High-Tech

Designed for the circumstances (?)

Field situation Lack of infrastructure Weather difficulties Easy to move (to keep mobility) Robust No / rare need of spare parts

Does your equipment meets them you are dreaming about?

High-Tech: X-ray – Gamma inspection systems

Vehicle and Cargo Inspection Systems (VACIS)

Need of basic infrastructure e.g. mains voltage

Limited mobility at the operational area

Very expensiveExtreme vulnerability

What do we need?

Solutions that work locally Proven cost-effectiveness Excellent return on investments Trade facilitation vs. security It fits for both the Mission and can be the subject of

Donation Donation + training (know-how)

Availability No local production of equipment Rare production of/ accessibility to „Mission Sets” Almost nobody provides equipment and training „in a

packet” (know-how transfer)

Conclusions

Meet “new” challenges Multi purpose equipmentSolutions should be customised - locationLong term thinking Well selected kits with robust elements Training coursesNo threats for its users and their proximity Cost efficiency with all advantages and capacities of

domestic producers and dealers
