Flying Parajet & Hovercraft

The PARAJET: Since implementing the Parajet, flying cops of the Palm Bay Police Department have been able to spot stolen vehicles and locate marijuana grow fields from the sky. As lightweight aluminum is cut and tooled, it will become the frame of a personal flying machine. Used by military operatives, drug enforcement agents, and first responders – it gets you in and out fast, whether you are carrying a camera or a gun. So whether the mission is bringing back intel, getting a beat on contraband, or locating a victim in harsh terrain, the Parajet turns the well-trained pilot into a spy in the sky. The HOVERCRAFT: When PVC panels are filled with air, they’ll transform a boat into a hovercraft. The hovercraft is a hybrid vehicle, propelled by air that can float on water, land, ice, or sand, which makes it the perfect vehicle for troop carriers, amphibious assault, and search and rescue. When an F-16 went down in Utah’s Great Salt Lake mudflats, hovercrafts raced to the scene over land, mud and water, and were able to reach the pilot in time to carry him to safety and recover sensitive cargo at the crash site. With its wide skirt and low center of gravity, the hovercraft is almost un-sinkable. Even at top speeds of 100 kilometers an hour. Part boat, part airship, all terrain, the hovercraft is mission ready, no matter where that mission takes it. The CAMO JACKET: The Canadian Military’s Department of Defense camouflage print, called “CADPAT,” is the latest in combat wear. It takes 54 individual pieces of rugged textile to form the camo jacket. The modern camo jacket not only also camouflages the wearer during the day but also at night - by masking his infrared signature. A classified formula in the dye makes the jacket almost undetectable to night vision scopes, and it will be worn from basic training to the combat zone. It’s made to look good while not being seen.
