Streamlight® Launches Portable Scene Light III With 10,000-Lumen Output and a Modular Design

STREAMLIGHT® LAUNCHES PORTABLE SCENE LIGHT III WITH 10,000-LUMEN OUTPUT AND A MODULAR DESIGN

New Waterproof Lighting System Introduced at FDIC International

EAGLEVILLE, PA, April 23, 2026 – Streamlight®, Inc., a leading provider of high-performance lighting, has launched the Portable Scene Light III (PSL III), a high-output, waterproof lighting system delivering up to 10,000 lumens for fire, emergency response, military, industrial, and outdoor applications. The new system debuted at FDIC International in Indianapolis, IN.

The PSL III delivers powerful, adaptable performance featuring 12 LEDs with wide-pattern reflectors, providing uniform scene illumination and three output levels to match the task. On High, it provides 10,000 lumens and 121,000 candela for maximum scene illumination with a 2-hour run time. Medium offers 5,000 lumens and 61,000 candela for balanced output and extended 4-hour operation, while Low delivers 2,500 lumens and 38,000 candela with up to 8 hours of run time for longer-duration use.

Designed for flexibility in the field, the PSL III features a 5-in-1 modular design that can be used with or without the included tripod. The system is equipped with swappable lithium-ion batteries, along with AC and DC power options for extended operation. A quick-mount system and a single-button tripod release enables fast setup. The 360° rotating, 180° pivoting light head allows for precise positioning exactly where illumination is needed. Even when mounted on the tripod, the light remains fully rotatable, offering added flexibility to adjust the angle without repositioning on the base. An available wireless remote provides full control from up to 75 feet away and can be paired with multiple lights for synchronized operation.

A key enhancement to Streamlight’s Portable Scene Light family is the PSL III’s tripod system, which is engineered for enhanced stability, storage, and field versatility. The tripod extends up to 92 inches and features reversible feet, including spiked ends for secure placement on uneven or soft terrain and flat feet for hard surfaces. The tripod is wind-resistant up to 40 mph. Integrated battery management includes two cradles to keep backup power readily accessible. The lightweight design and built-in carry handle support easy transport and rapid deployment.

“Whether on the fireground, emergency scenes or complex worksites, reliable lighting is critical for safety, visibility, and operational efficiency,” said Michael F. Dineen, Streamlight President. “The Portable Scene Light III delivers high-lumen output, rapid deployment, and flexible power options to support crews in dynamic, low-light environments.”

The PSL III is IPX7-rated (waterproof to 1 meter for 30 minutes) with the battery installed and IPX4-rated without the battery installed. It features glove-friendly controls and a rugged, impact-resistant thermoplastic housing intended for indoor or outdoor use.

The light head measures 7.5 inches long, 7 inches wide, and 9 inches high and weighs 7.5 lbs. with included battery. The tripod collapses to 37.7 inches for transport and extends up to 92 inches with spiked feet or 88 inches with flat feet. It weighs 13.3 lbs and comes equipped with an integrated carry handle for easy transportation. The total weight of the light and tripod when mounted is 23.5 lbs.

The Portable Scene Light III system has an MSRP of $1,759 and the Portable Scene Light III – Light only has an MSRP of $1,014. Both are backed by Streamlight’s Limited Lifetime Warranty.

The New AI That Double-Checks Its Own Answers


The New AI That Double-Checks Its Own Answers

Apr 22, 2026

(Source: iHLS)

Representational image of AI models

This post is also available in: עברית (Hebrew)

One of the main challenges with generative AI tools today is reliability. Even advanced models can produce inaccurate or misleading information, a phenomenon often referred to as “hallucination”. As these systems are increasingly used for research, analysis, and decision support, the need for built-in validation mechanisms is becoming more critical.

A new approach aims to address this issue by allowing multiple AI models to work together within a single workflow (such as a recent development in Microsoft’s Co-Pilot working with OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Anthropic’s Claude). Instead of relying on a single system to generate and validate content, the solution introduces a collaborative process between different models. In practice, one model produces an initial response, while another independently reviews it for accuracy, coherence, and quality before it reaches the user.

