miniROS™
AVI's miniature Remote Observation System (miniROS) is a gateway product that
creates a platform for the integration of sensors, actuators and bearers for the
purpose of tactical surveillance, targeting and acquisition.
FES
The AVI Field Ethernet System (FES) is ideal for military Deployable Local Area
Networks (DLAN). The system is designed to provide rugged, durable and reliable
networking devices in a small modular form to provide high speed and flexible field
networks.
Deployable Structures International is focused on bringing logistically sensible and
easily constructed shelter systems to a wide range of customers who need quality
facilities in remote, difficult or harsh environments.
Many years of living and working in such areas and dealing with the frustrations
associated with building structures designed by people not always aware of the
issues faced by remote constructors has led to the development of the company's
flagship product FLATTS (FLAT Transportable Structures).
The FLATTS Rapid Construction System is adaptable to a wide range of shelter
and general building applications and can be built to two storys with a
conventional integrated trussed roof system.
A worldwide network of highly skilled and capable manufacturing licensees has
been established to address supply chain issues, all building the same product to
rigidly controlled specification under QA means your needs in shelter, however
significant, can and will be met by the DSI Global Team.

CAPABILITIESManufacture & installation of a range of
lightweight passive fire protection [PFP] systems for
high performance commercial and military craft and or
land based vehiclesManufacture & installation of thermal
insulation for engine exhaust systems for commercial
and military craft and or vehicles.DISCRIMINATORSThe
Rapid Access Composite [RAC] products have a lighter
installed weight than competitive products resulting in
reduced fuel consumption and increased freight
payloads for life of vessel. The RAC system is fast to
install saving time in the building of the vessel. Reduced
spares inventory The RAC system is faster to remove /
replace in service providing easier access to shipboard
services to undertake maintenance throughout the
service life of vessel .Reduction in corrosive exposure
QUALITY APPROVALS / CERTIFICATIONColbeck &
Gunton complies with ISO 9001:2000 and EU certification
for passive fire protection systems. A60 systems have
USCG approvals. Marine PFP systems comply with IMO
requirements.

Based in Sydney, Australia
System usage today
•
System was developed in close conjunction with the
Australian Defence Force (ADF)
•
A system of 8 targets is deployed at a training facility
in Western Australia
Marathon Robotics is displaying its free-ranging live-fire target system, "Rover".
Rover is a robotic target which emulates human motion. Autonomous operation
allows the targets to move in and out of buildings, out of line-of- sight, going
anywhere a person could go. Compared to static pop-ups or rail- based targets,
Rover provides a step-change in realistic and challenging training, while keeping
infrastructure requirements to a bare minimum.
With the Rover system, a single instructor can conduct complex long-duration
scenarios with multiple targets. No need to use a joystick - just give the command
and off they go, following a pre-orchestrated scenario while reporting their positions
back to instructors in real-time. When a target is shot, it provides instant visual
feedback by stopping and dropping its mannequin. It simultaneously sends a
message to other targets, who can react by running for cover.
Metal Storm- a developer of a fast deployment technology that is currently
in consideration by the US Marines and others. The technology is best

rates of fire and no moving parts except the munitions.
Metal Storm products are now in consideration with the US Army and
Marine Corps as well as requested by other allied armed forces.
