GTSC’S Homeland Security Today Announces 2025 Holiday Hero Award Winners

Posted on Wednesday, 12 November, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

NOVEMBER 11, 2025

GTSC’S HOMELAND SECURITY TODAY ANNOUNCES 2025 HOLIDAY HERO AWARD WINNERS

Non-profit, national awards recognize Federal, State and Local heroes from across the nation

Washington, D.C., November 11 — Homeland Security Today, the premier non-profit information source for homeland security news, analysis, and insights, announced selections for the 2025 Homeland Security Holiday Hero Awards, including Lifetime Achievement Award Winner Benjamine “Carry” Huffman, Acting Under Secretary for Management, and Director of Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers.

“The 2025 Homeland Hero honorees remind us that the strength of our homeland lies in the people who protect it—those who lead with courage, think beyond boundaries, and work tirelessly for the safety of others. Their impact resonates far beyond their agencies or organizations, shaping the future of national security for generations to come. America is stronger because of their work.” Said Kristina Tanasichuk, Executive Editor of Homeland Security Today and CEO of the Government Technology & Services Coalition.

The awards were established to celebrate the many disciplines that make up our homeland security mission—cybersecurity, infrastructure protection, intelligence, human trafficking prevention, border security, acquisition, and beyond. Too often, those who work tirelessly behind the scenes—analysts, program managers, data specialists, contract professionals, and others—don’t receive the recognition they deserve. These awards ensure that every individual safeguarding our nation, whether visible or not, is recognized as the hero they truly are.

In 2025, several awards were added: Excellence in Counterterrorism, Information Sharing, Training, Prevention, and Combatting Exploitation; and Most Valuable Player in AI & Tech Advancement, IT Modernization, Data Advancement, and Data Optimization.

Posted on Tuesday, 11 November, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

Step into the future of hunting optics. The Burris Eliminator 6 has been recognized as Optic of the Year by American Rifleman and honored with the prestigious 2025 NRA Golden Bullseye Award—a testament to its unmatched innovation, reliability, and value.
This isn’t just a riflescope. It’s a complete shooting solution.

Integrated laser rangefinder reaching up to 2,000 yards

Bluetooth connectivity with the BurrisConnect™ app
Ballistics-compensated aiming with the cutting-edge X177 HUD reticle

For hunters who demand speed, precision, and simplicity, the Eliminator 6 is redefining what’s possible in the field.

READ FULL ARTICLE

The Burris Eliminator 6 is a revolutionary hunting riflescope that integrates a laser rangefinder, advanced optics, and ballistic computation directly within the scope housing. With over two decades of technology evolution, it’s designed to simplify long-range shooting by eliminating guesswork—range, calculate, and aim, all at the touch of a button.

Key Features:
1. Built-In Laser Rangefinder

Ranges reflective targets up to 2,000+ yards, and up to 1,400 yards (some sources note 1,800 yards) on deer hide.

Eye relief: approx. 3.4″; Weight: ~30 oz; Length: ~14.6″

3. Environmental Sensors & Ballistic Compensation

Onboard thermometer, barometer, and inclinometer measure environmental factors and calculate density altitude to refine ballistic solutions.
Connects via Bluetooth to the BurrisConnect app, enabling users to upload factory or custom load data, creating an internal DOPE card for precise aiming.

4. X177 Illuminated Reticle

The X177 reticle offers 177 aiming points with 1/5 MOA precision, maintaining consistent size across magnifications despite being second focal plane.
Automatically displays the precise aiming point and wind hold dots, plus a 10 mph wind value for manual wind compensation.

5. Customizable Heads-Up Display (HUD)

HUD can show up to 10 customizable data zones (range, wind, battery, density altitude, temperature, velocity, energy, shot call indicator, etc.), toggled via the app.
Includes Digital Guard Rails—displays bullet velocity, energy, and a Shotcall Indicator that warns (by an “X”) when the shot may not be ethical due to low energy.

6. User-Friendly Features

Side focus/parallax adjustment for optimal clarity.

Galco launches the Masterbilt Dual Defense Rig!

Posted on Tuesday, 11 November, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

HOME HOLSTERS AMMO CARRIERS BELTS FAQ

Galco launches the Masterbilt Dual Defense Rig!

November 2025

Galco launches the Masterbilt™ Dual Defense™ Rig!

