Watchbird® is a Norwegian medical technology company, dedicated to developing solutions for DETECTING and PROTECTING agaist health hazards which individual operators may be exposed to during daily work, training and operations.

Watchbird® is developing advanced CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear) sensor projects aimed at real-time detection, identification, and monitoring of hazardous agents to enhance situational awareness and operational safety in high-risk environments. In parallel, the company has developed the innovative and patented product SAFEgaiter™ that protects against low level hazardous exposure.

Watchbirds® goal is to improve operational capability of the armed forces and to protect military and civilian personnel from hazardous impact.

Who we serve

  • Military

    Military personnel operate in environments with persistent dust, debris, and combustion exposure. Gas Masks are deployed when threats are confirmed, but everyday exposure often occurs below that threshold.

    Watchbird develops low-burden respiratory protection solutions that integrate seamlessly with standard gear, providing continuous exposure reduction without replacing existing protective systems.

  • Police

    Police officers operate in dynamic urban situations where airborne hazards can arise unexpectedly — from riot control to building entry and disaster response.

    Watchbird provides practical respiratory protection solutions that support operational mobility and communication while helping reduce exposure in high-particulate environments.

  • Special operators

    Special operators conduct high-risk missions in confined, urban, and austere environments where exposure to dust, smoke, and structural debris is common, yet operational speed and agility are critical.

    Watchbird provides low-profile respiratory mitigation solutions designed to remain unobtrusive, compatible with advanced gear systems, and ready for immediate use — supporting exposure reduction without compromising mobility, communication, or mission tempo.
