SOF Week 2023: ANDURIL SENTRY A CONFIGURABLE INTRUSION DETECTION SYSTEM
With the expanding role of the UAV and SUAV on the battlefield, it’s essential that the defense sector deliver configurable intrusion detection systems effective against land, sea and air threats. To that end ANDRUIL introduced the SENTRY system. Unique to SENTRY is the ability to be configured for all applications and theaters of operations. Sentry uses artificial intelligence to provide highly accurate, persistent autonomous awareness across land, sea and air. With an AI-enabled edge processing, continuous 360 pan / tilt and a variety of radars and sensors, Sentry can autonomously identify, detect and track objects of interest to bring increased security to borders, military bases, oil and gas pipelines, airports and other critical infrastructure.
The configuration depicted in the picture above is the company’s Long Range Sentry Tower. It uses a total of four continuous wave radar modules operating in the Ka frequency range. This array provides simultaneous 360-degree detection with sufficient resolution to detect and track Group 1 through Group 3 UAVs.
- Group 1
Size: Small
Maximum Gross Takeoff Weight (MGTW) (lbs.): 0-20 - Group 2
Size: Medium
Maximum Gross Takeoff Weight (MGTW) (lbs.): 21-55 - Group 3
Size: Large
Maximum Gross Takeoff Weight (MGTW) (lbs.): <1320
The SENTRY system has a range of 2–4km for Group 1 and Group 2 threats and 15 km for Group 3 and larger threats. It’s powered via solar panels and when fully configured weighs approximately 1500 lbs..

Hornady Security® RAPiD® Safe Ready Vault™ Series Feature Big-Time Security for Small Spaces – Now Available with WiFi
Hornady Security® RAPiD® Safe Ready Vault™ Series Feature Big-Time Security for Small Spaces – Now Available with WiFi
Grand Island, NE (May 11, 2023) – Secure firearm storage is essential for responsible gun owners. The RAPiD® Safe Ready Vault Series is loaded with modern technology and proven security features to keep firearms secure while accessible. Hornady Security® RAPiD Safes offer quick, dependable firearm access using patented RFID technology while providing unmatched security from unauthorized users.
The RAPiD Safe Ready Vault series includes the Ready Vault and the Compact Ready Vault. The bigger Ready Vault accommodates up to six long guns and fourteen handguns. The Compact Ready Vault model, the smaller of the two in the series, is sized for storing two pistols and up to three shotguns or rifles.
RAPiD Safe Ready Vaults use patented RFID lock-opening technology. Swiping an RFID-equipped wristband, key fob, or decal over the safe’s sensor instantly opens the vault door. A programmable digital keypad and mechanical key offer additional entry methods. An AC-powered lock with battery backup provides 24/7 protection and rapid access. Programming RFID locks add the convenience of opening multiple safes with the same tags.
The new RAPiD Safe Ready Vault with WiFi wirelessly sends entry notifications through the Hornady app to a phone or other portable device. This feature alerts owners to critical information about authorized (and unauthorized) vault entries.
The safe’s internal SQUARE-LOK™ walls create a customizable organizing system that allows the included gun racks and other SQUARE-LOK™ accessories to be mounted in numerous configurations to maximize storage. Add-on accessories compatible with SQUARE-LOK™ include Hornady Security LED lights, magnetic hooks, hygrometers, and dehumidifiers. A padded neoprene floor mat prevents slipping, allowing guns to be stored upright, while the coated gun racks keep long gun barrels and pistols spaced apart, preventing damage in storage.
Ready Vaults use heavy-duty steel construction and five hardened locking lugs engineered to withstand a barrage of attacks, including prying, dropping, picking, sawing, and targeted hinge attacks. Ready Vaults exceed ASTM international safety standards for security. Pre-drilled mounting holes allow additional security for mounting a heavy household object.
Hornady Security specializes in innovative firearms security storage solutions like RAPiD Safe Ready Vaults. The Ready Vault Series is ideal for the homeowner with a few pistols and long guns or someone who needs a secondary safe.

1911 Operator® 9mm
MFG# PO9229 / UPC# 706397944025
FIRST LOOK: SPRINGFIELD ARMORY 9MM 1911 OPERATOR
It has been said the 1911 is the most perfectly designed pistol ever made. If you might question that, just consider the fact that today in the year 2023 people still talk about the legendary trigger, ergonomics and feel of a 1911. By my quick count, that’s more than 110 years. With that in mind, it’s almost crazy how popular they still currently are. Looks like John Moses Browning knew what he was doing.

