FAA Awards $100M to Develop Next Generation of Sustainable Aircraft Technology

Posted on Monday, 13 September, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

FAA Awards $100M to Develop Next Generation of Sustainable Aircraft Technology

WASHINGTON –The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has awarded more than $100 million for companies to help develop technologies that reduce fuel use, emissions and noise. The award is part of a series of steps President Biden is taking to coordinate leadership and innovation across the federal government, aircraft manufacturers, airlines, fuel producers and more to position American aviation to soar towards net zero emissions by 2050. This FAA announcement is part of those efforts.

“Across the country, communities have been devastated by the effects of climate change – but, if we act now, we can ensure that aviation plays a central role in the solution,” said Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. “These awards will help America lead the world in sustainable aviation.”

The Continuous Lower Energy, Emissions and Noise (CLEEN) Program is a public-private partnership that began in 2010 and is a key part the FAA’s overall strategy to tackle the global challenge of climate change and lower the impact aviation has on communities. The program requires the companies receiving the contracts to match or exceed the FAA’s investment, bringing the total to at least $200 million over a five-year period.  The awards are the third phase of the FAA’s CLEEN program.

FAA Investment
Under CLEEN Phase III, the FAA and six industry partners will focus on reducing aviation emissions and noise, including pursuing goals of reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by improving fuel efficiency by at least 20 percent below the relevant International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standard; NOx emissions by 70 percent relative to the most recent ICAO standard; particulate matter emissions below the ICAO standard; and noise by 25 dB cumulative relative to the FAA Stage 5 standard.

General Electric Aviation will develop an advanced engine propulsion system and advanced acoustic improvements to reduce noise and fuel consumption; electric and hybrid-electric systems to increase fuel efficiency; and advanced combustion and thermal management systems to reduce emissions and fuel consumption. The company also will support the evaluation of alternative jet fuels that could enable further aircraft performance improvements.
Honeywell Aerospace will develop a more efficient engine fan, combustion system, compressor, and turbine to reduce noise, emissions, and fuel consumption.
Pratt & Whitney will develop an ultra-quiet engine fan and an advanced combustion system to reduce noise, emissions, and fuel consumption.
Boeing will develop technologies to reduce noise from the wings, landing gear, and engine inlets. The company also will support the evaluation of alternative jet fuels that could enable further aircraft performance improvements, and help to develop new algorithms that enable aircraft to fly quieter, more fuel-efficient routes.
Delta TechOps, GKN Aerospace, MDS Coating, and America’s Phenix will work together to develop erosion-resistant fan blade coatings to reduce fuel consumption over the life of an engine.
Rohr Inc. will develop acoustic technology to reduce the noise from engine exhausts.

The FAA also is pursuing agreements with Rolls-Royce Corporation and Safran Nacelles.

“Like our quest for safer skies, making flying sustainable requires us to constantly look for ways to improve,” said FAA Administrator Steve Dickson.

The CLEEN technologies developed so far are estimated to reduce CO2 emissions equivalent to removing 3 million cars from the road by 2050 and to save the aviation industry 36 billion gallons of fuel. The fuel savings is the equivalent of 11.4 million Boeing 737 flights between New York and Los Angeles.

Continuing Success 
Examples of the accomplishments from the FAA’s $225 million invested in the CLEEN Phase I and Phase II include:

Enhanced jet engine combustion systems have entered the aviation fleet, resulting in lower emissions.
Advanced aircraft wings made of stronger and lighter-weight materials are supporting innovative development of current and future aircraft.
Flight Management System algorithms have been created under CLEEN to enable aircraft to fly more fuel-efficient routes.
Several alternative jet fuels have been certified for safe use, due in part to testing and evaluation efforts conducted under CLEEN.

The FAA anticipates that technologies developed under CLEEN Phase III could be introduced into commercial aircraft by 2031.

See the CLEEN Program website for more program information and detailed descriptions of CLEEN technologies and benefits.

HENSOLDT to support Frontex maritime surveillance project.

Posted on Monday, 13 September, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

26 Aug 21. HENSOLDT to support Frontex maritime surveillance project. ARGOS-II HD thermal imaging camera to be deployed on aerostats. Leading-edge sensor technology developed by HENSOLDT will strengthen Frontex maritime surveillance in the Mediterranean Sea and contribute to the protection of Europe’s strategic south-eastern border. In the frame of a technology pilot program, HENSOLDT’s ARGOS-II HD electro-optical infra-red (eoir) system will be deployed on two tethered aerostats and deliver extensive security surveillance.

