Operating over water exposes rotary-wing and non-fast jet aircrew to unique risks. Our immersion protective garments are engineered to deliver critical flotation, thermal insulation, and flame resistance, ensuring survivability in the most demanding maritime conditions.
Drawing on Beaufort’s core technologies, these next-generation garments are lightweight, low-bulk, and designed for extended wear in confined cabins. Rapid donning capability and seamless integration with rotary and non-fast jet platforms allow crews to stay agile, protected, and mission-ready in all environments.
The Next Generation Immersion Protective Garment (IPG) is engineered for rotary-wing and non-fast jet crews operating over water. Providing advanced thermal insulation, flame resistance, and integrated buoyancy, it delivers essential protection without compromising mobility or comfort during extended missions.
The Aircrew Immersion Protective Garment Variant A is purpose-built for rotary-wing crews, delivering flame resistance, thermal insulation, and waterproof protection. Featuring added equipment pockets, it ensures safety, comfort, and mission performance in demanding over-water operations.
We understand the unique challenges faced by rotary-wing and multi-role aircrew operating over water. Our immersion protective garments integrate proven Beaufort technology to deliver thermal protection, flame resistance, and buoyancy — ensuring safety, comfort, and operational effectiveness in the harshest maritime environments.
Our next-generation IPGs and specialist garments are engineered for rapid donning, ergonomic fit, and seamless integration with rotary and non-fast jet aircraft systems, safeguarding crews while optimising performance and survivability in critical missions.
