Beth El Industries and DRS Technologies have entered into a teaming agreement to support the U.S. market for CBRN filtration. Beth El will be exhibiting at AUSA 2013, Washington, D.C.

DRS is a U.S.-based supplier of tactical environmental control units and environmental conditioning systems (ECS) for military vehicles. Beth El has been designing and manufacturing CBRN filtration systems for the past 40 years, its technologies used by NATO and by over 60 armies worldwide.

Combining the ECU/ECS with CBRN filtration is a natural next step, meant to deliver a complete environmental protection system to warfighters in forward operating bases (tents, mobile, and fixed shelters) as well as vehicles.

The Beth-El Industries filtration systems remove various contaminants from air entering into protected spaces: dust, toxins and even radioactive fallout. The same systems also clean the air already inside the protected spaces, removing any unwanted elements. The systems are easy to install, have low energy requirements and can be modified to protect almost any space: From armored vehicles to huge halls.

Beth-El Industries was established in the 1970s by a small community of deeply devout German-Christians, a very unusual and controversial origin for an Israeli company. Although met with some hostility after immigrating to Israel in 1963, the small group prospered and today Beth-El is considered a world expert in air filtration.
