The 2025 Global Public Security Cooperation Forum in Lianyungang transformed into a real-world tech expo this week, showcasing innovations that blend sci-fi imagination with practical security solutions. From mobile drone command centers to heat-resistant tactical gear, the event highlighted China's latest advancements in community safety technologies.
Attendees witnessed demonstrations of long-range restraint systems capable of immobilizing suspects from 50 meters away, while magnetic net launchers offered non-lethal alternatives for crowd control. A standout innovation was the 'Drone HQ' – a fully equipped mobile command station enabling rapid deployment of aerial surveillance fleets.
"These technologies represent a new era in public safety," explained a robotics engineer from Shanghai, pointing to camouflage suits that adapt to urban environments. "We're focusing on solutions that protect both officers and civilians during high-risk operations."
The forum attracted security experts from 38 countries and regions, with particular interest in thermal-resistant materials tested under extreme conditions. Business analysts noted growing international demand for such technologies, particularly from Southeast Asian markets investing in smart city infrastructure.
While the showcase emphasized technological progress, organizers stressed these tools aim to complement – not replace – human security personnel. As global communities face evolving safety challenges, events like this forum highlight Asia's growing role in shaping next-generation security solutions.
