GA-ASI and Tactical Air Support Showcase How Passive Sensing and Semi-Autonomous Aircraft Close Kill Chains Versus Adversaries

Posted on Wednesday, 16 September, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

GA-ASI AND TACTICAL AIR SUPPORT SHOWCASE HOW PASSIVE SENSING AND SEMI-AUTONOMOUS AIRCRAFT CLOSE KILL CHAINS VERSUS ADVERSARIES

GA-ASI and Tactical Air Support Showcase How Passive Sensing and Semi-Autonomous Aircraft Close Kill Chains Versus Adversaries | General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc.

SAN DIEGO – 15 September 2026 – On July 21, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) and Tactical Air Support, Inc. collaborated on a flight test during a large force exercise that demonstrated Infrared Search and Track (IRST) Multi-Ship Ranging (MSR). The test paired a manned Tactical Air Support F-5 Advanced Tiger with an unmanned GA-ASI Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) test aircraft, highlighting how Human-Machine Teaming closes the kill chain using passive sensors and autonomy.

Both the CCA test aircraft and the F-5 were equipped with GA-ASI’s TacACE^® (Tactical Autonomy Ecosystem) software, which is based on the latest Autonomy Government Reference Architecture (A-GRA), the Agile Mission Suite (AMS-GRA). Each aircraft also carried an infrared search-and-track sensor. The live exercise proved that a CCA and a manned fighter can collaborate to fuse sensor data from AMS-GRA-compliant sensors to track, engage, and eliminate an airborne target while using a Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) data link to accomplish seamless coordination between the two aircraft.

The demonstration utilized BLOS communication between the CCA and the airborne F-5, enabling the Advanced Tiger to send data about targets from an AMS-GRA-compatible system. These commands were relayed to the CCA’s TacACE system. This flight showed that many companies’ platforms can interoperate using the plug-and-play government reference architectures ecosystem. The U.S. Air Force isn’t locked into using a single vendor or system.

The CCA test mission with the F-5 Advanced Tiger is part of GA-ASI’s ongoing, coordinated campaign of flight tests that are building the foundation for operational human-machine teaming. Rather than a one-time demonstration, GA-ASI is executing a series of increasingly complex, operationally representative missions that combine live aircraft, live sensors, and mission autonomy. As a result, GA-ASI continues developing and testing the most capable and mission-ready autonomy-enabled and AMS-GRA-compliant CCAs in the world by showcasing real mission concepts of operations.

“With this flight, we moved beyond simply flying an autonomous jet and showed how a manned fighter and an autonomous CCA can work together to find, track, and engage a target using passive sensors and shared autonomy,” said Michael Roberts, Advanced Programs Emerging Technology Director at GA-ASI. “This is the kind of operationally relevant mission that will allow autonomous CCAs to deploy alongside manned aircraft and deliver real combat capability for the warfighter. The flight test marks another milestone in warfighter adoption of the CCA solution and confirms its readiness for production.”

Human-Machine Teaming — the pairing of human-flown warplanes with large numbers of highly autonomous wingmen — is the future of airpower. Recent F-35, F-22, and F-5 Advanced Tiger demonstrations validated the hardware, autonomy software, mission systems, networks, and other capabilities needed for this new chapter in combat.

IWI, Taran Tactical, Atlas Gunworks, and Charter Arms Among 20+ Manufacturers Connecting Websites to Local Gun Store Inventory

Posted on Wednesday, 16 September, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

IWI, Taran Tactical, Atlas Gunworks, and Charter Arms Among 20+ Manufacturers Connecting Websites to Local Gun Store Inventory7

58New technology routes manufacturers’ marketing spend into foot traffic and sales for the 4,200+ dealers who stock their products.

Omaha, Neb. (September 2026) – The firearms industry has a path-to-purchase problem no other retail category shares. Consumers research online, but a majority of sales finish in person at a licensed dealer, and until now, no complete bridge connected the two. Manufacturers spend millions driving shoppers to product pages, while most local dealers stocking those products never see the customers that marketing paid for.

That is starting to change. More than 20 manufacturers, including IWI, Taran Tactical, Atlas Gunworks, and Charter Arms, have connected their websites to live dealer inventory, with five more brands set to launch in the next six weeks. When a shopper views a product on a participating brand’s site, they now see exactly which local gun stores, big-box retailers, and online dealers have it in stock at that moment. The system lists local shops with the product on the shelf first, so customers can walk in and buy the same day instead of paying transfer fees and waiting on an FFL transfer.

For dealers, the change is already showing up at the counter. Shops carrying participating brands report higher sales on those lines and a rise in first-time, walk-in customers who found them through a manufacturer’s website.

