Genevec Enterprises is a subsidiary company of Archangel Heavy Industries. One of the many things that Genevec produces is personal equipment.

1. Genevec - 814 Para-wing Glider:
This is a backpack unit similar in purpose to a parachute. The user is released from an aircraft or tall structure and, once clear, activates the Para-wing. This causes the backpack to unfold into a wing/glider. The user can control the Para-wing very precisely and glide down to the target, where the backpack can be shed. The Para-wing will just as easily transform back into its backpack configuration. The greatest benefit of the Para-wing is its stealth-like characteristics. Since it employs no power source, there is no energy emission or noise to give the user away. It is even made of radar absorbing material.

Maximum Speed: NA, it is a glider.
Maximum Range: NA, it is a glider.

2. Genevec - 820 Survival Kit:
This is very popular with adventurers and other travelers. This survival kit contains all of the basic items necessary when traveling through the wilderness. The kit is quite similar to the NG-S2 Basic Survival Pack offered by Northern Gun and was introduced at about the same time.

The kit, when packed up, is a little smaller than a typical briefcase, although it does come in backpack and other configurations. The G-820 SK is standard equipment on all Gabriel Defense Force vehicles, especially aircraft. This gives the pilots and occupants a means with which to survive if they crash or become disabled away from friendly lines. There is usually at least one pack for every two crew members (one each if there is space).

Size: Approximately 4" x 18" x 14"
Weight: 12 lb (4.5 kg)

The tent is insulated and will keep occupants warm down to about -40 degrees F (-40 decrees C). The tent also works the opposite way: keeping those inside cool when it is hot outside. The tent has a moisture collection system that captures all the moisture that evaporates off of the occupants, thus increasing water supplies by 20%.
