Israel Weapon Industries, which produces combat-proven small arms for military forces, police units, law enforcement agencies, and governmental entities around the world, is showcasing the patented GAL Versatile Protective Suit (VPS) at Eurosatory 2022.

Adaptable to all scenarios, the lightweight, wearable protection system provides protection from trauma injuries.

Flexible and easy to wear, the comprehensive, three-level operational solution includes a vest and arm and leg protectors, all anti-trauma. Weighing just 5.0 kg at W3 and 5.9kg at W5, its unique design is suitable for users from small to large size. The system is also covered with an anti-abrasion material as standard, or with flame retardant material according to the customer’s needs. the system has achieved German standard VPAM KDIW 2004 Cubic/ Wurfel.

“By changing the geometry of the GAL VPS, we have increased the level of protection it offers, decreasing the intensity of impact by 90%” said Ronen Hamudot, Executive VP of Marketing and Sales at SK Group. “We recently collaborated with the special operations team of West Virginia DCR during their training, and we are happy to announce a purchase order by the prison tactical teams in the US. Further orders were received recently from other organizations around the world, following the system’s excellent performance.”
