Frontiers, a subsidiary of Abu Dhabi Ship Building, today launched its state-of-the-art eKnight-suit at the International Defence Exhibition and Conference, IDEX 2015.
Based on a Future Soldier concept, the eKnight-suit is a modular, scalable and system diagnostic offering that integrates arrays of sensors and communications systems to provide infantry with significantly higher combat potential. It also helps identify potential capabilities that may be required by soldiers in the future.
With C4I technologies ( Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence) at its core, the eKnight-suit also has the ability to provide soldiers with information and ensure instant connectivity to command and control.
Khalfan Al Shamsi, Frontiers CEO, said, "At Frontiers, we aspire to contribute to the growth of the technology sector in the UAE by developing state-of-the-art solutions that further cement the country’s status as a leader for advanced technology adoption in the region. eKnight is a technological breakthrough for the military and defence industry, delivered to the world from Abu Dhabi by Frontiers experts." He added that the company will continue to pave the way for technological excellence in the UAE’s security and defence industry by developing an integrated system for soldiers of the future.
