Rosoboronexport Presents A Unique Metal Detector with Built-In Stun Gun for Security Services
Rosoboronexport JSC, a subsidiary of the Rostec State Corporation, has launched a new metal detector and stun gun combo called the EM-411 Cerberus into the global security equipment market.
The device is intended for use by security and law enforcement personnel at all facilities that require control of the carry of prohibited items and enhanced security measures: transport hubs, infrastructure and sensitive facilities, public gathering places.
A wide range of security equipment is available on the market today. However, the uniqueness of Cerberus is that it combines two products: a sensitive metal detector and a powerful stun gun. The product is unrivalled anywhere in the world.
Equipped with separate hand-held metal detector and stun gun, a security officer is forced to waste time changing equipment in an emergency. During this time, a suspect may attack the officer, surrounding people or try to hide. The metal detector with built-in stun gun significantly improves security control and helps respond quickly to challenges to public security.
To switch Cerberus from metal detector to stun gun mode, you have to press one button. Even a shortterm exposure is enough to cause a sensitive painful effect, while an exposure lasting 2-3 seconds will put the intruder in shock with a loss of orientation in space without causing irreversible harm to life or health. The
stun gun is a non-lethal weapon and the effect of its use is temporary.
Rosoboronexport expects that Cerberus will attract close attention from law enforcement agencies of the partner countries, anti-terrorist structures, as well as security services at high-value transport and infrastructure facilities.
Modern electroshock weapons are an integral part of the armament of law enforcement agencies in many countries of the world. Today, Rosoboronexport is actively promoting the products of leading Russian enterprises on the world market.
IDF Commences Training in Elbit Systems’ Battlegroup Mission Center
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) recently initiated a series of brigade level exercises in Elbit Systems’ new Brigade and Battlegroup Mission Training Center (B2MTC). The new training center immerses commanders, headquarters staff and two subordinate command levels in highfidelity combat situations in actual battle zone territory. B2MTC presents commanders and their staff with a realistic operational picture, enables them to operate a range of assets, compels them to respond to real-time changes and requires them to cope with tactical communications that are realistically impacted by various effects.
Military operations are becoming increasingly complex, while large-scale exercise opportunities occur
less frequently due to cost, logistics and environmental
