Ventus Respiratory Technologies’ Post

Available Now. You can’t shoot, move, communicate and treat, if you can’t breathe. Ventus Respiratory Technologies has introduced a new standard of respiratory protection for law enforcement, the armed forces, and first responders worldwide. The TR2 protects the wearer from exposure to hazardous particulate matter with class-leading filtration in a compact, lightweight form that designed to integrate with existing kit and equipment while enabling situational awareness or the ability to accurately fire a weapon. Contaminated particulate exposure is highly prevalent in military and law enforcement occupations. Generally, these populations are issued gas masks but are not equipped with an effective, low-burden particulate respirator that ensures operational readiness by reducing the risk of respiratory illness; a likelihood nearly three times higher in military and law enforcement personnel compared to the civilian population. Frequent exposure to toxic particulate is often the result of combustion related activities or environments found in combat and/or training scenarios. This could include shooting, artillery, explosive breaching devices, environmental or structure fires, burn pits, burning of fossil fuels, or threats from specific theatres of operation, such as desert sand.

An essential component of ONE9 has always been our team's experiences in military operations, intelligence, law, policy, and venture capital. These experiences have not only given us the ability to build and grow truly innovative defence technology companies, but have also allowed us to collect some wild stories along the way. This story is no exception. Our latest short documentary tells the true story of how Canadian light infantry soldiers from 3PPCLI, worked with a top American intelligence agency to locate an (under-construction) Al Qaeda anthrax research/manufacturing facility. Then a young officer on his first deployment, ONE9 founder and CEO, Glenn Cowan, recounts his experience with Operation Green Gopher and his role in assisting and escorting American intelligence officers and a captured Al Qaeda biological weapons scientist labelled, “Dr. Evil”. Throughout Operation Green Gopher, Canadian light infantry and US intelligence agencies searched for and ultimately discovered a biological/chemical weapons research/manufacturing facility at Tarnak Farms, a compound near Kandahar previously held by Al Qaeda.