The project is operated by Frontex – the European Border and Coast Guard Agency – which has the mandate to safeguard the external borders of the European Union and ensure the freedom and territorial integrity of member states.

Andreas Huelle, Head of HENSOLDT’s Optronics Division, says: “This innovative technology offers Frontex the ability to monitor a very strategic maritime coastline and collect critical data. This is a capability that has been identified as a strategic priority by both the EU and the United Nations.”

The ARGOS-II HD forms part of an integrated turn-key solution that consists of advanced sensors that are fitted on two aerostats, provided by CNIM Air Space, tethered on Greek islands in the Aegean Sea. At altitudes of several hundred meters above the host islands the ARGOS-II covers a range of up to 40 km and can detect both large and small vessels and monitor activities with exceptional clarity and detail. It is in operation 24/7,day and night, even in inclement weather. The continuous zoom thermal imaging camera records the images and transmit video and data in real time to base stations on the ground.

“Argos II is one of the best eoir sensors in the market today and will provide Frontex with accurate, real-time information on activities in the maritime environment and enable it to analyze situations and initiate respective counter measures”, says Mischa Niedinger, Director of Airborne Systems Sales at HENSOLDT.

The ARGOS-II HD system can be fitted onto fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles and aerostats. It is used extensively in border protection, search and rescue operations, maritime patrols, law enforcement and asset protection. It is already widely used in the security and surveillance environments, including by the German Federal Police where it is deployed in anti-smuggling, illegal trafficking, and border security operations.

Safariland CADRE Golob Takes Back-To-Back Women’s Title Wins in Wyoming

Safariland®, a leading global provider of safety products designed for public safety, military, professional and outdoor markets, announced that Safariland CADRE, Julie Golob won titles at the NRA Steamboat Challenge Action Pistol Regional and Wyoming State Championships in a back-to-back match weekend hosted by the Otto Road Shooting Range in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

The double match weekend kicked off with the Steamboat Challenge Regional featuring classic action pistol courses of fire: Moving Target, Barricade, Plates, and Practical. Julie secured 1st place finish among women, and 4th place finish in the Open Division. She took the overall stage win for the Barricade Event with a perfect 480 score.

With regional championships crowned, the Wyoming State match repeated two courses, Moving Target and Plates, with the two remining courses being selected at random. In Golob’s case, International Rapid Fire and Modified Barricade were selected, adding a twist and excitement with no previous opportunity to shoot either course. In the Wyoming State Championships, Golob was named the Ladies Champion while earning a 3rd place podium finish in the Open Division. Despite it being a first-time run, Golob tied for first with High Master Mark Itzstein for top honors on the Modified Barricade.

“I use the Safariland ELS system with a 776 magnetic pouch to conveniently store all my mags in Action Pistol,” said Golob. “I also like to keep a spare 771 pouch with me. It’s designed to give a fast and efficient reload and it came in handy for the Modified Barricade.”

In both competitions, Julie Golob was outfitted with the same guns and gear. In addition to her Safariland ELS Rig, her setup includes a custom Smith & Wesson 9mm 911 with Trijicon MRO optic, custom loaded Federal Premium ammunition, and Caldwell safety gear.

“Safariland is very proud of CADRE Golob’s accomplishments and thankful for her outstanding representation of our brand.

The Most Comfortable Rifle You Will Ever Shoot

Posted on Friday, 10 September, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

The Most Comfortable Rifle You Will Ever Shoot

CAA USA CEO, LTC. (Ret.) Mikey Hartman, reveals details of the newly minted “AGADA” P.C.C. rifle via the company’s YouTube Channel. The AGADA, Hebrew for “Legend,” will be officially unveiled at 2021 NASGW Expo.

Pompano Beach, Fla. (September 2021) – CAA USA, designers and developers of the world-famous MCK/Micro Conversion Kit, have just released new details regarding their new pistol caliber carbine on the company’s YouTube Channel. LTC. (Ret.) Mikey Hartman, CEO of CAA USA, announces in the video that the PCC has been named the AGADA, a Hebrew word for “Legend.” At an MSRP of $899.00, the AGADA will accept 9mm and in the future 10mm GLOCK magazines.

