Corporate Air Parts launches survival bag 'Land Shark'

However, the ability to completely mask a user’s infrared signature is where Land Shark goes above and beyond in terms of evasion. The same aluminized liner that combats hypothermia also eliminates a user’s infrared emissions, effectively making them invisible to high-tech, enemy body heat detection equipment.

The Land Shark is also an effective tool in the water when used in conjunction with a life vest. A user can configure the Land Shark to completely enclose the wearer, protecting them from chilling sea spray, the beating sun and breaking waves.

The rate of heat exchange in water is 25 times greater than on land. The Land Shark prevents hypothermia by retaining radiated body heat, which significantly slows the drain of vital body heat from the user. The same aluminized film which prevents hypothermia is also radar reflective, making the user visible to search aircraft and high-speed vessels moving at night.

Marine predators are also a concern for any survivor stuck in open water. The Land Shark protects the user by altering their shape in the water and reducing flailing movements, presenting a less attractive appearance to predators.

The waterproof construction deters shark attacks by preventing blood, body oils, and waste from entering open water. A Sea-Dog Clip attached to the Land Shark’s 550 paracord allows survivors to stay close together by clipping their Land Sharks to one another.
