Karcher with Futuretech.

Germany's Karcher reports that its new NBC protective suit, the Safeguard 3002-A1, is made from a homogeneous filter material which provides a light weight and advanced protective properties. The Canadian Army has recently ordered 15,000 of the suits to augment the approximately 30,000 already in sin-vice. The 3002-A1 consists of one activated carbon and several textile layers that provides nuclear, biological and chemical agent threat protection as well as a proprietary aerosol protection feature. The company will release a lightweight version of the suit presumably later in 2007.