This layered method is designed to reduce errors and improve trust in AI-generated outputs. By cross-checking results in real time, the system can flag inconsistencies and refine answers before they are presented. Future iterations are expected to expand this concept further, enabling models to review each other’s outputs in both directions, creating a more dynamic validation loop.

According to Cyber News, another feature allows users to compare responses from multiple models side by side. This gives visibility into how different systems interpret the same query and helps users make more informed decisions about which output to trust. It also highlights differences in reasoning and style, which can be useful in research and analysis tasks.

From a technical perspective, this reflects a broader shift toward multi-model architectures. Instead of building larger standalone systems, developers are increasingly combining specialized models to improve overall performance, reliability, and speed. This modular approach also allows for greater flexibility as new models can be integrated over time.

While primarily aimed at enterprise and productivity use cases, the implications extend into defense and homeland security domains. Decision-making systems in these environments often rely on large volumes of data and require a high degree of accuracy. Integrating multiple AI models to validate outputs could help reduce the risk of incorrect assessments, particularly in intelligence analysis or operational planning.

As AI adoption continues to grow, approaches that emphasize verification and transparency are likely to become a key part of how these systems are deployed in both civilian and security-critical applications.

The Drone Built to Take Down Other Drones

The Drone Built to Take Down Other Drones

Apr 22, 2026

(Source: iHLS)

This post is also available in: עברית (Hebrew)

The rapid spread of low-cost kamikaze drones is creating a growing challenge for air defense systems. These small, expendable platforms can be deployed in large numbers, overwhelming traditional defenses that rely on expensive interceptors. The result is a widening cost gap, where defending against a swarm can become significantly more expensive than launching the attack.

A new autonomous interceptor concept (called “Birds of Prey” by Airbus) is designed to address this imbalance by focusing on affordability and scalability. The system operates as an unmanned aerial platform capable of independently detecting, tracking, and engaging incoming threats. During a recent test flight, it successfully identified and intercepted a simulated one-way attack drone, completing the full engagement cycle without direct human control.

At the core of the system is a combination of onboard sensing and autonomous decision-making. The interceptor analyzes aerial targets in real time, classifies them, and initiates engagement using compact air-to-air missiles. These munitions are designed to be significantly less expensive than traditional interceptors while still providing sufficient lethality against small drones. Their fire-and-forget capability allows the platform to engage multiple targets in quick succession.

According to Interesting Engineering, the interceptor itself is built on a modified aerial target drone, repurposed into an operational platform. With a relatively compact airframe, it can carry several lightweight missiles, up to eight in its intended configuration, enabling multiple engagements during a single mission. The system is also reusable, which further reduces the cost per interception compared to single-use solutions.

Beyond the interceptor, integration into broader defense networks is a key element. The platform is designed to operate within existing command-and-control frameworks, allowing it to function as part of a layered air defense system. This enables coordination with ground-based sensors and other interceptors, improving overall response time and coverage.

From a defense perspective, the concept reflects a shift toward cost-effective countermeasures against mass drone attacks. Rather than relying solely on high-end systems, militaries are increasingly exploring solutions that can be deployed at scale and sustain repeated engagements.

As drone threats continue to evolve, systems that combine autonomy, low-cost interception, and networked operation are likely to become a central component of future air defense strategies.

Hopping into Success: Breaking Bunnies on the Clay Range

Eye rolling. Grumbling. General looks of disgust. These are the typical responses I encounter as I ask students to step up into the box for a rabbit clay. I’ve said before, these presentations aren’t difficult, they’re just different. As we hop into spring, let’s celebrate the bunnies and take a closer look at how you can overcome your fears of rascally rabbits.

Anatomy of the Shot: The Biology of Shooting a Shotgun

As a sporting clays instructor, I’m frequently asked if I follow or know of certain titled, competitive shooters or hunting influencers. Every now and again, a name will resonate as someone I’ve heard of or follow. Most names are just another name, though, and I have to explain that I actually spend most of my time following and researching scientists, doctors and mental training experts.

