COMPREHENSIVE PROTECTION: More than 200 high-ranking visitors including representatives of the German parliament,
foreign embassies, German MoD, Federal Criminal Police Office, Federal Office for Defence Procurement and Technology
as well a numerous parts of the German armed forces (amongst others Special Forces Command) witnessed a live presentation
of the new Protective Shield system at the proving ground in Unterlüß. As seen, the guests welcomed the opportunity
to find out more about the capabilities of the networked command and control, reconnaissance and effector systems. The
main task was to see how messages from security installations are processed in the combat information center CIC, and how
countermeasure actions are launched. The Protective Shield system was proven to be highly effective in every single exercise
– persons approaching a fence monitored electronically by camera systems, detecting snipers on the property by means of
the Sniper Location System, or engaging approaching mortar grenades with the aid of the Skyshield air defence systems.
