NEW TECHNOLOGY & PRODUCTS

How New Technology & Products are part of the Urban Shield exercise.

Urban Shield 2012 will allow companies to place their products and technology directly into the hands of SWAT, Fire, EOD,  and EMS professionals. The SWAT and EMS scenarios take place between 0600 October 27 to 0600 hours October 29.  These scenarios run for approximately 1hour and 15 minutes and contain a brief and debrief.  The EOD and Fire scenarios will take place for 12 hours each day October 27 and 28.  Vendors are STRONGLY encouraged to be at the scenarios their product is involved in to ensure the correct presentation of the product and its use.   At the end of every scenario the teams are questioned concerning the benefits and drawbacks of each piece of technology used in that scenario.  This is invaluable real-time feedback for vendor product.