Lynred breaks ground on new €85M industrial site for infrared technologies
Lynred breaks ground on new €85M industrial site for infrared technologies
Named Campus, Lynred’s new state-of-the-art industrial facility will meet growing market demand for advanced infrared technologies, notably for automotive sector, whilst bolstering French industrial sovereignty in field
Company’s production capacity set to undergo 50% increase by 2025; 100% by 2030
Grenoble, France, May 10, 2023 – Lynred, a leading global provider of high-quality infrared detectors for the aerospace, defense and commercial markets, today announces breaking ground on its new €85 million ($93.7M) industrial site to produce state-of-the-art infrared technologies. This is the biggest construction investment that the company has undertaken since it began manufacturing in 1986.
The project is financed by loans from the CIC bank and Bpifrance.
Lynred will double its current cleanroom footprint, totaling 8,200 m2 (88,264 ft2), primarily to meet two strategic objectives:
Obtain an optimal cleanroom cleanliness classification for its new high-performance products (hybrid detectors)
Increase the production capacity for its more compact industrial products (bolometers) used in multiple fields, including the automotive industry
This substantial investment will consolidate Lynred’s positioning as European market leader in infrared detection. It enables the company to play a key role within the European defense industrial and technological base, innately woven into strengthening French and European forces, for whom infrared detection is hugely important. With this, Lynred takes a step up in responding to the French government’s call to reorient European industry towards a ‘rearmament economy’ (FR).
To mark the ground breaking on May 10, Jean-François Delepau, chairman of Lynred, planted a holm oak tree.
“I am delighted to see our state-of-the-art industrial site come to life, consolidating our position as the second largest infrared detector manufacturer in the world. This will enable us to respond to growing market demand for next-generation infrared technologies, including in the automotive sector. It will allow us to contribute to bolstering France’s industrial sovereignty and, more generally, to improve our overall industrial performance. Above all, I wish to thank the Lynred teams involved in this major undertaking, as well as all our partners who have supported us, in particular our shareholders, Thales and Safran. Lynred is embarking on a new strategic pathway, both in terms of technology and dynamic growth,” said Mr Delepau.
The buildings are due for completion in the first trimester of 2025 and the site will be fully operational by the following October. This state-of-the-art industrial facility will comprise 8,200 m2 (88,264 ft2) of interconnected cleanrooms (twice the current surface area), 3,400 m2 (36,600ft2) of laboratories, a 2,300 m2 (24,756 ft2) logistics area, and a tertiary and technical area measuring 10,800 m2 (11,625 ft2).
Lynred is looking to increase its production capacity by 50% by 2025, in particular for its bolometer products, with a view to doubling capacity by 2030.
With these new cleanrooms the company will house all of its French production lines in a single location. This will enable synergies amongst core competencies and optimize production flows.
The new buildings will be located on the current Lynred site in Veurey-Voroize, situated within the Grenoble area. They have been designed to ensure optimized energy management and environmental performance: even with 13,600 m2 (146,400 ft2) under construction, the volume of permeable surface will increase. The company will decrease its carbon footprint by 33% and will install 1,800 m2 (19,375 ft2) of solar panels. Moreover, the site will accommodate an additional 320 trees and more than 100 charging stations for electric vehicles (cars and bicycles) will be put in place, with more cycle parking added.
About Lynred
Lynred and its subsidiaries, Lynred USA and Lynred Asia-Pacific, are global leaders in designing and manufacturing high quality infrared technologies for aerospace, defense and commercial markets. It has a vast portfolio of infrared detectors that covers the entire electromagnetic spectrum from near to very far infrared.

SnapSafe® Under Bed Safes Protect Firearms and Valuables
Sleep Soundly – SnapSafe® Under Bed Safes Protect Firearms and Valuables
Grand Island, NE (May 10, 2023) – Some homeowners prefer a shotgun or carbine as a home defense weapon.