Hartman goes further into detail, citing the various components of the new “human-designed” rifle that breaks with a 500-year-old rifle design tradition. “Most of my 22-year military career I spent training the IDF army on how to shoot a rifle. When I established the marksmanship / sharpshooting school and wrote the shooting doctrine, I tried to find a system that would prepare each and every soldier for combat and to achieve the desired outcome. The very way soldiers held their rifles always frustrated me, whether it was a Galil, M4 or Tavor. The gun is just not designed for the human body. We, by definition, must contort our body to hold the pistol grip, pull trigger, hold forward grip, and even place our head on the stock / cheekpiece. When we started to design our new rifle, I did so with that in mind and adjusted, sometimes radically, every point of contact of our body with the rifle. It will be the most comfortable gun you will ever hold. That I guarantee”.

The patent-pending AGADA rifle will have some familiar features such as a gas blow-back operation and will be available for right and left-hand shooters. It will also use existing GLOCK magazines, as well as CAA USA proprietary magazines. It will be available in three basic configurations:

 

  • · 16-inch rifle
  • · 10-inch NFA SBR
  • · 10-inch Carbine with faux suppressor pinned and welded to an OAL of 16-inches

·

Where the AGADA breaks design tradition is in the stock, lower receiver, pistol grip, trigger, and forward grip. The adjustable cheekpiece features an increased surface area that keeps the shooter’s head in an optimal upright position while the stock is resting on and against the shoulder. The folding stock folds to the opposite side and will be capable of firing when folded.

The unique design of the magwell is an oversized opening that allows the user faster mag insertions without removing the head or taking eyes off the target during reloading. The integrated pistol grip curls forward and off the side of the lower, putting the user in more of a “boxer” like position, as well as a more natural continuation of the arm. The AGADA will have an incorporated last-round, bolt-hold-open with release lever feature, in addition to two safeties. One will be in the pistol grip and the other will be an ambidextrous safety in the lower.

The AGADA’s fire control group is unlike a traditional rearward pull. It exploits the natural flow of the arm in the boxing position by using a downward pull to activate the very light 2.5 lbs. trigger pull. The ergonomic forward grip is off-set and angled forward and can quickly be adjusted to any shooter’s specific requirements without removal from the rail.

For more information on the new AGADA rifle, see the video on CAA USA’s YouTube page.

Comer, Ga. (September 2021) – MasterPiece Arms (MPA), manufacturer of precision Pistol, BA Rifles and Chassis Systems, is proud to unveil its newest competition pistol, based on the preferences of MPA Pro Shooter Travis Tomasie, in the DS Pistol Line: the MPA DS40 Travis Tomasie (TT) Competition Pistol. Chambered in 40 S&W, the DS40 TT Comp Pistol meets Major Power Factor scoring under the rules of the United States Practical Shooting Association (USPSA) and the International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC).

“We were excited to work with Travis to create this competition-ready pistol,” commented Phil Cashin, owner and president of MPA. “Travis’ years of experience and knowledge in the competitive shooting marketplace helped us hone in on what features matter most when it comes to competition. We’ve created something really special here that we think any competitor in USPSA or IPSC will find value in.”

Providing incredible accuracy and reliability, the specific features for this pistol include aggressive texturing on the MPA Grip, which helps shooters keep a firm grip on their pistol during fast-paced competitions. It also includes traditional dovetail cuts for the adjustable front and rear sights, a Bomar-style rear sight, competition magwell (for 140mm mags or larger – incorporates a self-centering radius funnel design), and two MBX 140mm 40 Cal magazines. It is ideal for USPSA Limited Division.

“I’m proud to have partnered with MPA in developing a truly remarkable competition pistol. Built to my specifications and combining superior components with precision craftsmanship, the DS40 TT Comp Pistol is ready to race right out of the box,” Tomasie said.

As with all DS Pistols, all parts of the MPA DS40 TT Comp Pistol are machined in the USA from barstock and billet and include no MIM, castings, or forgings. The components machined by MPA include the full-length steel, light rail five-inch frame, slide, MPA 416R stainless bull barrel, stainless steel beavertail/grip safety, stainless steel ambidextrous safety, stainless steel slide stop, firing pin stop, ejector, magwell, and a 7075 black anodized aluminum grip.

The DS40 TT Comp Pistol also includes a Koenig hammer, sear, and disconnector, Wolff Springs, custom machined aluminum trigger shoe, and a one-piece stainless guide rod. It features a 2.5 lb. trigger pull. The pistol will ship with a pull weight between 2 lbs. 6 oz. – 2 lbs. 10 oz. and will relax to 2 lbs. after the pistol is broken in. The FGW slide serrations with slide lightening cuts create less reciprocating mass. Each pistol is hand-built, including lapping the slide/frame interface, and comes competition-ready in a custom MPA single pistol case with a lifetime warranty.