Why? Well, because the human anatomy and how it works has far greater bearing on how a shooter will interact with a target. I often say this: “If you can’t see it, you can’t shoot it.” In a vision-based sport, a hunter or competitor’s ability to ascertain a target means everything. Other contributing factors to shooting success includes gun fit, stance and mount, along with an ability to correctly read a target and react accordingly.

This month we open up the biology of shooting and how your body, build and mental interactions with clays and feathers impacts your ability to connect with targets.

NSSF Commends Indiana Gov. Mike Braun for Protecting Firearm Retailers, Ranges from Zoning Discrimination

NSSF Commends Indiana Gov. Mike Braun for Protecting Firearm Retailers, Ranges from Zoning Discrimination

Gov. Braun

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, commends Indiana Gov. Mike Braun for signing a law prohibiting local governments from weaponizing zoning regulations to prevent firearm retailers and ranges from operating in areas already approved for commercial use. The NSSF-priority bill, Indiana’s Senate Enrolled Act (SEA) 176, was signed by Gov. Braun earlier this year and a ceremonial signing is scheduled for late April. The bill was led by State Sen. Jim Tomes and State Rep. Ben Smaltz.

“The passage of Senate Enrolled Act 176 into law is a vital step to ensuring that law-abiding gun owners have access to safe and state-of-the-art shooting ranges and firearm retail locations,” explained Chris Lee, NSSF’s Director of Government Relations – State Affairs. “This law will safeguard ranges and retailers from antigun agenda-driven weaponization of local zoning authorities. These establishments, which are necessary to the exercise of Second Amendment rights, are too often relegated to back corners of industrial parks and country roads that are inconvenient to access for most consumers, including hunters and law enforcement. NSSF is grateful to the Indiana legislature and Governor Braun for ensuring these ranges and retailers are protected so Hoosiers can safely and lawfully exercise their Second Amendment rights.”

For existing shooting ranges, SEA 176 clarifies that work such as maintenance, repairs, modernization, etc., is treated as an already permitted use and does not require a new permit. It prohibits local governments from conditioning permits on terms such as annexation and requires local governments to act in a timely manner when approving permits for ranges.

For new indoor ranges, SEA 176 establishes that indoor shooting ranges are permitted in areas that are zoned for commercial, industrial or agricultural use without special hearings or approvals by local governments, with limited exceptions. The range must be built in a way that ensures projectiles are contained within the facility and that noise will not significantly impact adjacent properties.

For new firearm retailers, SEA 176 defines a “retail sporting goods store” as one that is primarily engaged in the retail of new sporting goods classified under NAICS 45110, which includes “gun shops” and “sporting goods stores.” Firearm retailers will generally be permitted on any parcel zoned for commercial use, with limited exceptions.

Indiana’s SEA 176 will go into effect on July 1, 2026.

Flambeau Outdoors® Unveils Double Coverage™ 50-Inch Long Gun Case for Reliable, Travel-Ready Storage

Flambeau Outdoors® Unveils Double Coverage™ 50-Inch Long Gun Case for Reliable, Travel-Ready Storage

Middlefield, OH (April 21, 2025) – Whether traveling with a hunting bow or storing it at home, proper protection is essential to maintain accuracy and reliability in the field. Key components like sights, cams, and strings must be protected in order to ensure the arrow hits its mark when it matters most.

From cross-country turkey hunting adventures in pursuit of a Grand Slam to daily trips to the prime local hunting spot or simply storing gear safely between hunts, Flambeau’s Formula Bow Case provides unmatched protection and reliability every step of the way. The revolutionary Adjustable Bow Security (A.B.S.) system is a foamless chassis assembly that free floats critical precision bow components. 

Flambeau’s A.B.S. contact-free bow storage system ensures that bow components stay dialed in and ready for spring gobbler season. The shock-absorbing A.B.S. chassis format features integral tie-down spines that anchor bow risers using patented Nite Ize Mega™ Gear Ties® to cement bows in place for unmatched protection perfection.