The medium safe is best suited to pistols or other valuables like jewelry, documents, data backup hard drives, and extra ammunition.
The digital lock on all Under Bed Safes uses a user-programmable three-to-eight-digit access code. Safes open with a push-button keypad, or key backup. The ability to set multiple safes with the same code means there’s only one number to remember; this feature ensures quick access in a stressful situation!
The Under Bed Safes’ pry-resistant door and heavy-duty 14-gauge steel construction blocks unauthorized users. For added security and to prevent safe theft, all Under Bed Safes come pre-drilled for permanent installation or anchored with a rugged cable – opening the possibility of mounting an Under Bed safe inside a vehicle.

SOF Week 2023: SCI Technologies Aero Strike Counter UAV
SCI Technologies is a SANMINA company. I am familiar with SANMINA, who is a global electronics manufacturer, with over $7 Billion in revenues; headquartered in San Jose, CA. With drones playing an increasingly important role on the battlefield, countermeasures development is a logical evolution. SCI Technologies approach is to not attack a hostile drone via its control link; instead, they equip their drones to detect, track and physically capture the hostile drone by deploying a net. It’s a unique approach that’s been proven to be effective. SCI Technologies is also developing additional capabilities to include ordinance delivery capabilities.
AeroGuard is SCI Technology’s fully autonomous, rapid-response Drone Interdiction System that captures and disposes of any Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) threat described under FAA Part 107 regulations. FAA Part 107 regulates SUAV from .5 lbs. to 55 lbs., this is where you’ll find your DJI sized drones.

Raytheon Technologies introduces OXYJUMP™ NG oxygen supply system for military parachutists
Advanced technology provides advantages for special operations missions – enabling longer glide duration on higher altitude jumps, maximizing oxygen use and reducing system weight
TAMPA, FL (MAY 9, 2023) – Collins Aerospace, a Raytheon Technologies business (NYSE: RTX), introduced its OXYJUMP™ NG oxygen supply system for use in high altitude jumps by parachutists. The OXYJUMP NG system’s breakthrough technology enhances mission capabilities with a longer gliding distance, improves jumper safety, is easy to use and contains significant size and weight advantages over legacy systems.
Existing oxygen supply systems are limited in extended high-altitude operations, restricting the effectiveness and reach of parachute missions.
Utilizing Collins’ oxygen pulse technology – already certified by one NATO country – the OXYJUMP NG system provides customers with a smaller, lighter weight solution which automatically adjusts oxygen levels to enable longer mission profiles.
“The OXYJUMP NG system gives allied armed forces the stealth, readiness and safety necessary to complete the most complex jumps on earth,” said Brad Haselhorst, vice president and general manager of Military, Safety and Cargo Systems at Collins Aerospace. “The OXYJUMP NG system not only keeps up with the evolving nature of combat jumps, but it’s ready for use today.”
Designed for comfort and ease of use, the OXYJUMP NG system operates automatically and includes an ergonomically designed mask to comfortably and securely fit against the face, giving users peace of mind and keeping them focused on their most critical tasks.
Collins Aerospace’s OXYJUMP NG system will be on display at SOF Week in Tampa, Florida at booth L910.

SOF WEEK 2023: AeroVironment Introduces VTOL Kit for Puma AE UAS
AeroVironment Introduces VTOL Kit for Puma AE UAS
New vertical take-off and landing kit expands operational capabilities and streamlines constrained area operations
AeroVironment’s Puma VTOL Kit enables rooftop launch and landing
(Image: AeroVironment, Inc.)
ARLINGTON, Va., May 9, 2023 – AeroVironment, Inc. today introduced the Puma™ VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) kit, designed for plug-and-play integration into Puma 2 AE and Puma 3 AE small unmanned aircraft systems (SUAS). The optional Puma VTOL kit expands the operational capabilities of the combat-proven Puma system in complex terrain, as neither runway nor large open space are required for launch and recovery of the VTOL-equipped Puma, allowing operators to launch anywhere, anytime.
Leveraging AeroVironment’s Crysalis™ ground control solution, the added VTOL capability now allows a single Puma operator to execute missions and streamline operations through features like one-button launch and recovery.
“The modern battlefield offers varying types of complex terrain features, both natural and manmade, that can pose challenges to small unit operations and their use of unmanned aircraft. Our new Puma VTOL kit provides the operator with a wider range of launch and land capabilities, enhancing the unit’s mission while further safeguarding its personnel during these periods of transitional flight,” said Shane Hastings, AeroVironment’s vice president and product line general manager for small UAS. “The VTOL kit converts the Puma AE into a highly precise and agile ISR asset where a single operator can effortlessly launch the aircraft from a small space and attain mission-critical information of enemy forces in a timely manner and land on a desired rooftop or other small, targeted areas.”
Integration of the Puma VTOL kit requires minimal one-time modifications to the aircraft’s airframe by qualified personnel. Once modified, the plug-and-play Puma VTOL kit can be easily added or removed in the field within a couple of minutes, allowing operators to quickly transition between a fixed-wing and VTOL platform to suit varying mission needs with a single aircraft.
Available as an add-on option for new Puma 3 AE system orders and as a retrofit kit for already fielded Puma 2 AE and Puma 3 AE aircraft, both fielded and new aircraft can take advantage of this VTOL capability. To learn more about the new operational capabilities of Puma AE and Puma VTOL kit, visit www.avinc.com/pumaae.

