IDET
24.-26.5. 2023

Most modern infantry fighting vehicle in the world CV90, a new protective service pistol from the Czech arms factory, paratrooper training simulator SOKOL^TM or special robots for exploration in difficult terrain. This is just a small part of all the innovations whose presentation has been announced in advance by exhibitors of the 14th International IDET trade fair.

This year's IDET is being prepared at a time of increased investment in the military and security sector. Therefore the exhibitors’ offer will be not only broad but also very attractive, as evidenced by the already pre-announced novelties by some exhibitors.

The exhibition space of GLOMEX Military Supplies will also introduce helmet systems by OpsCore. New items will include helmets from the SENTRY and FAST series. Both series offer a significantly lighter LE ballistic option (LAW ENFORCEMENT), which is intended mainly for riot police and other state authorities. Of course there are also system components, such as ballistic and splinter plates, protection of the lower jaw, ballistic ear protection, RAC communication set and other accessories. GLOMEX Military Supplies have traditionally exhibited low profile night vision goggles AN / PVS-21, designed by Steiner eOptics for special forces. This year, these glasses are presented with an additional COTM thermal module (Clip-on thermal module), which guarantees the detection of heat traces not only in the dark but also in smoke, fog and other harsh climatic conditions, while maintaining IR (InfraRed) capabilities. The COTM module also can use data imaging (maps, photos or videos) from commonly used external data sources with SVGA, VGA, NTSC, PAL resolution.

Visitors will definitely not miss the PUMA infantry fighting vehicle in the exhibition space of the German company PSM. BVP PUMA, thanks to its design and new versions, is considered the best and most modern BVP currently established in NATO. PUMA is able to effectively operate in urban environments and also offers a wide range of modifications. PUMA is a combat vehicle principally designed as BVP for operations within NATO and suppresses any complicating national peculiarities. However, it is also possible to easily implement requirements of national customers while maintaining full interoperability within NATO or smaller groups, such as V-4 etc.

The exhibition stand of BAE Systems will feature CV90 – the most widely used and produced infantry fighting vehicle in the world. It was developed as a model range of vehicles characterized by a high degree of mobility and operability on any terrain, high durability and high firepower, including defence against airborne means of combat. The platform is being continually evolved and modernized, and so among 1300 vehicles sold to date to seven countries there are 11 different vehicle variants. Due to the relatively lightweight frame the CV90 is able to manoeuvre on the battlefield better than traditional tanks; the version CV90120 armed with 120 mm cannon even equals tanks in firepower.

In the category of transport vehicles, the offer will be extended by the ALFAVARIA Group. Their custom-made multipurpose pull-out containers for pick-up vehicles are an innovative solution for utility vehicle storage space; the floor boxes are lockable, weather resistant and can be pulled out 100%.