Tomasie is a multiple world and national IPSC and USPSA champion. He is an Army Veteran and former member of the US Army Marksmanship Unit. He has been featured and prominently starred on TV’s “MythBusters,” “Shooting USA,” “Gallery of Guns,” and a host of other shows. He has founded his own training academy, where he teaches a variety of students in many segments, including competition, self-defense, beginners, as well as military and law enforcement. One of the most dynamic and engaging teachers in the industry, Tomasie has coached and mentored many of today’s top shooters to remarkable success, including numerous national championship victories. As a student of the game, he constantly strives to advance the art and science of high-performance marksmanship.

President Biden Withdraws Nomination of David Chipman for ATF Director

NEWTOWN, Conn. — The National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF®), the firearm industry trade association, is pleased to learn of President Joe Biden’s decision to withdraw the nomination of David Chipman to become the Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).

NSSF led the opposition to Chipman’s nomination. Mr. Chipman is clearly unqualified to lead ATF due to his employment as a gun control lobbyist for Everytown for Gun Safety and Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence. He had previously testified on Capitol Hill in favor of gun bans, gun registration and gun control policies that were not in keeping with the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens. He also made denigrating remarks about the 8.4 million first-time gun buyers last year, calling into question his ability to fairly and evenly apply the law as written and firearm regulations.

Chipman was later accused of making racially-denigrating remarks, to which he has yet to answer. NSSF called on The White House or Chipman himself to release his personnel records from his 25 years as an ATF agent. Neither has done so.

“We believe strongly that ATF needs a Senate-confirmed director to lead the brave men and women of ATF,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel. “David Chipman is not that person.”

The firearm industry hopes The White House will now nominate a qualified candidate who possesses executive leadership experience and will apply the law without a political agenda. NSSF has supported every prior nominee in the past, including President Barack Obama’s nomination of B. Todd Jones and more recently President Donald Trump’s nomination of Chuck Canterbury.

NSSF Retail Surveys Show 3.2 Million Estimated First-Time Gun Buyers in First Half of 2021

NSSF Retail Surveys Show 3.2 Million Estimated First-Time Gun Buyers in First Half of 2021

First-Time Gun Buyer

NEWTOWN, Conn. — The National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF®), the firearm industry trade association, surveyed firearm retailers recently, and estimates that over 3.2 million people purchased a firearm for the first time during the first half of 2021.

The survey was conducted to learn the buying habits and factors of this year’s firearm purchasers during the first six months of 2021. Respondents indicated that 33.2 percent of customers, or 3,247,351, purchased a firearm for the first time, based on June’s total of nearly 9.8 million background checks for a gun sale.

“This survey shows that there is a continuing demand signal for firearms from the American public,” said Joe Bartozzi, NSSF President and CEO. “We witnessed each month background check figures associated with a gun sale that are second only to those we saw in last year’s record-breaking totals. These survey results show not only is there a strong and healthy appetite from first-time gun buyers but that there is still room to grow. We are encouraged by the sustained interest in lawful and responsible gun ownership as well as by the manufacturing base which has been challenged to meet this remarkable demand.”

Survey results showed that in the first six months of 2021:

  • · Over 90 percent of retailers reported an increase of African American men purchasing firearms.
  • · Nearly 87 percent of retailers reported an increase of African American women purchasing firearms.
  • · Nearly 84 percent of retailers reported an increase of Hispanic-American men purchasing firearms.
  • · Over 87 percent of retailers reported an increase of Hispanic-American women purchasing firearms.
  • · Over 76.5 percent of retailers reported an increase of Asian-American men purchasing firearms.
  • · Over 82 percent of retailers reported an increase of Asian-American women purchasing firearms.
  • · 22.1 percent of customers purchased a second firearm since their initial purchase.
  • · 44.5 percent of first-time gun buyers in 2021 were under 40.
  • · 45.7 percent asked for information on safety training.
  • · 23.6 percent signed up for safety training.

Work with DoD? NDIA encourages small businesses to respond to Fed Register call

Posted on Friday, 10 September, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

NDIA supports DoD effort to learn from small businesses to improve operations


ARLINGTON, VA – The National Defense Industrial Association urges small businesses to tell the Defense Department their experiences – the good and the bad — in trying to become part of the defense supply chain, the Arlington, Virginia-based trade association announces.

NDIA is assisting the Defense Department’s effort to bring more small businesses to the table. To that end, DoD issued a Federal Register notice Sept. 8<https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/09/08/2021-19352/notice-of-request-for-comments-on-barriers-facing-small-businesses-in-contracting-with-the>, asking small businesses for comments on the hurdles they face in defense contracting. Responses will go directly into the DoD’s overall small-business strategy.