Liemke Introduces German-Made Luchs-1 and Luchs-2 Thermal Optics
San Antonio, Texas (May 9, 2023) – Liemke, a leader in high-definition thermal imaging for hunting, is pleased to introduce the premium Luchs line of thermal optics. Made in Wetzlar, Germany, the Liemke Luchs (or Lynx as translated in English) incorporates the latest in thermal technology in these versatile devices that can be clipped onto any daytime riflescope or used as a handheld monocular.
Fast and quiet with a startup time of only five seconds for both Luchs models, and a standby mode for immediate activation, the Luchs-1 has a 35mm lens with heat signature detection range of up to 1,750 meters while the Luchs-2 has a 50mm lens with heat detection up to 2,500 meters.
Luchs thermals have a whisper-quiet calibration procedure with a rapid refresh rate of 50 Hz and are easy and intuitive to operate. Both models feature a 1024×768 OLED color display and a 640×512 12 µm VOx sensor for high contrast and detailed images. The Luchs-1 delivers a large field of view of 22 meters at 100 meters and an image that completely fills within the daytime riflescope at 2x magnification. The Luchs-2 has a field of view of 15.4 meters at 100 meters. Two image modes provide optimal detail rendition in varying weather conditions and there are five color modes, including an Extra Dark mode setting for glare-free images at night.
Easy and intuitive to operate, the Luchs thermal units have internal memory of 32 GB and a Wi-Fi function for live streaming via an app. Users can capture photos and videos of their hunt on the internal memory even while streaming live, and these can be transferred later via USB-C port. The built-in rechargeable battery has a run time of up to 9 hours and the three-position switch – On/Standby/Off – can be used to extend battery life in the field.
“Liemke is the top thermal optics brand in Germany, and the new German-made Luchs line raises the bar even higher when it comes to quality and performance,” said Jason Evans, CEO Blaser Group USA. “American hunters will recognize and appreciate the premium Made in Germany construction, advanced thermal technology, and high-definition performance the Luchs thermal optics deliver. Aptly named after the lynx, the Luchs-1 and 2 models deliver outstanding thermal night vision for hunters.”
Settings are easily adjusted on the Luchs units, and the hunter’s preference is saved when the device is turned off and available every time the device is restarted. The tough, shock-resistant aluminum housing is rain and dust protected in accordance with IP67, and the objective lens is protected by a scratch-resistant Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) coating for extra protection in the field. The Luchs-1 weighs 20.5 ounces and Luchs-2 weighs 22.4 ounces.

