Morgan Advanced Materials’ Composites and Defense Systems has launched a new lightweight ERGOTEC 4025 explosive ordinance disposal (EOD) suit.

Integrating new technology, leading edge materials and world class garment engineering, the ERGOTEC 4025 combines the highest levels of protection with the user mobility required for successful EOD missions.

The ERGOTEC 4025 features a new streamlined chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) facemask.

Fitting under the suit’s helmet, the facemask, alongside the CBRN bodysuit, gloves, and foot protection, acts as a critical CBRN shield while maintaining the helmet’s streamlined design.

Another leading innovation is the suit’s quick release mechanisms, allowing the user to self-extract from the suit in an emergency situation in less than 20 seconds.

Further advances include a decoupling breastplate with an innovative three-piece design, providing high flexibility to users.

An integrated back protector provides blunt trauma protection while delivering cooling air and the suit’s cooling system fits neatly into the rear of the suit.

According to Morgan, the suit is available in five different mix and match sizes and a range of colours and that the suit can be customised to meet market needs.

“The suit design has focused on gathering forensic evidence, which requires high protection with flexibility to enable climbing or crawling,” said Martyn Cook, development director at Morgan Composites.

Morgan said the ERGOTEC 4025 EOD is available to US law enforcement customers exclusively through Point Blank. (AR)