“We’ve seen 25 percent more sales on the brands that support us, and a big chunk of that is customers who had never bought from us before,” said Bill M., owner of Nagel’s Gun Shop. “Manufacturers and dealers should be partners, not adversaries.”

The scale behind the system comes from Gun Made’s consumer platform. More than 1.5 million people a year use www.gunmade.com to find where firearms and outdoor products are available, searching nearly 1 million SKUs across more than 4,200 integrated stores, including Bass Pro Shops, Cabela’s, Sportsman’s Warehouse, and Academy Sports, as well as independent dealers and major online retailers, like Brownells, Midway USA, Optics Planet, Euro Optic, and Natchez. That figure does not count the shoppers searching directly on the manufacturer websites that use Gun Made’s tools. The company’s Product Locator, which Gun Made calls the first complete solution built specifically for the firearms industry to show live inventory from local dealers, big-box retailers, and online sellers in one place, updates every 15 minutes, installs with a few lines of code, and enforces minimum advertised price (MAP) rules automatically.

“Almost every firearm sold in America goes through a local dealer, but the path from a manufacturer’s website to that dealer’s counter never existed. Manufacturers were spending millions on marketing products that customers couldn’t figure out how to buy or see in person. At the same time, local gun stores, the backbone of this industry, watched everything move online,” commented Brady Kirkpatrick, founder of Gun Made. “We built the bridge. Now that marketing spend supports the dealers stocking those products, and customers can see who has it nearby, walk in today, and get their hands on the product before they buy.”

Gun Made does not sell firearms, takes no listing fees, and sends every customer directly to the dealer. Dealers list for free, and the company positions itself as a partner to both sides of the counter rather than a competitor to anyone in the industry.

Kirkpatrick continued, “We’re not trying to compete with brands, dealers, or anyone else. We’re trying to make the entire path to purchase work better for the whole industry, and that only happens if dealers sell more and manufacturers sell more at the same time.”

Manufacturers can learn more at https://www.gunmade.com/solutions/manufacturers/. Dealers can list their inventory for free at https://www.gunmade.com/solutions/dealers/.

About Gun Made:

Gun Made is the firearms industry’s largest product search platform, built to connect the online path to purchase with the local stores where sales actually happen. More than 1.5 million consumers a year use gunmade.com to search nearly 1 million SKUs and find live inventory across 4,200+ local gun stores, big-box retailers, and online dealers. Through its Product Locator technology, Gun Made partners with more than 20 manufacturers to route website traffic directly to the dealers stocking their products, prioritizing local stores with items in stock, enforcing MAP pricing automatically, and sending 100 percent of every sale to the dealer. Gun Made sells nothing and is free for dealers. Learn more at https://www.gunmade.com/.

Founded in 1996, TriStar Arms has grown into one of the firearms industry’s most respected names in value-driven sporting firearms. Today, the company offers an extensive lineup of shotguns, rifles and pistols while remaining committed to the principles that have defined the brand for 30 years: quality, reliability, customer service and affordability.

Under the leadership of CEO Gus Bader, who continues to be involved in the company, TriStar Arms has experienced remarkable growth while staying true to its customer-first philosophy. Over the past three decades, the company has expanded its annual firearm sales more than twentyfold, increased overall business more than twenty-five times, grown its workforce fivefold and expanded its headquarters three separate times to support continued demand. That growth reflects not only the strength of the TriStar brand, but also the confidence that dealers, distributors and consumers continue to place in its products.

“Thirty years is a significant milestone for our company and one that wouldn’t have been possible without the loyalty of our customers, dealers, distributors and industry partners,” said Ryan Bader, President of TriStar Arms. “We’re grateful for the trust they’ve placed in TriStar over the years. As we celebrate this anniversary, we’re just as focused on the future as we are proud of our past, and we’re excited to continue delivering the quality, innovation and value that people have come to expect from TriStar Arms.”

Throughout its history, TriStar has built a reputation for identifying opportunities within the firearms market and developing products that meet the needs of hunters, clay target shooters and recreational firearm owners alike. By working closely with manufacturing partners and listening to customer feedback, the company has continually refined its product lineup while expanding into new categories and maintaining the exceptional value that has become synonymous with the TriStar name.

From the award-winning Viper Series that earned the respect of hunters across North America, to the Trinity over/under lineup that has become a favorite for upland hunting and clay shooting, and the TT-15 competition shotguns designed for dedicated trap shooters, TriStar has spent 30 years delivering firearms that offer exceptional performance and reliability at an outstanding value. That commitment continues to guide every new firearm introduced under the TriStar name.