Galco’s Masterbilt holster series combines our finest-quality premium leathers with the skills of our most experienced craftsmen. The Masterbilt series is the pinnacle of leather holster construction, unrivaled by anything on the market. Masterbilt holsters get their final drying on a last, a solid form around which the holster is dried. They’re ready to go – right from Galco – with little or no break-in required. With detailed hand molding and full-grain leather lining, Masterbilt holsters are not only beautiful, but supremely functional.

Small frame revolvers never went out of style and are more popular than ever. With the Masterbilt Dual Defense Rig, Galco has resurrected three popular features for shoulder carry of revolvers: open front design, diagonal gun orientation and two-gun carry.

The open front feature offers the smoothest draw, since no retention straps or other devices need to be overcome. Yet, the holsters retain the revolvers perfectly by the use of adjustable tension units.

The positioning of the holsters’ swivel keepers hearkens back to Galco’s original Jackass designs. The butt-down/muzzle-up diagonal configuration is universally acknowledged as the best combination of draw speed and concealability.

Revolvers are slow to reload compared to autos. Drawing a second loaded revolver is much faster than reloading, and experienced gunfighters have often carried a pair of revolvers.

Available in black, the Masterbilt Dual Defense Rig’s holsters feature detailed hand-molding for a beautiful appearance and superior firearm retention. The tan, smooth leather lining provides increased tactile feedback on the draw while easing wear on more-delicate handgun finishes. The refinement of leather lining is not only practical, it also enhances the overall look and feel of a hand-crafted premium holster.

The full-grain leather harness measures 2.5” wide at the shoulder, providing outstanding comfort – especially with a brace of lightweight, small frame revolvers.

We’re in the “Revolver Renaissance,” and there’s never been a better time for wheelgun aficionados. The Masterbilt Dual Defense Rig is the perfect companion for concealed carriers who prefer the safety, reliability and speed of a pair of good revolvers. Get yours today.

Tips from The Saddle Czar

Tips from The Saddle Czar

ScentLok advocate and legendary whitetail deer hunter John Eberhart discusses the gear that makes him such a formidable saddle hunter and master of hunting public spaces

MUSKEGON, Mich. (November 10, 2025) – Deer season is well underway across the country, and while some lucky hunters have already punched a tag or two, many have delayed their first sit due to unusually warm weather. Regardless, it is most certainly that time of year when the hunter’s soul stirs as days get shorter and the leaves begin to change.

While many hunters are invested in deer hunting year-round, others are encumbered by life’s other responsibilities and roll with the punches from season to season. Luckily, it’s never too late to make an adjustment in your method of operation and rethink how and where you hunt. A change of scenery and a new way of hunting may be just what is needed to kick-start your annual deer hunting odyssey.

John Eberhart knows a thing or two about bucking (pun intended) conventional wisdom when it comes to deer hunting. Eberhart specializes in saddle hunting public land whitetails and has nearly 60 years of deer hunting experience under his belt. His accolades include 36 bucks listed in the Commemorative Bucks of Michigan record book and 21 P&Y class bucks. Eberhart has never owned, leased, or paid a dime to hunt anywhere, opting to exclusively hunt public, free walk-on, and knock-on-doors for free permission properties whether in Michigan or out of state.

So, we decided to pick his brain about saddle hunting gear.

ScentLok Saddle Midweight Jacket and Pant

Question: How do you typically dress for a hunt?

Eberhart: For starters, I always wear ScentLok pants and jacket 100% of the time when I’m entering and exiting, because I may brush against vegetation and don’t want to leave any odor. It’s important to learn how to dress so you don’t overheat during entry, but while staying comfortable on stand all day – it’s an art form really.

When I was younger, I would wear all my clothes and layers on entry, but I’d sweat my ass off and my bottom layer would be damp. I’d end up getting cold quicker because of the dampness.

I learned how to keep all my layers in my backpack and add or remove layers in the tree as many as three or even four times a day if it was an all-day sit. I put on super light clothes for entry, especially if it’s a long hike, so I don’t overheat. My layering garments are in my backpack, and I’ll pack them in the order that makes the process easier when I remove them. Once I get up the tree, I take off my jacket, lay it over a branch, and once my body cools off a little bit, I’ll put on my layering garments and jacket back on as well. When it warms up midday, I’ll take a mid-layer off but put the jacket back on again and remain that way until it cools off again during late afternoon. Eventually I’ll put my mid-layer back on under my jacket.

