SP Guide Publications puts forth a well compiled articulation of issues, pursuits and accomplishments of the Indian Army, over the years
I am confident that SP Guide Publications would continue to inform, inspire and influence.
Since, its inception in 1964, SP Guide Publications has consistently demonstrated commitment to high-quality journalism in the aerospace and defence sectors, earning a well-deserved reputation as Asia's largest media house in this domain. I wish SP Guide Publications continued success in its pursuit of excellence.
FN Herstal will present its latest innovation in the field of kinetic energy less lethal systems in November at the MILIPOL Paris 2023 trade show. The new FN Smart ProtectoR®-303T less lethal solution detects human heads so as to drastically reduce the risk of serious and potentially irreversible injuries.
The brand-new FN Smart ProtectoR®-303T is primarily used by law enforcement where the use of lethal force must be avoided, such as crowd control, social disturbance, riots, day to day patrol and public safety for large events.
The FN Smart ProtectoR®-303T is designed around the long-proven shoulder-fired FN 303® less lethal platform, in service with a large number of law enforcement agencies, special units and military forces worldwide. The FN 303® combines optimum safety, accuracy and efficiency and is the first level of a graduated and proportionate response to an unarmed threat. Accurate enough to selectively engage an individual, the projectiles break up on impact to avoid penetration, and deliver a highly dissuasive impact similar to a baton strike beyond the range of hand-thrown projectiles.
The FN Smart ProtectoR®-303T retains these capabilities with an important added safety feature.
Building on two decades of global success with the FN 303® launcher that offers the best efficiency-accuracysafety combination available on the market, FN Herstal brings an unequalled level of safety with the FN Smart ProtectoR®-303T.