As TriStar Arms celebrates its 30th anniversary, the company remains committed to building on its legacy through continued product innovation, strong dealer relationships and an unwavering dedication to customer service. With exciting new products and initiatives on the horizon, TriStar looks forward to serving the next generation of American shooters while remaining true to the values that have defined the company for three decades.

GA-ASI Opening a New Facility in Dayton, Ohio

Posted on Tuesday, 15 September, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

GA-ASI OPENING A NEW FACILITY IN DAYTON, OHIO

World Leader in Uncrewed Aircraft Establishing an Innovation Hub
for Hardware and Software Development Supporting USAF Programs

DAYTON – 14 September 2026 – General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI), the world leader in Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS), Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, JobsOhio and the Dayton Development Coalition today announced that GA-ASI is expanding its footprint with a new 22,000-square-foot innovation hub in Dayton, Ohio, focusing on hardware and software development for U.S. Air Force (USAF) programs. With the support of Synergy Building Systems, the new facility will open in Spring 2027 near Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB), home to the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) and the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL).

The new facility is in addition to GA-ASI’s existing location outside WPAFB that opened in 2014. The addition will expand GA-ASI’s local footprint by more than seven times the existing square footage. It is expected to employ 50 full-time employees initially, drawn primarily from the local community, with support from JobsOhio and the Dayton Development Coalition, which will help promote and fill these new positions. Anyone interested in applying for a position at GA-ASI should go to www.ga.com/careers.

“GA-ASI’s decision to choose Ohio for its new innovation hub speaks to Ohio’s aviation heritage and the ingenuity of our people,” said Ohio Governor Mike DeWine. “This continued growth is part of a long-term strategy to deliver the facilities, infrastructure and talent necessary to ensure UAS pioneers can scale operations and succeed here in Ohio.”

The facility will serve as a central hub for open, modular, and affordable hardware, software, and autonomy development, supporting rapid prototyping, integration, and testing of next-generation UAS capabilities. It will also feature a state-of-the-art mission operations center, enabling remote flight control of GA-ASI aircraft, as well as experimentation, training, and demonstration activities in close coordination with the company’s USAF and industry partners.

“Growing our footprint in Dayton allows GA-ASI to bring its long-standing UAS and sensing expertise to a region recognized as a premier center for advanced technology. This expansion will enable closer collaboration with local industry and more frequent interaction with our U.S. Air Force customer,” said GA-ASI Vice President of DoD Strategic Development Patrick Shortsleeve.

“GA-ASI’s latest investment in Ohio reinforces our state’s vital role in strengthening America’s national defense,” said JobsOhio President and CEO J.P. Nauseef. “In partnership with the Dayton Development Coalition, we welcome this cutting-edge facility, which will advance critical aircraft hardware and software systems, create 50 new jobs in Beavercreek, and position GA-ASI closer to its private-sector partners and customers at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.”

Ohio’s Aerospace & Defense sector is built for the speed our mission now demands. More than 640 aerospace facilities and 400 defense contractor organizations — supporting 418,000 jobs and roughly $55 billion in annual economic output — operate in collaboration with Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, the Air Force Research Laboratory, the NASA Glenn Research Center, and the National Advanced Air Mobility Center of Excellence (NAAMCE). That concentration shortens the distance from concept to manufacturing: in Ohio, companies can dream it, build it, test it, and scale it without leaving the state.

Synergy Vice President John Kopilchack said: “We are very excited to welcome General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. into our growing Synergy Defense portfolio. Synergy remains committed to clients like GA-ASI who are inventing and pioneering modern solutions for our warfighters.”

GA-ASI has been a supplier of UAS, including the Predator^® and Reaper^® platforms, to the U.S. Air Force for the past 30 years. In June, GA-ASI was awarded a production contract from USAF to build the new FQ-42A Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA), a purpose-built uncrewed fighter jet developed as part of ongoing investment in next-generation semi-autonomous combat aircraft.

JobsOhio plans to provide assistance for the project, which will be made public after a final agreement is executed. In addition, the project may pursue a Job Creation Tax Credit from the Ohio Department of Development at a future Tax Credit Authority meeting.

About GA-ASI

General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., is the world’s foremost builder of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). Logging more than 9 million flight hours, the Predator^® line of UAS has flown for over 30 years and includes MQ-9A Reaper^®, MQ-1C Gray Eagle^®, MQ-20 Avenger^®, MQ-9B SkyGuardian^®/SeaGuardian^®, XQ-67A, and FQ-42A.

