Gunner Restraints / Top Cover Harnesses / Standing Positions
SCRHOTH has multiple designs to meet various vehicle applications.
SCRHOTH’s Gunner Restraint Systems (GRS) have been fitted to over 160,000 vehicles for operations in Iraq, Afghanistan and other trouble spots world-wide.
Inflatable / Military Airbag Technology
SCHROTH has developed and delivered four-point restraints with integrated airbag systems for 125 German Boxer Armored Personnel Carrier (APC) vehicles.
The SCHROTH inflatable restraint system offers numerous innovative features including shoulder harnesses fitted with belt-integrated airbags.
In the event of a crash, sensors measure the resulting acceleration and trigger the gas generators that produce micro pyrotechnical charges allowing the airbags to be deployed within a fraction of a second.
Although airbags have been in commercial vehicles for years, there are very few applications of airbag technology for a production ground vehicle developed specifically for military applications.
This inflatable restraint brings state-of-the-art protection by integrating the airbag into the shoulder harness and providing protection for side-facing occupants.