When conditions call for archery turkey season campouts, in and out of hotel rooms, or just the back seat of a pickup, Flambeau understands that the hunt is on the line, and the Formula Bow Case is up to the challenge. 

The mid-weight system (18.25 lbs unloaded) punches above its weight, offering the protection level of a heavy-duty, thick-walled case, without sacrificing ease of use and mobility. The Flambeau™ Formula Bow Case features an automatic pressure release valve and weatherproof gasket combination that produces an anti-crush and impact-defusing air chamber that negates the need for heavier exterior walls.

Features:

  • Weatherproof gasket
  • Automatic pressure release valve
  • Removable accessory storage pouch
  • Internal rack for 8 spare arrows
  • Over molded handle
  • 6 over-cam throw latches
  • External tie-down slots

A.B.S System:

  • FOAM FREE: Utilizes adjustable foamless chassis with shock-absorbing rubber membrane
  • SECURE TWIST: Features twistable patented Nite Ize Mega™ Gear Ties® to unconditionally anchor bows in place during transit
  • PROTECTION REPETITION: Hassle-free, muscle memory tie-down operation
  • PRESERVED PRECISION: Free-float sights, cams, cables, and strings to safeguard critical precision components
  • QUIVER TO-GO: Permits quiver to remain attached to bow in case

DDM4v7

OUTSTANDING QUALITY!

Just recently got my first DD. When I got it I do a basic strip down and check fitment and tolerances, and of course lube before I shoot. I love how everything was properly torqued! The fitment is outstanding! Got it zeroed at 50yrds and it was putting 5 round groups with-in 1/4in using 55gr cheap reman bullets. I’m very impressed in the quality of this product! I can’t tell you how many times I bought new rifles from competitors that had loose items or bad fitment that I had to fix before I can even shoot them.

NSSF Vows Legal Action Against Maryland’s Proposed Ban on Certain Striker-Fired Handguns


NSSF

April 20, 2026

NSSF Vows Legal Action Against Maryland’s Proposed Ban on Certain Striker-Fired Handguns

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, is vowing legal action should Maryland Gov. Wes Moore sign legislation that would ban the most popular selling handguns. The misguided legislation would unconstitutionally infringe on the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Marylanders by prohibiting an entire class of lawfully-made and lawfully-sold handguns, should it be signed into law.

Maryland’s legislature recently passed Senate Bill 334 and House Bill 557, which would prohibit the manufacture, sale, offer for sale, purchase, receipt or transfer of certain semiautomatic pistols the state loosely defines as “machine gun convertible pistols.” The legislation singles out certain striker-fired handguns because criminals ignore federal and state law to illegally modify these handguns to attach a “machinegun conversion device,” or MCD, which is illegal to both possess or to attach to a firearm outside of strict federal licensing.

“To borrow on a line from Jame Carville, whom Democrats revere, ‘it’s the criminal, stupid,’” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF’s Senior Vice President & General Counsel. “These bills, and similar laws passed in other states, punish law-abiding citizens by infringing on their Second Amendment rights to legally obtain the firearms they choose to protect themselves and their families against criminals who, by definition, have no respect for life or law. Instead of enforcing the law and holding these criminals accountable, Maryland’s lawmakers pander to gun control donors and antigun special interests to ban an entire class of firearms, which the U.S. Supreme Court’s Heller decision clearly holds violates the U.S. Constitution. Should Governor Moore sign these bills into law, NSSF intends to have Maryland’s Attorney General Anthony Brown explain in court why Maryland willfully violates the rights of her citizens and ignores its responsibility to hold criminals accountable.”

Under the bills’ language, the ban includes pistols with a cruciform trigger bar that Maryland lawmakers say can be readily converted by replacing the slide backplate with an illegal MCD, and it directs the Maryland Department of State Police to publish a list of prohibited models. These include the same handguns used by Maryland State Police and the Baltimore Police Department, although law enforcement is exempted from the proposed prohibition. The proposed ban would to take effect on Jan. 1, 2027.

