Rethinking Defense and Protection

IF YOU WANT SECURITY, PREPARE FOR THE DESASTER

For the protection of our values, loved ones, and countries we need an efficient innovative civil defense in addition to strong defense forces.

We are currently being made aware of how fundamentally important the high operational readiness and innovative technical equipment of our fire departments, rescue services and disaster control personnel are.

Defense innovation and civil protection innovation are going hand in hand.

We believe that those who can competently rescue, extinguish, salvage, and protect are improving living conditions for all people in the world.

There are innovations for?CIVIL PROTECTION:

• Building Design and Construction: The adoption of fire- and explosive-resistant building designs and construction methods to reduce the spread of fire and protect building occupants.
• Simulation of Explosion, Fire, and Evacuation Scenarios:?These simulations provide information about the possible explosion damage of buildings or human injuries. This results in developing counter measures to protect assets and life.

• Improved Firefighters' Equipment: An example is the development of water mist systems, which use fine droplets of water to extinguish fires, as an alternative to traditional fire suppression systems. Inventions in this field fire extinguish bombs, to help firefighters respond to fires more effectively and safely.?

There are innovations for?PERIMETER PROTECTION:

We need innovations to protect critical infrastructures.?It is important to ensure the proper functioning and protection of buildings and sites.

There are solutions that protect objects far before the use of firearms. “Sonic Walls” are initiated around the jeopardized objects by manual operation or by means of electronic monitoring systems to prevent a planned attack circular around the object to be protected.

By example the AS2D is a new operational tool that considerably extends the “instrument box” of the perimeter protection and the police. The use of it is substantially less harmful than the use of firearms and thus it is an instrument particularly suitable to the requirements made of the state to use appropriate force. Such products clearly increase and improve the operating options in difficult situations and leads to ability to control situations. It has a considerable effect on the perpetrator foils, disturbs, interrupts, and complicates communication among the criminals and enables the security forces to take appropriate countermeasures.?

There are?INTERNATIONAL NETWORKS:

The International Fire and Rescue Confederation (FRC) is a non-profit association based in Germany and operating worldwide.?

The objective of the confederation is to support and improve the development of hazard prevention and disaster protection. The FRC has set itself the goal of bundling knowledge and experience (know-how) from the areas of?training,?technology, and?science. This applies to the areas of fire brigades, fire protection and rescue services, emergency medical care and civil and civil protection.

The know-how exchange and transfer from the world’s best practices in hazard prevention and fire protection is at the heart of the confederation:

We believe that those who can competently rescue, extinguish, salvage, protect and provide effective aid that prevents disasters are improving living conditions for all people in the world.
