The development of the GPO 01 pyrotechnic suit was primarily focused on reducing the physiological load of the EOD and reducing the weight by approximately 20%.
The lightweight pyrotechnic suit provides a high level of protection and is designed to be worn over overalls.
Maximum protection is given to critical areas of the body, namely the neck, chest and groin.
The level of protection can be customised according to the customer's requirements. The ballistic resistance and the materials used are specified by the customer according to their requirements.
