State Military Scientific-Technical Center Delta is engaged in Defense Industry and provides technical support for Georgian Armed Forces concerning ammunition, military vehicles, specialized buildings and fortifications, implementation/application of new weapon systems and their subsequent support, humanitarian demining and demilitarization works.
 

Held at the centre's testing grounds and involving high-ranking defense officials and military commanders, the testing marked the final phase to kick-off an "unprecedented" deal between the Ministry of Defense and Delta. The Georgian ministry said it had commissioned the centre for a contract worth 5 million GEL (about 2 million USD/1.78 million EUR*) involving production of the personnel protection equipment for the troops.

Based on technical requests from the armed forces, the vests and helmets will represent "contemporary, highest" standards for protection, said a release by the defense agency.

Delta first supplied Georgian troops with its vests and helmets last year, when peacekeeping units serving abroad were equipped. The deal will now be extended to the rest of the armed forces' personnel.