Where Timeless Design Meets Limitless Pursuit: Akkar USA’s Open Country Over/Under is Built for Upland Hunters

Posted on Tuesday, 15 September, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

Where Timeless Design Meets Limitless Pursuit: Akkar USA’s Open Country Over/Under is Built for Upland Hunters

North Kansas City, MO (September 14, 2026) – Long miles, hard-flying birds, and split-second opportunities define upland hunting. The Akkar USA Open Country Series was built with those moments in mind. The Open Country combines classic over/under styling with field-ready performance for hunters chasing pheasants across open grasslands, flushing quail over pointing dogs, or working grouse through thick timber.

The Open Country balances traditional craftsmanship with modern performance. A beautifully engraved steel receiver and select Turkish walnut stock create a timeless appearance, while Akkar’s durable OxyCap finish helps protect the shotgun from the weather, brush, and wear that come with long days in the field.

Designed to shoulder naturally and swing smoothly, the Open Country is available in both 12-gauge and 20-gauge configurations with 28-inch barrels. Its balanced profile promotes quick, instinctive handling on fast-rising birds while providing the control needed for longer crossing shots. Whether carrying the lighter 20-gauge for quail or stepping up to the 12-gauge for late-season pheasants, hunters can choose the setup that best fits their pursuit.

A ventilated rib promotes a consistent sight picture, allowing hunters to stay focused on the bird instead of the shotgun.

Versatility is another hallmark of the Open Country. Five extended Mobil choke tubes allow hunters to tailor shot patterns for changing cover, varying shooting distances, and different upland species. Featuring the widely used Mobil thread pattern, the shotgun also accommodates a broad selection of aftermarket choke options for additional customization.

Automatic ejectors provide fast and reliable shell ejection after each shot, helping hunters reload quickly when another bird flushes unexpectedly. For shooters who prefer extractors, the Open Country can easily be converted by replacing a single component, offering added flexibility without sacrificing simplicity.

Every Open Country reflects Akkar’s commitment to quality manufacturing and dependable performance. Its engraved receiver, rich Turkish walnut stock, and durable OxyCap finish deliver a shotgun that looks as refined as it performs in the field. Backed by a 5-year limited warranty, the Open Country is built for upland hunters who appreciate classic styling and proven reliability season after season.

Akkar USA Open Country Features:

Chamber Size: 2¾–3-inch chamber
Choke System: Five extended Mobil style chokes
Barrel: 28-inch ventilated rib barrel
Ejection/Extraction: Automatic ejectors (convertible to extractors)
Safety: Automatic Tang safety with integrated barrel selector

Galco’s Pocket Protector Holster now available for S&W Bodyguard 2.0!

Posted on Tuesday, 15 September, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

HOME HOLSTERS AMMO CARRIERS BELTS FAQ

Galco’s Pocket Protector Holster now available for S&W Bodyguard 2.0 w/wo carry optic!

September 2026

Now available for the S&W Bodyguard 2.0 with or without carry optic!

While limiting the carrier to a relatively small handgun, pocket carry offers some unique advantages. Not only is the handgun completely covered and concealed, but the gun carrier can casually place a hand on the holstered/pocketed pistol if a nonspecific threat materializes – and the fastest draw is to have the gun already in hand.

Galco’s pocket holsters greatly minimize shifting of the handgun in the pocket, allowing for a fast and sure grip acquisition when drawing. They conceal the shape of the handgun so its outline doesn’t print through the pocket and allow one-handed release of the handgun from both pocket and holster.

Pocket holsters cover the trigger to prevent entanglement with foreign objects and add a safety barrier between fingers and trigger when acquiring a firing grip. Many have also found pocket holsters to be ideal for purse and backpack carry, as well as short-term storage in a glove box, center console, or nightstand.

Reinforcements at the holster mouth and beneath the trigger guard keep the holster stiff enough to allow a smooth draw and easy return to the holster, while also maintaining enough rigidity to prevent “printing” and shifting of the handgun. The holster’s hooked shape – at the base of the handgun’s trigger guard – is designed to catch on the pocket so that, with practice (using an unloaded firearm) and while using the proper pants, you can draw the firearm while the holster remains in your pocket or falls away.

The Pocket Protector™ is ambidextrous and constructed of premium Center Cut Steerhide™.

This AI Builds Drone Swarms Just to See If Defenses Can Survive

This AI Builds Drone Swarms Just to See If Defenses Can Survive

Sep 12, 2026

(Source: iHLS)

Representational image of swarm

This post is also available in: עברית (Hebrew)

Stopping one drone is very different from defending against dozens or hundreds arriving together. A coordinated swarm can approach from several directions, divide into smaller groups and overwhelm sensors or command systems with more tracks than operators are accustomed to handling. Developing counter-drone technology for that threat requires a way to reproduce complex attacks safely and consistently during testing.

