“Especially in the current security situation, our top priority is to deliver our systems reliably and in line with the threat and operational requirements to the complete satisfaction of our customers. In this respect, the current scheduled delivery of the 100,000th protective vest system to BwBM is an important milestone in this successful program,” emphasized Thomas Homberg, CEO of the Mehler Systems Group. MOBAST – acronym for “Modular Ballistic Protective and Carrying Equipment” – is a protective system that combines a protective vest with adaptable carrying equipment with soft and hard ballistic body protection, including shoulder, neck, upper arm, abdomen and thigh areas as well as additional stab protection. https://militaeraktuell.at/hubschrauberpiloten-trainieren-flugmanoever/ At a joint event in Cologne on February 5, the 100,000th MOBAST protective vest system was symbolically handed over to the managing directors of Bw Bekleidungsmanagement GmbH, Stephan Minz and Felix Wriggers, by Thomas Homberg and the COO/CFO, Mario Amschlinger, in the presence of Vice Admiral Carsten Stawitzki, Head of the Armaments Department at the Federal Ministry of Defence.
