3M Deutschland, Schuberth team for new helmets
St. Paul, Minn. (UPI) Feb 11, 2016 - 3M's German subsidiary and Schuberth GmbH are to collaborate on developing an improved helmet system for European military and law enforcement.

Under the collaborative agreement between the two companies the future helmets will be for the European market. Schuberth, a leading German head-protection manufacturer, will also be the distributor of 3M ballistic helmets manufactured by Ceradyne Inc., a 3M company.

"The agreement with 3M is an important step for us in strengthening our position in the market segment of ballistic head protection systems," said Schuberth CEO Jan-Christian Becker.

"Our police and military customers will benefit from this cooperation, as reliable technologies of both companies are immediately available," said David Cerny, head of Government Customers at 3M Deutschland GmbH. "Our goal is to offer lighter weight, effective protection in the face of growing threats."

The Terrier combat engineering vehicle by BAE Systems has received been fitted with new technologies and systems.

A new telescopic arm for investigation of suspicious buried items, such as mines and improvised explosive devices, extends more than 26 feet from the vehicle. Modules for the Terrier include the rock hammer, ripper and earth auger.

It can also move through water with 6.5-foot wave surges.

"Along with the new telescopic arm and other attachments, Terrier remains the most technologically advanced and flexible combat engineer vehicle in the world," said Rory Breen, export sales manager for BAE Systems Land UK. "Due to the modular nature of the vehicle, it could also be quickly adapted for a range of other situations, such as clearing paths through jungle or thick foliage."

BAE Systems said standard capabilities of the vehicle include complete remote control from a distance of as much as about one-half mile and a front loader system that can lift as much as 5.5 tons.
