Protect.
Protection in the operational context is mostly ballistic. Two of our three focus brands address that directly: the armour itself, and the shock absorption that sits behind it. The third focuses on a different but equally specialised threat: water as an operational environment. Together they cover what the demanding end-user wears between themselves and the things that want to harm them.
WHAT THIS DOMAIN COVERS.
Long-range optics for daytime observation and identification. Thermal imaging for low-visibility conditions and target acquisition. Night vision for sustained operations after dark. Each category demands different choices on the trade-off between magnification, weight, durability, and battery life. The three focus brands together cover the operational range. From light hand-held optics for reconnaissance to integrated thermal-night-vision systems for sustained operations.
PGD.
Protection Group Denmark – Danish manufacturer of ballistic protection equipment, with a portfolio that covers vests, plates, helmets, and integrated solutions for armed forces and law enforcement. PGD is in our portfolio because of the depth of its ballistic protection range and its consistent quality across product categories.
SIEL.
Italian manufacturer specialising in diving equipment and underwater operational systems for military and tactical use. SIEL is in our portfolio because of its specialisation in this narrow domain – diving suits and equipment built for sustained operational use rather than recreational diving.
SEND NODS.
Manufacturer of innovative shock-absorbing components for ballistic protection systems, designed to reduce residual impact energy that ballistic armour itself does not dissipate. Send Nods is in our portfolio as a component supplier – their shock absorbers integrate into the broader ballistic protection ecosystem, making the difference between stopping a threat and stopping a threat without injuring the wearer.
