangs can be supplied with fly-off lever or electric ignition systems. Mod- ularity of the products enable the user to combine flash- bang and smoke effects for more effective use in tactical environment. NST has also training variants available, with a reusable insert that enables the units to conduct cost-ef- fective training without the use of live flash-bangs. Works 11 is now building competences to manufacture the NST flash-bangs in Poland, which can significantly de- crease the overall cost of procurement. INDUSTRY
