Specialized Equipment and Expertise

The Dräger Engineered Solutions division will present technologies such as the CBS 1000 Cabin Breathing System and the ESS II fresh air system, designed for sealed vehicle cabins. The Wildfire training tool WFS 1000 sandbox and the HPS AquaRescue Water Rescue Helmet will also be major attractions.