NSSF warns gun owners to stay on the “Right Side of LegalTM” when making improvements or customizing firearms. The Firearm Industry Trade Association warns that modifying a firearm by adding an illegal device that overrides the original, intended function or design to render a semiautomatic firearm into an automatic firearm is a felony. That includes importing, possessing, making or selling an MCD. It’s a violation of the National Firearms Act (NFA) and carries a prison sentence of up to 10 years and up to $250,000 in fines.

GA-ASI COMPLETES MQ-9B ‘FLIGHT INTO KNOWN ICING’ FLIGHT TESTS

Global RPA Leader Is Certifying MQ-9B for FIKI

SAN DIEGO – 20 April 2026 – General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) has conducted a series of flight tests aimed at certifying the MQ-9B Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) for Flight Into Known Icing (FIKI). The flight tests began last year, and all planned testing was successfully completed in early April from GA-ASI’s Flight Test & Training Center (FTTC) near Grand Forks, North Dakota, using a company-owned MQ-9B.

The FIKI flights build on earlier successful flight tests to evaluate flight characteristics with simulated ice shapes adhered to the aircraft as well as the aircraft’s successful Cold Weather Validation and flights in the Arctic. FIKI certification will expand MQ-9B’s abilities to provide all-weather surveillance capabilities for the many nations that have purchased the system for their military and civil support missions.

The tests were flown using GA-ASI Internal Research and Development funding.

“We’ve approached these flight tests with great rigor,” said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. “GA-ASI became the first RPA developer to receive a Military Type Certificate for MQ-9B (RAF Protector) last year, and now we’re taking steps toward certifying the platform for FIKI. It’s taking the resolve of GA-ASI to get this done for our user base.”

GA-ASI customers are looking for MQ-9B to operate in a full range of environmental conditions, from very hot to very cold, as well as icy conditions. One such customer is the Government of Canada, which has ordered 11 MQ-9B SkyGuardians®. The Canadian Directorate of Technical Airworthiness and Engineering Support, Canada’s national military certification authority, was on site for portions of the flight test period and will use artifacts from the flights to certify MQ-9B to operate in FIKI conditions.

The MQ-9B SkyGuardian and its maritime variant, SeaGuardian®, are multi-mission, multi-domain RPA that can operate in cold weather conditions. MQ-9B aircraft are being flown by the United Kingdom’s Royal Air Force, Belgian Defence, and the Japan Coast Guard. In addition to Canada, MQ-9B has been selected by Denmark, Poland, Germany, Taiwan, India, and the U.S. Air Force in support of the Special Operations Command. MQ-9B has also been featured in various U.S. Navy exercises, including Northern Edge, Integrated Battle Problem, RIMPAC, and Group Sail.

GA-ASI Selected by U.S. Navy PMA-281 for Collaborative Autonomy Mission Planning and Debrief Project

GA-ASI SELECTED BY U.S. NAVY PMA-281
FOR COLLABORATIVE AUTONOMY MISSION PLANNING AND DEBRIEF PROJECT

CAMP Initiative To Demonstrate Advanced Mission Planning, AI Model Management,
and Autonomy Workflows

SAN DIEGO – 20 April 2026 – General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) was selected by the U.S. Navy’s Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) PMA-281 for the Collaborative Autonomy Mission Planning and Debrief (CAMP) project. The initiative will advance mission planning capabilities, AI model management, and autonomy workflows for Autonomous Combat Platforms, culminating in a government sponsored demonstration targeting a 2026 Fleet exercise.

The project will demonstrate the potential for extending PMA-281’s Mission Planning Software framework to support advanced autonomy operations, including behavioral tasking, Rules of Engagement (ROE) configuration, AI decision thresholds, and comprehensive mission debrief capabilities. The effort integrates with the Navy’s Joint Digital Autonomy Range (JDAR) and Joint Simulation Environment (JSE) to enable rapid testing and validation of autonomy-enabled mission profiles.