DroneUp and Wonder Robotics Collaborate on Precision Technology to Enhance DroneUp’s Delivery Operation
DroneUp and Wonder Robotics Collaborate on Precision Technology to Enhance DroneUp’s Delivery Operation
Virginia Beach, VA – May 9, 2023 – DroneUp, a leading autonomous drone delivery provider, and Wonder Robotics, an Israeli startup for autonomous solutions for drones and eVTOLs, completed a successful initial operational evaluation on DroneUp’s drone platform to achieve a higher level of autonomy and safety. Wonder Robotics’s autonomy technology will allow DroneUp to continue growing operations while maintaining its commitment to safety.
For the evaluation, Wonder Robotics’ proprietary“WonderLand” solution was installed on DroneUp drones, enabling smart precision autonomous landing, accurate winch delivery, and an advanced contingency plan. In addition to the improvements to precision, the WonderLand technology will allow a single flight engineer to safely and autonomously oversee multiple drone deliveries simultaneously, a crucial aspect to scaling DroneUp’s operation.
“Our technology is a BVLOS scale operation enabler for scalable drone services allowing the service provider or mission manager to safely operate multiple drones per site,” said Idan Shimon, co-founder, and CEO of Wonder Robotics. “Wonder Robotics’ goal is to provide a reliable technology that will make drone services safe and economical and to help with future regulatory rules for scalable, safe drone delivery.”
Wonder Robotics’ WonderLand technology includes vertical awareness (Vertical Detect And Avoid) and robust precision landing, allowing drones to operate in scale while beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) from an operator or visual observer. In urban environments, this includes obstacle avoidance systems so drones can navigate around common settings such as trees, buildings, cables, and more to safely deliver packages quickly.
“Commitment to safe operation is our top priority, and exploring cutting-edge technology like Wonderland is so important to stay on that course,” said John Vernon, CTO of DroneUp. “Not only does implementing this into our tech stack improve individual deliveries, but it also gives us a clearer path towards scaling our operation as drone delivery becomes more and more popular every year.”
DroneUp will be validating Wonder Robotics’ technology in several areas through more operational flight tests.
About DroneUp
DroneUp is a drone flight services provider with drone delivery and drone technology solutions focused on the future of drone services, providing intelligent access to airspace, automation innovation, streamlined process management, operational efficiency, and a commitment to safety.

Firearm Industry Surpasses $16 Billion in Pittman-Robertson Excise Tax Contributions for Conservation
Firearm Industry Surpasses $16 Billion in Pittman-Robertson Excise Tax Contributions for Conservation
May 9, 2023
WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, celebrated a milestone achievement after announcing firearm and ammunition manufacturers topped $16.1 billion in excise tax contributions to the Wildlife Restoration Trust Fund since its inception in 1937. When adjusted for inflation, the total is more than $25 billion. The latest Firearms and Ammunition Excise Tax (FAET) Collection report released by the Department of the Treasury, covering the 4th Quarter Calendar Year 2022, indicates that firearm and ammunition manufacturers contributed more than $235 million, the third-highest 4th calendar-quarter in history.
“The entire firearm and ammunition industry should celebrate this truly outstanding achievement and take pride in this announcement,” said NSSF President and CEO Joe Bartozzi. “The firearm and ammunition industry understands the conservation of wildlife and the habitats in which they thrive are invaluable. They are critical to future generations taking part in hunting and the recreational shooting sports traditions and learning about their vital importance. The Wildlife Restoration Trust Fund, funded significantly by taxes paid by firearm and ammunition manufacturers, is responsible for the restoration and recovery of America’s iconic game species across the country, including the Rocky Mountain elk, whitetail deer, pronghorn antelope, wild turkey and a variety of waterfowl. These contributions have also facilitated the remarkable recovery of the majestic American bald eagle, of which there are now more than 316,000 in the lower 48 states. The firearm and ammunition industry is filled with pride to achieve this landmark for conservation funding and the role our industry plays to ensure America’s wildlife is perpetuated for future generations.”
The astonishing total represents more than $1 billion contributed to conservation since announcing crossing the $15 billion contribution threshold just 12 months ago. It was less than one year before that remarkable achievement that NSSF announced Firearm and Ammunition Excise Tax contributions surpassed $14 billion.
The Wildlife Restoration Trust Fund, commonly known as the Pittman-Robertson fund, is funded by excise taxes paid by firearm and ammunition manufacturers on their products, as well as archery equipment manufacturers. The excise tax is set at 11 percent of the wholesale price for long guns and ammunition and 10 percent of the wholesale price for handguns. The excise tax, paid by manufacturers and importers, applies to all firearms produced or imported for commercial federal law enforcement sales, whether the purpose is for recreational shooting, hunting or personal defense. The tax is administered by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) of the Department of the Treasury, which turns the funds over to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).
USFWS deposits the Pittman-Robertson revenues into a special account called the Wildlife Restoration Trust Fund administered by the USFWS. These funds are made available to states and territories the year following their collection based on a statutory formula.
These 10 to 11 percent excise tax dollars collected since 1937 under the Pittman-Robertson Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act are specifically designated to be used by state wildlife agencies for conservation and related purposes. Collectively, purchasers of firearms and ammunition, hunters and the industry are the greatest source of wildlife conservation funding.
About NSSF
NSSF is the trade association for the firearm industry. Its mission is to promote, protect and preserve hunting and the shooting sports. Formed in 1961, NSSF has a membership of thousands of manufacturers, distributors, firearm retailers, shooting ranges, sportsmen’s organizations and publishers nationwide.

