MED-ENG EOD 10
The EOD teams of Warsaw SPKP are using the EOD 10 protective suits
developed by Med-Eng company from Canada (now part of Safariland
Group). These are classified as Heavy EOD Suits.
The EOD 10 bomb suit and helmet ensemble gives EOD operators
superior balanced protection against the four main blast threats:
overpressure, fragmentation, impact and heat. It should also be noted
that Med-Eng evaluated and carefully applied the latest lightweight
protective materials to increase overall protection while significantly
reducing weight. This is a remarkable achievement.
It is significantly lighter, more comfortable and gives users much greater
mobility. The jacket and trousers have been completely redesigned
to reduce weight and fatigue. Its new and enhanced ambient air
ventilation systems keep users feeling refreshed and focused. The
improved fit and new materials enable bomb disposal technicians and
military EOD operators to operate more freely in difficult locations for
longer periods of time.
The EOD helmet has been completely redesigned to improve situational
awareness, protection and fit. The EOD 10 helmet integrates a Voice
Command system and new light discipline options, and provides
enhanced warning and confirmation systems to support users in a
variety of operational environments.
