2019 winners
Crisis management
BLOCK ENGINEERING
LaserWarn PLUS
Booth 5 D 068
USA
Description: The new LaserWarn is the only eye-safe, laser-based standoff detection product that can detect and identify multiple threats at a distance. One of the biggest drawbacks of CBRNE detection is that most technologies require a person in a suit with a handheld device approaching the possible threat. The LaserWarn product line can detect these threats in real time up to 300m away without putting personnel in danger. Advanced artificial intelligence permits simultaneous detection of most CWAs & toxic industrial chemicals today, and explosives detection in the near future. The new user interface provides red/green simplicity & sophisticated functionality. It can be deployed to protect large areas up to 90,000 sq.m or 300m of fenceline. It enhances security at government buildings, military bases, airports, metro stations, embassies, and sports stadiums. We are also seeing rapid growth in environmental safety for chemical plants, oil & gas refineries and pipelines, and fuel storage depots. The LaserWarn PLUS via US Government programs has been demonstrated to detect residual fingerprints and other traces on vehicles at standoff distances from up to 30 meters.

FORTIFYIQ
FortifyIQ - A pre-silicon hardware design evaluation and protection software suite to fortify secure chips against power-consumption-based side-channel attacks
Booth 4 S 015
USA
Description: FortifyIQ - A pre-silicon hardware design evaluation and protection software suite to fortify secure chips against power consumption- based side-channel attacks. Side-channel attack on the microchip’s secure element can disable the lights in the whole city, turn off or accelerate trains, or disrupt any of its critical infrastructure. This threat vector is relatively new and more dangerous, as the attacks increasingly target the hardware layer, as opposed to the better-protected software and network layers. These side-channel attacks include Differential Power Analysis (DPA), Simple Power Analysis (SPA), Electromagnetic Emissions (EME), and Fault Injection (FI). FortifyIQ offers a pre-silicon hardware design evaluation and protection software suite and side-channel attack-resistant IP Cores. We advance maximum security against side-channel attacks at design stage, making protection less expensive, and, therefore, easier to build. According to Professor Adi Shamir, PhD., The ‘S’ in RSA and the Turing Prize Winner, “FortifyIQ’s solution has the potential of dramatically reducing the cost and delay associated with the manufacturing of DPA- protected devices...” Dr. Shamir ascertains that “This is an innovative solution to a really important problem, produced by a first-rate team of developers.”

OUVRY SAS
Extraction bag for CBRN contaminated victims
Booth 5 D 144
France
Description: In case of a chemical contamination (on the national territory of for deployed forces) involving contaminated victims in life threatening emergency, it is sometimes necessary to extract them to a hospital. The question to be solved is how to carry easily a contaminated victim without contaminating the vehicle used nor the medical staff. There is no appropriate product on the market easy to be deployed without any maintenance. The CBRN extraction bag has been specially designed for the transport of CBRN contaminated casualties, or anyone potentially contaminated, directly from the field to the hospital or first medical point, while allowing the realization of emergency medical procedures during the transport. It ensures containment of liquid and vapor contaminants, to avoid contamination of medical team, transport personnel, vehicle or aircraft used to extract the victim. The extraction bag also ensures self-decontamination of the victim inside the bag thanks to two technologies which reduces liquid and vapor contamination level inside the bag. Main relevant features and advantages of the product are: fast and easy deployment, small footprint, no maintenance, no consumables, contamination containment, ensures self-decontamination of the victim, enables emergency medical care during the transport (access to victim’s respiratory tract, emergency access to the victim for stabilization, perfusion cable pathways, clear window to monitor the victim’s progress…), lightweight, decontaminable, compatible with all types of vehicles, stretcher and compatible with scanner.