JFD SHOWCASES NEW TACTICAL DIVING VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY AT SOF WEEK 2023 AHEAD OF DELIVERY TO US PARTNER
JFD SHOWCASES NEW TACTICAL DIVING VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY AT SOF WEEK 2023 AHEAD OF DELIVERY TO US PARTNER
• JFD prepares to deliver first production model of Shadow Seal to US partners Blue Tide Marine for training and demonstration purposes
• Shadow Seal combines proven technology with an adaptable platform ready to meet current and future SOF requirements
• Strengthening commitment to expanding US presence and subsea maritime capability
JFD – part of James Fisher and Sons plc – has launched its advanced four man tactical diving platform, Shadow Seal, during SOF Week 2023, ahead of delivery to United States partner Blue Tide Marine (BTM) for demonstration and training purposes.
Shadow Seal is an adaptable and extremely capable lightweight Tactical Diving Vehicle (TDV) able to transport a pilot, navigator and two passengers in surface, semi submerged and submerged mode with a range of 80nm.
Shadow Seal offers unparalleled underwater maneuverability to Special Operations Forces required to covertly cross the expanding offshore and littoral water gap. Adaptable to suit a variety of ISTAR and combat requirements, the platform provides sophisticated protection to complex, high value platforms and critical infrastructure.
A strategic partnership with BTM was announced in March 2022 as part of JFD’s commitment to expanding its US presence and subsea maritime capability. BTM subsequently purchased the first production model of Shadow Seal to provide local demonstration and training services – significant milestone in JFD’s journey towards a full turnkey US capability, inclusive of TDV provision and follow on support services throughout the product lifecycle.
Bob Pudney, President, Blue Tide Marine, comments:
“We are excited to bring this collaborative effort of JFD and BTM to the subsea sector and look forward to the delivery of the Shadow Seal. This multi-mission capable platform provides an opportunity to modernize the undersea capabilities of SOCOM, the US Navy and other agency partners with advanced mission focused technology, extended range and offers practical training and in service support.”
JFD has been working closely with the BTM team during production at JFD’s facility in Glasgow, UK, and final in-water trials, FATS (Factory Acceptance Trials) and HATS (Harbor Acceptance Trials) are currently underway prior to delivery to BTM in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in coming months. JFD will continue to offer support and training as the craft is delivered to the US.
Rob Hales, JFD Managing Director, says:
“The BTM partnership ensures that we can offer innovative solutions to modern day challenges; such as the current capability gap in littoral maneuver; with first class in-country demonstration and training. JFD is committed to further developing our in-country capabilities including through-life support services and this upcoming, important delivery milestone reflects a significant milestone in our mission to better serve the US and wider Americas undersea markets.”
Shadow Seal was first developed by Ortega Submersibles in The Netherlands which was acquired by JFD in 2019 and has since undergone further development and rigorous trials. JFD has combined 40 years’ experience within the subsea domain with proven technology; found within JFD’s Carrier Seal which is in operation with a number of the World’s Navies. Recent upgrades included in the latest Shadow Seal include expansion of available battery power enhancing range and endurance capacity of the craft.
JFD will be exhibiting alongside BTM at SOF Week 2023 on 8-11 May 2023, and will be displaying a prototype model of Shadow Seal (MK1D) on Stand 501 at the Tampa Convention Centre. SOF Week is an important opportunity for JFD US to promote its world-leading capabilities in the underseas sector, and our UK and US team will be on hand to discuss Shadow Seal and wider JFD Special Operations capabilities.