When leaving I’ll do the reverse again, so I don’t get sweaty on the way out.

Merino 250 Hoodie

Question: What is your favorite base layer?

Eberhart: Merino wool such as the ScentLok Merino 250 Hoodie or Merino 1/4 Zip and sometimes with the BE:1 Reactor Puffy Heated Vest. I like the merino layer against my body – you feel the heat, and again, I’m trying to mitigate sweat. Our bottom halves don’t perspire like the upper body does and your body temperature is mostly dictated by your upper body core. So, legs are rarely an issue, but I still wear a Merino Base Bottom. That said, if it’s colder out, I’ll wear a heavier base on my bottom with my pants over top.

Question: How about your head, do you wear anything?

Eberhart: My head never really gets that cold but when it gets a little cooler out, you know, like late October or November, I wear the ScentLok head cover, which is enough to keep my head warmer.

Question: You are known for hunting with a saddle on public land and you’ve tagged an insane number of trophy white-tailed deer – what is your favorite saddle?

Eberhart: In my opinion there’s nothing more comfortable than a two-panel saddle. Single panel saddles tend to ride up all the time. So, for example, when you fidget around a little bit or change your position, about every 10 or 15 minutes you must adjust by lifting up your weight to pull the seat back under your butt. You don’t have to do that with a two-panel style because the panels work independently and stay put. Also, with a two panel, you can adjust for more support on your lower back if needed, whereas with a single panel you cannot adjust independently.

Question: Are there any widgets or gear you consider “must haves” for saddle hunting?

Eberhart: The safety rope is called the lineman’s rope, and you use it while climbing and descending the tree, whereas the tether rope is used once you’re hunting. On the tether, the prusik knot is what your carabiner is attached to, and this knot slides up and down the tether rope, so it’s adjustable.

I replace the prusik knot with a Rope Man Ascender. It’s been around a long time; rock climbers and tree trimmers use it for ascending and descending. A lot of times when you sit in the saddle, especially if you’re a heavier guy, the prusik knot gets very tight and it’s difficult to loosen when you need it to move up and down the tether. On the other hand, the Rope Man Ascender allows you to make quick adjustments for when you’re taking a shot and need to move a few inches around the tree. And it only takes a half a second to make an adjustment, whereas the prusik may take five seconds or more to adjust.

I think a lot of guys are intimidated by saddle hunting, you know, and this style of adjuster is one way to make things less intimidating and comfortable. If you’re going to change one thing, replacing the prusik with a Rope Man Ascender would by my number one recommendation.

Question: What types of mapping do you use when scouting a given parcel for good locations to hunt?

Eberhart: I use onX often, but if I want a bigger picture, I’ll use Google Earth when I’m scouting public land from an aerial view. I do love onX because you may find some great looking spots. And sure, until you go there and look at it, you have no idea how much hunting pressure is occurring on the property and how it’s impacted the spot. You have no control of that, but it narrows down where you need to scout.

Eberhart: Perfect pinch points or a transition corridor between two big areas of timber, and it might be divided by crop fields on each side, transitions between bedding-areas and feeding-locations, islands in swamps where you might have to wear waders to access , which can eliminate a huge percentage of competition – plus those are the places pressured deer head to. Ideally, the image includes topo elevations as well, so you can see elevations on a ridgetop or whatever. If you find a stand of oaks on a ridge and it’s difficult to get to, you can separate yourself from other hunters.

Question: Speaking of oaks, if you had to choose between white oak and red oak or other trees, which would you prefer?

Eberhart: Well, that’s a no-brainer there – obviously it’s going to be white oak because they have far-less bitter tannins and are more palatable to deer. When you’re in an area with oaks there are typically lots of them, so deer can feed on oaks pretty much at will, but if I had other options, I’d choose apple trees over oak trees for example. It’s very rare to find a pear tree, but pear trees would be number one.

Apple trees are number two, and they are more common. A lot of public land used to be pasture back in the 40s and 50s and cows spread apple trees with digested apple seeds. There are apple trees all over the place on some public lands. And deer do love chestnuts, but unfortunately, they’ve become rare, too. Chestnuts are a great alternative food source as well.