Rocket One has introduced Swarm Stage AI, a threat-emulation platform designed to create repeatable drone-swarm scenarios for counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS) training and evaluation. Rather than testing defenses against individual UAVs or manually coordinating large numbers of aircraft, the system uses AI and existing swarm-control technology to generate coordinated behaviors across many drones.

At the center of the platform is an AI threat builder. Users define the type of scenario they want to reproduce, and the software translates those requirements into coordinated flight behavior for the participating aircraft. This makes it possible to construct different swarm formations and attack patterns while repeating the same scenario when engineers need comparable results between tests.

According to NextGenDefense, the system draws on technology capable of coordinating thousands of aircraft simultaneously and includes a library containing more than 2,500 tested flight patterns and aerial assets, according to the company. Operators can also build new configurations for particular testing requirements.

Before aircraft are launched, users can view the scenario through a 3D mission preview, helping teams understand how the swarm will move and adjust the test before conducting a live exercise.

The platform is intended to evaluate multiple parts of a counter-drone architecture. Radar developers could examine whether their systems continue detecting and separating targets when the sky becomes crowded. Other sensors could be tested for classification and tracking performance, while command-and-control systems could be assessed on how effectively they combine those detections and help operators respond to several threats simultaneously.

For military forces and critical-infrastructure operators, realistic swarm testing is becoming increasingly relevant as inexpensive drones make mass attacks more practical. Even capable counter-UAS equipment may perform differently when faced with many coordinated targets rather than the small numbers typically used in controlled demonstrations.

Repeatability is particularly important. Engineers need to know whether improved performance comes from changes to their system or simply from receiving an easier set of targets. Recreating the same swarm behavior provides a more consistent benchmark for comparing sensors, software and defensive configurations.

The system is now being offered for demonstrations to military, government, defense-industry and training organizations.

The platform itself does not defeat drones. Instead, it provides the opposition that counter-drone systems need to prove they can handle. As swarm tactics become more sophisticated, accurately recreating the threat may become an increasingly important part of building the defenses intended to stop it.

Honor, Unity, and Memory: Reflecting on September 11

Posted on Friday, 11 September, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

The Tribute in Light over New York City, AI generated

Remember September 11!

On September 11, 2001, 2,977 lives were lost in the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil. Four coordinated hijackings targeting the World Trade Center towers in New York City, the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, altered the trajectory of modern history in a matter of hours.

Why We Remember

Remembrance on September 11 serves two essential functions: honoring the fallen and affirming shared humanity. Every year, annual ceremonies involve the reading of the victims’ names, moments of silence marking key timestamps of the morning, and acts of service nationwide through the 9/11 Day of Service and Remembrance.

By remembering the spirit of solidarity that emerged in the aftermath, future generations carry forward a powerful message: that unity and strength endure long after dark moments pass.

GA-ASI Unveils Wildfire UAS for Military, Civil and Commercial Roles

Posted on Friday, 11 September, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

GA-ASI Unveils Wildfire UAS for Military, Civil and Commercial Roles | General Atomics

GA-ASI UNVEILS WILDFIRE UAS FOR MILITARY, CIVIL AND COMMERCIAL ROLES

New Uncrewed Aircraft Combines Exceptional Endurance and Range
With Unsurpassed Payload and Affordability at Scale

SAN DIEGO – 10 September 2026 – The world leader in Uncrewed Aircraft Systems, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) is pleased to announce its groundbreaking Wildfire UAS, a clean-sheet aircraft designed to maximize future investments in large uncrewed aircraft that incorporates lessons learned over decades of large-scale global UAS operations.

Wildfire draws upon more than 30 years of delivering more than 1,600 world-changing uncrewed aircraft, including the MQ-1B Predator^®, MQ-9A Reaper^®, MQ-9B SkyGuardian^®, MQ-20 Avenger^® and FQ-42A Collaborative Combat Aircraft. GA-ASI aircraft have amassed nearly 10 million total flight hours, mostly in combat, and introduced many of the technologies and concepts now emulated by others around the world.

“This is exactly the right design for high-demand missions and cost-conscious customers,” said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. “Our tailor-designed, attrition-tolerant Wildfire balances the high capability our aircraft are known for with huge flexibility and great scalability. There’s never been anything like it before.”

