Global Seating Systems

Website: www.globalseating.com

Global Seating Systems (GSS) has the battlefield-proven credentials as a world leader in the development and production of soldier survivability systems for armored and unarmored vehicles. US-based GSS produces the most advanced blast-absorbing and blast-deflecting seating and restraint systems for the latest generations of armored and soft-skinned combat vehicles. These systems not only minimize the impact of a range of kinetic threats, but also protect against the effects of accidents and post-blast dynamics.

Briefly put, GSS’ role is to save lives and reduce injuries in combat, training, and other operational conditions, given that armor alone does not safeguard against the two stages of an explosive blast, and that conventional seating and restraint systems cannot adequately protect troops against the effects of collisions, rollovers, and other incidents.