Teamwork Takes Flight: Drones Move Heavy Objects

Nov 8, 2025

Researchers at TU Delft in the Netherlands have developed an algorithm that enables multiple autonomous drones to work together to carry heavy payloads, even under challenging conditions like wind. The breakthrough could expand drone applications to tasks that are currently too difficult for a single drone, including construction in remote areas, agricultural transport in rugged terrain, and emergency rescue missions.

Drones are ideal for reaching hard-to-access locations, such as offshore wind turbines or mountain farms, but their limited payload capacity has been a persistent challenge. The new system overcomes this by linking several drones to a single payload via cables. By coordinating their positions in real time, the drones can not only lift heavier objects but also control the orientation of the payload, ensuring precise placement in complex environments.

“Coordination is the key challenge,” says the robotics researcher. “When drones are physically connected, they must respond to each other as well as to sudden external forces. Traditional control methods are too slow and rigid for this.”

The TU Delft team’s algorithm is designed to be fast, adaptive, and robust. It adjusts to changing payloads and reacts to disturbances without requiring sensors attached directly to the object, which is a crucial feature for practical field use.

To test the system, the researchers created a controlled laboratory environment. Up to four quadrotors were flown simultaneously, navigating around obstacles and responding to simulated wind. The team even experimented with moving payloads, including a basketball, to evaluate dynamic responses. In all cases, the drones successfully cooperated to carry and stabilize the payload autonomously. Operators only need to specify a destination; the drones handle navigation, obstacle avoidance, and balance on their own.

Currently, the system relies on external motion capture cameras for indoor testing, which limits its immediate use in outdoor settings. The researchers are working toward adapting the technology for real-world deployment, with potential applications in construction, agriculture, and disaster response.

According to TechXplore, this development represents a significant step toward collaborative autonomous flight, where drones act as a coordinated team rather than individual units. By enabling heavier and more precise transport, the technology could expand the practical roles drones play in both industrial and emergency scenarios.

The research was published in the Science Robotics Journal.

NEW Razor® HD Gen III 4-24×44 FFP Riflescope

Posted on Friday, 7 November, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

THE RAZOR^® HD GEN III 4-24×44 FIRST FOCAL PLANE RIFLESCOPE: EVERYTHING IS IN RANGE.
November 6, 2025

BARNEVELD, Wis. – Tactical professionals know the battlefield never stops evolving, and the optics they carry to meet new challenges shouldn’t either. Vortex^® is proud to offer professionals and advanced competition shooters the powerful, versatile tool they need to conquer mid- to long-range engagements: the New Razor® HD Gen III 4-24×44 FFP Riflescope available now in MOA and MRAD.

At 12.5″ long and weighing just 32.3 ounces, the Razor®HD Gen III 4-24×44 FFP Riflescope offers a more compact optic for today’s more compact rifles.

Smaller Size. Bigger Impact.

Built to fit more compact DMR-style rifles, this new Razor^® reduces form factor without compromising on optical horsepower or clarity. The 4-24×44 configuration allows for a wide field of view for identifying targets, with ample magnification to engage at longer ranges. With the Razor’s legendary glass and sophisticated optical system, shooters can quickly identify targets throughout the magnification range in high stakes scenarios where speed is essential.

Every component in the Razor^® HD Gen III 4-24×44 FFP Riflescope is optimized for versatility and speed.

The Versatility to Conquer Any Environment.

Internally, the Razor^® HD Gen III 4-24×44 FFP Riflescope brings together a powerful suite of mid- to long-range tools. The EBR-7D FFP illuminated reticle reduces visual clutter, pushing wind hold numbers out to maintain a clear sight picture while still providing plenty of subtension data for more refined holds. At the same time, cross-plex and center dot rotary illumination power lower mag engagements, keeping you on target in any light.

The L-Tec+™ Zero System and locking elevation turret also enable shooters to quickly dial adjustments with the confidence of an immediate return to zero. The complete package combines all the tools pros need to win when
facing dynamic, unpredictable shooting scenarios.

A Razor® HD Gen III for Every Job.

The Razor^® HD Gen III 4-24×44 FFP Riflescope slots perfectly into the Razor^® HD Gen III lineup, filling the middle ground between the Razor® HD Gen III 1-10×24 FFP Riflescope and the Razor® HD Gen III 6-36×56 FFP Riflescope.