Wildfire is a new type of uncrewed aircraft, merging the best features of GA-ASI’s proven UAS with lower-cost components, tailored capabilities, and reimagined modularity. For defense customers, this enables Wildfire to be fielded quickly in large numbers, take risk in kinetic battlefield roles, and bring significant mass to the fight in ways that would have been prohibitive with other systems. In non-combat roles, Wildfire’s increased payload capacity and stronger hardpoints provide new options for heavy cargo delivery and other commercial activities.

“We’ve defined the top end of what medium-altitude, long-endurance uncrewed aircraft can do,” Alexander said. “Our MQ-9B is showing that it can do almost anything. Hunt for submarines, defend against drones, perform airborne early warning and many other missions, and that won’t change. But Wildfire is different. It’s focused on core ISR, strike and similar roles. This is a high-volume, lower-cost airplane that does a few things really well.”

Wildfire will be highly autonomous and designed for collaborative operations on Day One, leveraging our FQ-42A systems.

GA-ASI has proposed Wildfire for the U.S. Air Force’s Massed Modular Aircraft (MMA) competition within the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), which aims to develop an alternative to the MQ-9A Reaper. Wildfire meets or surpasses all requirements of that request in dramatic fashion, exceeding 8,000 nautical miles ferry range and capable of carrying two Long-Range Anti-Ship Missiles simultaneously for meaningful combat distance.

Wildfire can also carry four Joint Strike Missiles simultaneously, or numerous other combinations of munitions, launched effects, sensors or other payloads. Advanced autonomy provides for networked, collaborative combat control of dozens of Wildfires at once, and the aircraft’s proliferated low-earth orbit satellite controls have already been proven on numerous GA-ASI aircraft flying today. Wildfire can be delivered years earlier than the FY2031 timeline defined by DIU, producing more than twice as many aircraft in the same amount of time, thanks to GA-ASI’s robust, existing manufacturing footprint and extensive network of suppliers, subcontractors, and partners.

This then further supports stock and production optimization as the system captures size requirements up front (by garment, role, and location), helping suppliers to forecast size curves, allocate inventory across sites, and plan production more accurately, reducing overproduction, stockouts, and costly redistribution.

Most modern workforce members order required apparel via smartphones. Size-Me 5.1 answers this shift by streamlining the digital fitting room with step-by-step instructions and will increase rollout participation across global teams with a faster, multilingual user journey, non-intrusive questions, and zero requirement for photographs or body scans. By maintaining total privacy and data security, the platform encourages higher employee participation and precise first-time size selections.

Why has Size-Me been optimized for mobile devices?

Smartphones have become central to the way employees access workplace services, particularly across distributed, frontline, and deskless workforces. A recent mobile-workforce study reported that 80 percent of enterprise employees use mobile applications for work-related tasks. (Worldmetrics)

Uniform ordering must therefore work effectively on the device employees are most likely to have available. Size-Me 5.1 has been further optimized for smartphones and mobile devices so that employees can complete the sizing process quickly and confidently, wherever they are located.

The improved mobile journey offers:

A faster and simpler experience
Clear, guided instructions
An intuitive step-by-step process
Personalized size and fit recommendations
Only a few simple wearer inputs
No photographs or body scans
A private and secure process
Garment-specific recommendations rather than generic size advice

The aim is to remove unnecessary friction and help more employees select the correct size first time.

Why does a simple wearer experience matter?

A sizing platform can only deliver value when employees find it easy to use.

Complex sizing forms, unclear instructions or intrusive requirements can reduce participation. Lower participation leaves organizations with incomplete sizing information and makes it harder to plan garment demand accurately.

A quick, accessible user journey can encourage more employees to complete the sizing process.

This provides two immediate benefits:

Helping each employee select the right garment size first time.
The organization receives more reliable information about actual size demand; in turn, this helps organizations manufacture, purchase, stock, and distribute the right quantities across every size.

“Workforce demographics, regulations and business systems are constantly evolving, and our continuous research and development keeps Size-Me relevant, accurate and commercially valuable for our clients. By combining an upgraded, mobile-optimized easy wearer journey with real size-demand intelligence, Size-Me supports not only end-user satisfaction, but also supports more accurate production planning, better stock allocation, and lower operating costs for manufacturers,” states Bodi.Me CEO and co-founder, Lara Mazzoni.

Size-Me 5.1 is available now and can easily be integrated into an organization’s existing e-commerce, uniform-ordering, or workforce-management platform, allowing employees to complete the sizing journey as part of their normal ordering process.

