Following the recent successful sale of DefenCell to the Irish Defence Force, J & S Franklin will be exhibiting from their stand number BI-5 at DVD2008 organised by the UK Ministry of Defence.
DefenCell which is currently in service with the British Army in Afghanistan and the Irish Defence Force in Chad, will be displayed on the stand as a sangar defensive position, highlighting the flexibility and diversity that DefenCell can offer as a force protection system.Defencell is a cellular, rapidly deployable force protection system, that can be used in a wide variety of military and civil defence roles. These include walls, sangars, bunkers, roadways, vehicle barriers and flood protection. DefenCell's ballistic qualities have been established through extensive independent testing by Advantica and full reports are available on request. DefenCell offers a number of significant advantages over other Force Protection Systems, notably it is one-man portable and deployable, its weight (being up to 10 times lighter than comparable products), it requires 5 times less transport volume, and being non-metallic with no cages or hinges, there is no secondary shrapnel or communications interference. DefenCell is also made in the UK.
