RAP4 is proud of our role in the Athens Maritime Security Conference 2009. The prestigious event covered the latest maritime intelligence, policy positions, and security issues concerning maritime operators. RAP4 participated in education and demonstration events concerning piracy, terrorism, and other crimes targeting the industry. RAP4 and NGK Shipping Ltd showcased and demonstrated the latest less lethal products that keep crews and cargo safe in dangerous waters.

The RAP4 T68 Land Warrior less lethal launcher was tremendously popular at the AMSC. The Land Warrior employs the innovative SplitFire design, a technological milestone that earned the Law Enforcement Technology Innovation Award of 2009. The SplitFire component of the T68 platform allows users to select between two different less lethal projectile types carried simultaneously onboard the less lethal launcher...so trained personnel can expertly meet escalating and deescalating threats with the appropriate countermeasure.