Catalyst Arms Introduces the Apex Bag Rider 2.0 for the Ruger Precision Rifle
Sleeker profile and refined rear angle deliver smoother bag adjustments and improved stability

Beaverton, OR – September 10, 2026 – Catalyst Arms has released the Apex Bag Rider 2.0, an upgraded rear stock accessory for the Gen 1–Gen 3 Ruger Precision Rifle (short-action and magnum-action models). The new design features a sleeker profile and a refined angle at the rear of the bag rider for smoother, more controlled elevation adjustments when sliding the support bag forward or rearward under the stock.

The angled surface allows shooters to raise or lower the buttstock simply by sliding the rear bag forward or aft, providing more stable aiming than using uneven grip pressure on the bag.

Key features of the Apex Bag Rider 2.0:

Sleeker profile with optimized rear angle for smoother bag movement
Wider contact surface than the factory Picatinny rail for enhanced stability
Rapid, repeatable elevation adjustment via bag position
Polymer, lightweight and snag-resistant design
Installs in seconds: slides over the factory bottom Picatinny rail and locks with a single screw
No gunsmithing, permanent modification, or rifle disassembly required

Fitment
The Apex Bag Rider 2.0 is designed for the Gen 1-Gen 3 Ruger Precision Rifles (short action and magnum models) buttstock.
The Apex Bag Rider 2.0 is now available from Catalyst Arms and Catalyst Arms dealers with an MSRP of $44.95.

Partner with a Payer Program Highlights How Federal Excise Taxes Power Conservation, With Arizona’s Ben Avery Shooting Facility in Focus

Posted on Friday, 11 September, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

Partner with a Payer Program Highlights How Federal Excise Taxes Power Conservation, With Arizona’s Ben Avery Shooting Facility in Focus

NSSF spotlights how firearm and ammunition manufacturers’ Federal Excise Taxes fund wildlife restoration, hunter education and public shooting access, featuring the Ben Avery Shooting Facility, the Arizona Game and Fish Department and Remington Ammunition.

PHOENIX — NSSF^®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, is spotlighting the impact of its Partner with a Payer^® (PWP) program, an initiative that brings manufacturers together with state and federal conservation leaders to show how federal excise taxes under the Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act (Pittman-Robertson Act) become on-the-ground results for wildlife, hunters and recreational shooters nationwide. Since 1937, the program has generated over $17.7 billion (more than $29 billion when adjusted for inflation) for conservation, fueling habitat restoration, research, hunter education and public shooting ranges in all 50 states.

The latest PWP visit brought agency partners and industry leaders to the Ben Avery Shooting Facility near Phoenix, one of the largest publicly operated shooting complexes in the nation and a flagship of the Arizona Game and Fish Department. Welcoming roughly 250,000 shooters each year across disciplines that range from rimfire and cowboy action shooting to precision rifle out to 1,000 yards, Ben Avery illustrates how recreational shooting has become a driving force behind modern conservation funding. In Arizona, Pittman-Robertson dollars support 11 state-owned or operated public ranges and a grant program that helps private ranges open their doors to public access, extending shooting opportunities to more than 400 facilities statewide.

As a featured manufacturer in PWP, Remington Ammunition exemplifies the industry’s role in this funding model. Through PWP, agency partners and industry peers see firsthand how quarterly federal excise tax payments from manufacturers flow through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and are invested by state fish and wildlife agencies, delivering measurable benefits for wildlife, habitat and public access while expanding education for the next generation of hunters and shooters.

“Here at the Ben Avery Shooting Facility, we welcome roughly 250,000 shooters through our gates every year,” said Dale Case, Rifle and Pistol Range Manager at the Ben Avery Shooting Facility. “Making sure the next generation knows these facilities exist, and that there are safe places to learn, is central to everything we do.”

“The Wildlife Restoration Act is a quiet giant in the world of conservation funding, reaching 56 states and territories across America,” said James Burnham, Biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. “It is remarkable to stand here at Ben Avery, a facility this comprehensive and this large, because it speaks directly to the importance of recreational shooting for conservation management.”

“At Remington Ammunition, we make ammunition for the recreational shooter, and the recreational shooter is essential to the entire model of wildlife conservation funding in this country through the 11 percent excise tax,” said Jon Zinnel, Director of Community Relations at Remington Ammunition. “Those dollars support not only the development of shooting ranges but wildlife conservation across the board, which is why it is so important for us as a manufacturer to engage directly with state agencies and organizations.”

The Partner with a Payer framework deepens understanding across the complete conservation pathway, from manufacturers to federal excise taxes to state-level investments, by opening facility doors, encouraging dialogue with state and federal professionals and highlighting measurable outcomes. As target shooters become a growing share of the constituents who fund conservation, that transparency helps industry teams and the public see how dedicated funding translates into new and improved ranges, hunter-education programming and habitat work that people can experience in their own communities.