“This project demonstrates our commitment to delivering integrated mission planning and debrief solutions that enable effective human-autonomy teaming,” said Mike Atwood, Vice President of Advanced Programs for GA-ASI. “By advancing collaborative autonomy workflows and leveraging government simulation environments, we’re providing the Navy with critical capabilities to rapidly test, evaluate, and deploy autonomous systems for complex operational missions.”

The CAMP project will demonstrate key capabilities on the MQ-20 Avenger® platform equipped with Government Reference Implementation (GRI) autonomy, Electronic Warfare (EW), and Infrared Search and Track (IRST) payloads. The initiative emphasizes robust communications architectures featuring Link 16, Tactical Targeting Network Technology (TTNT), and Starlink satellite communications for resilient command and control.

In addition, this project advances operationally scalable autonomy by delivering enterprise mission planning, trusted AI governance, and accelerated digital validation to support Autonomous Combat Aircraft. By integrating secure AI model lifecycle management, human-centered oversight, and high-fidelity simulation environments, GA-ASI is enabling rapid capability iteration and seamless human-autonomy teaming.

The planned demonstration will showcase advanced mission planning and debrief capabilities for autonomy-enabled operations, integrated with Navy systems and evaluated in complex contested operational scenarios. The effort will highlight how mission planning software enables behavioral tasking, Electronic Warfare (EW) and Infrared Search and Track (IRST) employment, combat air patrol, and target engagement, with execution and coordination demonstrated via Link 16-enabled platforms including F/A-18 Super Hornets.

New for 2026, A Practical Lever Rifle Refined for Real Field Use: The Chiappa 92 Wildlands Field

New for 2026, A Practical Lever Rifle Refined for Real Field Use: The Chiappa 92 Wildlands Field

Dayton, OH (April 20, 2026) – Chiappa Firearms expands its Wildlands rifle lineup with the 92 Wildlands Field, a lever-action rifle built around the proven 1892-style system and chambered in .44 Remington Magnum. Developed with practical hunting and field work in mind, the rifle maintains the familiar handling lever-gun shooters expect while incorporating a few purposeful updates that improve adaptability without straying from the platform’s traditional identity. The result is a rifle that remains unmistakably rooted in lever-action heritage while reflecting how many shooters actually use these rifles today.

The Wildlands Field operates through the 1892-pattern lever-action mechanism, a compact and durable system known for smooth cycling with revolver cartridges. In this configuration, the action feeds from a tubular magazine holding 8+1 rounds, providing straightforward operation and reliable follow-up capability in the field. Chiappa pairs the action with a 16.5-inch round barrel threaded 5/8×24, creating a compact profile that remains easy to maneuver in dense cover while preserving the performance expected from the .44 Magnum cartridge.

Sight equipment reflects the rifle’s intended role in hunting environments. The Wildlands Field is equipped with a Skinner Picatinny rail with a peep rear sight, paired with a red fiber-optic front sight, to provide a clear, highly visible sight picture in changing light conditions. The Picatinny interface also allows shooters to mount optics if desired, offering flexibility without altering the rifle’s traditional sighting system.

A distinctive feature of the rifle is the checkered walnut forend, which incorporates three M-LOK interfaces along the sides and underside. This arrangement allows the addition of accessories such as bipods or other field equipment while maintaining the slim profile expected of a lever rifle. The forearm features a tapered diamond profile that improves grip placement and control while preserving the classic look of walnut furniture. The rifle continues that theme with a walnut pistol-grip stock and rubber buttplate, while a half-cock hammer safety maintains the familiar operating system lever-action shooters rely on. With a steel receiver finished in black and an overall length of 35 inches, the Wildlands Field maintains the clean, practical appearance of a working hunting rifle.

Manufactured in Italy, the 92 Wildlands Field continues Chiappa’s approach of refining classic lever-action platforms with thoughtful updates that support modern field use while preserving the character that has made the 1892 design endure.