Celebrate Spring with Big Horn Armory’s Sunshine Sale
Celebrate Spring with Big Horn Armory’s Sun Shine Sale
Save over $200 on an AR500 rifle or pistol when purchased between May 8 – 14, 2023.
Cody, Wyo. (May 2023) – Big Horn Armory (BHA), makers of big-bore firearms, is offering 10 percent off, a savings of over $200, any new BHA AR500 semi-auto rifle or pistol purchased directly from the website between May 8 – 14, 2023. BHA is currently shipping the AR500 from stock and a service representative will contact you within 48 hours to discuss options.
The AR500 rifle is an AR rifle like no other. Chambered in 500 Auto Max, BHA’s groundbreaking AR500 Rifle is the most powerful AR firearm available. BHA was not content with the big bore cartridge offerings available in the AR platform, so the company made its own. The logical choice was something to match the power and versatility of BHA’s Model 89 Lever Action in 500 Smith & Wesson Magnum. The result was the development of the 500 Auto Max, a rimless 500 S&W Magnum to feed in a semi-automatic rifle.
BHA’s bold AR design and big bore 500 Auto Max cartridge put an unparalleled amount of power into a pleasant shooting, rapid-firing, versatile rifle. This combination of size, familiar manual-of-arms, available accessories, and energy on target make the AR500 Rifle ready to handle almost any situation. The AR500 is also available in an ATF-compliant pistol configuration: the AR500 semi-auto pistol.
The 500 Auto Max is a rimless 500 S&W Magnum that is easy to obtain or reload. A very versatile cartridge, it can be had in loaded ammunition with bullets ranging from 350grns to an amazing 600grns. The handloader can utilize over 55 different bullets ranging from 200grns to 700grns in almost any bullet type imaginable, including hard cast, jacket hollow points, monolithic solids, etc. This unprecedented range of bullet weight and design make the AR500 suitable for anything from prairie dogs to pachyderms to Peterbilt’s. Truck stopping power in a platform weighing less than 10 pounds. Factory ammunition for the 500 Auto Max is available through Buffalo Bore, Steinel Ammunition, Underwood Ammunition, and Defiant Munitions.
Whether it is packing 36,800 ft. lbs. of energy in a lever-action, or building the most powerful AR on the market, BHA’s goal is to give the customer the biggest bang for his or her buck.

About Big Horn Armory:
Big Horn Armory was founded in 2008 with the expressed intention of designing a Browning-type lever-action gun chambered in 500 Smith & Wesson Magnum. The Big Horn Armory Model 89, made in America, closely follows the work of John Browning with refinements courtesy of modern metallurgy and machining capabilities. The first rifles began shipping in September of 2012 and since then, BHA has added to their big bore lineup with a Model 90 Carbine in 460 S&W, the Model 90A in 454 Casull, the Model 90B in .45 Colt, the Model 89A in 500 Linebaugh and the Model 89B in .475 Linebaugh. In 2017, Big Horn Armory took a departure from its lever-action series and developed the AR500 Auto Max, the most powerful short-range, semi-auto based on an AR .308 platform.

D1xTM makes the transition from vehicles to operators
D1xTM makes the transition from vehicles to operators
San Diego, CA, May 8th, 2023 – Torrey Pines Logic Inc. (TPL), the leader in electro-optical devices for the military, announces that D1xTM Laser Detector, the Personal Laser Warning Detector, makes its transition from vehicles to operators.
Helping to keep our military safe when they are in theatre, D1xTM, a passive laser warning receiver, protects operators from snipers, UAVs and many other battlefield platforms.
D1X™ is a passive laser warning receiver. It is designed to detect, and coarsely locate laser emissions in the field, from laser pointing/illuminating devices and rangefinders. The device enhanced safety and survivability for today’s battlefield environment covering all classes of commercial and military laser devices.
D1X™ will alert its wearer of laser emissions in visible, nearIR and SWIR through selectable audible, visual, and tactile feedback. The device can also be connected to a management system or provide laser warning for a defensive aid platform via USB C port.
To protect operators from attacks, a sensor can be used and integrated into various battlefield solutions to enhance safety as well as mitigate friendly fire incidents be alerting the operator of incoming laser emissions. D1X™ has an extremely low false alarm rate with a typical response time of less than 50 milliseconds. The system can be used as worn front of back or attached to a helmet.
Dr. Leo Volfson, President, Torrey Pines Logic, commented:
“What could be more important than the safety of our military in theatre. The new Personal Laser Warning Detector, D1X™, will allow operators to feel safe when they are put in dangerous situations. We are delighted to be showcasing our technology at SOF Week and would be pleased to welcome SOF Week visitors to our booth”.