This initiative is supported by the NSSF and produced in collaboration with Shine United LLC / Kingdom Filmworks.

NSSF Marks Successful Conclusion to Gun Storage Check Week

At Close of National Safety Awareness Campaign, NSSF Urges Year-Round Emphasis

Washington, D.C. — NSSF^®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, celebrates the successful conclusion of Gun Storage Check Week^®, observed Sept. 1–7 to coincide with National Suicide Prevention Month. Throughout Gun Storage Check Week, millions of gun owners were reminded of the “Make Sure It’s Secure^®” message to review their storage practices and help prevent unwanted access to firearms when not in use.

“NSSF thanks the many gun owners, retailers, ranges, firearm industry companies and organizations, as well as the law enforcement community, for their staunch support of Gun Storage Check Week,” said Joe Bartozzi, NSSF President and CEO. “The ‘Make Sure It’s Secure’ message is relevant year-round, but at the start of National Suicide Prevention Month it’s paramount. Suicide is preventable. We know securely storing firearms when not in use saves lives, and we encourage everyone to continue periodically evaluating their storage practices as their lifestyles and preferences change.”

While this national safety awareness campaign has reached its conclusion, the conversation surrounding the secure storage of firearms is a continuous endeavor. NSSF is committed to informing firearm owners and their families about the steps they can take to ensure firearms are securely stored and help prevent suicide. These steps include:

The knowledge that suicide is preventable.

Trust your gut and connect with someone you’re worried about.

Be aware if you or someone you know is struggling, call/text/chat the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Know that securely storing firearms when not in use provides time and distance for someone in a moment of crisis. This time provides space for immediate thoughts of suicide to pass, enabling someone in crisis the opportunity to seek support.

GunStorageCheck.org remains available as a trusted yearlong resource for gun owners, providing helpful information on firearm storage options to fit any use or lifestyle, as well as additional resources to promote safety in the home.

Gun Storage Check Week will return in 2027: June 1–7 in National Safety Month, and Sept. 1–7 in National Suicide Prevention Month.

Protect Your Bow, Deploy the Decoys: Flambeau Gear for the Whitetail Hunter

Posted on Friday, 11 September, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

Protect Your Bow, Deploy the Decoys: Flambeau Gear for the Whitetail Hunter

Midfield, OH (SEPT 10, 2026) – A successful whitetail hunt can come down to a few seconds, but those seconds are built on preparation. By September, the bow should be tuned and ready for the field, and the hunting strategy should focus on influencing how deer approach the stand. The Flambeau Outdoors® Formula Bow Case and Boss Buck and Boss Babe decoys address two very different parts of that equation: protecting the equipment that gets you to the hunt and creating a believable visual encounter once you’re there.

The Formula Bow Case is specifically designed to protect a compound bow during transport and storage. Its Adjustable Bow Security A.B.S. suspension system free-floats critical components such as the cams, cables, string, and sight, preventing contact with the case. Hunters who painstakingly tune their bows appreciate the multiple layers of protection the Formula Bow Case provides.

Sometimes the road to success is full of bumps, and the hard-shell case takes the abuse of a rough ride while protecting the contents inside. When the hunt takes place in a far-flung location, the automatic pressure-release valve keeps the air pressure equalized. The Formula Bow Case fits most makes and models of bows under 40 inches in overall length, or up to 43 inches without the accessory pouch.

Now that the bow is protected, the next challenge is creating a believable social scenario for a dominant buck. The Flambeau Boss Buck and Boss Babe create a natural-looking encounter designed to encourage bucks to investigate and hold their attention.

Based on award-winning Chris Schiller’s deer sculpture, the Boss Buck and Boss Babe feature realistic body shape and coloration. The adjustable ears change the mood, including alert, relaxed, and sneaking positions, mimicking a deer’s natural body language. Together, these details help create a visual message for incoming deer.

Hunters can represent a territorial challenge with the Boss Buck, while Boss Babe can be used either standing or bedded by removing the legs. The breakdown design makes transportation and storage practical, while the decoys can be used individually or together to create multiple combinations depending on the phase of the rut.

The goal isn’t simply to carry more gear into the woods. It’s to arrive with equipment intact and sighted in, and a hunting setup designed to entice big bucks.

About Flambeau Outdoors

Flambeau Outdoors has been a leader in the outdoor industry for over 75 years, providing innovative storage, hunting, and fishing solutions for sportsmen and outdoor enthusiasts. From tackle boxes and weapon cases to decoys and hunting accessories, Flambeau Outdoors delivers durable, high-quality gear designed to withstand the elements.
