All developments
14 products in seven areas: from software platforms and communications to vehicles and protection systems. Every project has an honest status.
About the project
The project centers on creating a single integrated kit whose components are designed from the outset for compatibility, ergonomics, and interaction with one another.
From basic protective gear to an intelligent wearable system with sensors, augmented reality, and mechanical body support.
WARDEN is not a single piece of equipment. It is a comprehensive platform for personal outfitting.
A complete set that works together
Equipment should be a system, not a set of separate items
A modern soldier’s kit may include body armor, a helmet, load-bearing systems, communications gear, electronics, power sources, and specialized equipment.
Each additional component raises the requirements for compatibility, weight distribution, comfort, and maintenance.
WARDEN takes an integrated approach to equipment development.
The fit of protective elements, mounts, equipment placement, cable infrastructure, and load distribution are treated as parts of a single design.
A modular architecture makes it possible to assemble different kit configurations while maintaining compatibility between the main components.

1
All devices. One interface
Personal digital hub
WARDEN envisions a compact wearable hub that brings together the kit’s compatible electronic components.
The hub works with a smartphone or a specialized PDA running AGATA.
Through a single interface, the user will be able to get information on connected devices, battery status, sensors, and available functions.
