IWI Highlights New-Generation Riot Control Suit

Revolutionary System on Show at MOC Prison Riot

Israel Weapon Industries (IWI), an SK Group company,  is showcasing the patented GAL Versatile Protective Suit (VPS) at the MOC Prison Riot Event this week, in collaboration with the Special Operations team of the West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation (DCR).

In demonstrations throughout the event, staff will showcase the suit’s unique ability to reduce trauma sustained by up to 95%. Adaptable to multiple scenarios, the lightweight system provides protection from trauma injuries. The latest generation has been significantly modified, enabling it to withstand even more significant trauma, while maintaining its position as the lightest protective suit currently available.

The GAL VPS absorbs massive kinetic trauma, is flexible and easy to wear, and is available in a three-level operational solution, offering a vest and arm and leg protectors, all anti-trauma. Weighing just 4.4kg at W2 and 5.9kg at W4, its unique design is suitable for users of all sizes. The system comes with an anti-abrasion coating as standard, with flame retardant material on request.

Coupled with the ultralight bullet-proof and anti-stab vest and ballistic helmet, the GAL VPS is the most up-to-date, versatile protective suit available today. Moreover, it 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 95%, to just 0.7-1.5 joules,” says Ronen Hamudot, Executive VP of Marketing and Sales at SK Group. “The MOC Prison Riot event facilitates tactical training and technology deployment demonstrations, resulting in candid practitioner feedback that shapes the law enforcement and corrections industry on an international scale. During the event, the West Virginia DCR Special Operations team will illustrate the enhanced performance of the GAL VPS, with the goal of the training teams to improve their capabilities and meet challenges. We are proud of this unique collaboration, and look forward to further collaborations with law enforcement forces around the world.
