Vojenský výzkumný ústav (the military research institute ), headquartered in Brno, is a state enterprise established by the Ministry of Defence of the Czech Republic in 2012, with the character of a research organisation that successfully builds on its institutional predecessors and thus has a more than 60-year tradition in the field of defence research and development.
The military research Institute is a sought-after partner for foreign customers from the USA, Switzerland, Italy, France, Germany, Slovakia, and others. It is also a sought-after partner for cooperation in international projects of the European Defence Agency (EDA) and the European Space Agency (ESA).
The ain mission of the Institute is research, experimental development, expert support, special services, and product implementation, including strategic deliveries for military and security applications. The Institute's field of competence is focused on military and security aspects of protection in three main areas:
Chemical, biological and radiation protection is focused on the detection and identification of chemical warfare agents (CWAs) and ionising radiation (IR), automation and robotization of CBRN reconnaissance, increasing the efficiency and reliability of chemical protection equipment and new decontamination technologies, training of specialists using live highly toxic substances.
The section presents at the Fair SOV-SLOV CBRN sampling kit and CBRNT-003 transportation kit.