The move comes after an address from Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks to a Pennsylvania commerce gathering Sept. 1. “We are committed to examining the administrative barriers that small businesses face in working with us,” she said. “We will take meaningful action to remove barriers where we can.”

ML Mackey, chair of NDIA’s small-business division, encourages companies – members and non-members – to respond to the DoD’s request with honesty and transparency.

“Remember back to when you first got involved with DoD: What enabled you to engage effectively? Are those mechanisms and pathways still in place? Are they easier? Are they more difficult? These are the things DoD needs to know to clear barriers to bring in more small businesses, creating that rich and diverse defense industrial base that can most effectively support the needs of our warfighters,” she said.

Ally Veres, vice chair of the small-business division, called DoD’s effort a solid step in the right direction. “We’re delighted DoD is reaching out to better understand barriers to entry” she said. “This is a great opportunity for us to provide insight into where well-meaning efforts may have inadvertently brought about unintended consequences for small-business entry and ongoing engagement in the defense industrial base.”

Comments are due by Oct. 25. For details, please see the notice in the Federal Register<https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/09/08/2021-19352/notice-of-request-for-comments-on-barriers-facing-small-businesses-in-contracting-with-the>.

CBRNe Roadmap: State-of-play and future challenges

Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive agents often are regarded as frightening but distant. Many incidents throughout the past decades, and even in recent years, proved us wrong. From the Anthrax letters attack in 2001 to the recent use of chemical weapons in the Syrian civil war and the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the world learned that even in recent years, the threat posed by such agents is not as far from our daily life as we might think.

Parallelly, explosives, especially in the form of IEDs, are one of the elected weapons by terrorists and continue to take a high toll of deaths across the world. The best shield we have against CBRNe threats is to spread knowledge about them, gathering the expertise of first responders and key decision-makers to analyze and therefore learn the best lessons from past incidents and successful counterproliferation. What are the future challenges awaiting us in the upcoming decade? Our top-level panelists will address that and many more CBRNe topics during this discussion.

INDRA, SET TO EQUIP THE AIR FORCE WITH THE WORLD’S MOST ADVANCED RADARS FOLLOWING THE SIGNING OF A CONTRACT WORTH €120 MILLION

Posted on Thursday, 9 September, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

Ignacio Mataix, CEO of Indra, Head of Transport & Defence (T&D)

INDRA, SET TO EQUIP THE AIR FORCE WITH THE WORLD’S MOST ADVANCED RADARS FOLLOWING THE SIGNING OF A CONTRACT WORTH €120 MILLION

· The application of state-of-the-art technologies makes the Lanza 3D one of the most advanced air defense radars, one that’s capable of detecting all kinds of targets, including fifth-generation fighters

· The technology developed by Indra guarantees compatibility and non-interference with 5G operating frequencies, thus facilitating the deployment of ultra-fast mobile communications in Spain

· The Lanza 3D radars are a core element of the NATO air defense network that protects the whole of Europe’s airspace from all kinds of threats. They meet the Alliance’s most demanding requirements and have served in the most complex and demanding environments

Madrid, September 8, 2021.- Indra, one of the leading global technology and consulting companies, will modernize the Air Force’s air surveillance network in the wake of the signing of a contract with the DGAM (Directorate General of Armament and Material) totaling 120 million euros.

The application of state-of-the-art technologies developed by Indra makes the Lanza 3D one of the most advanced and reliable radars on the market, one that’s capable of detecting a wide range of targets, including fifth-generation fighters.

This operation will complement the deployment of this radar throughout the Air Force’s EVAs (Air Surveillance Squadrons), making Spain one of the countries with the most solid air defences in the world.

The new Lanza 3D radars to be supplied in their fixed and deployable versions meet the most demanding technical and operational requirements of the Atlantic Alliance and constitute a core element of NATO’s Integrated Air and Missile Defense System (NATINAMDS) that protects the whole of Europe.

These systems stand out for their high long-range detection capability of all types of aircraft in flight, including fifth-generation fighters with low-detectability (stealth) technologies. They also accurately locate remotely manned aircraft and tactical ballistic missiles, ensuring the necessary early alert of the defense system in the most demanding operating environments (e.g., at very low altitudes and in the presence of electronic disturbances and countermeasures). This will be combined with the highest availability and operational reliability.

Moreover, the new fixed radars developed by Indra will facilitate the deployment of the 5G communications network in Spain. Thanks to its technology, the Lanza 3D radar will pave the way for the complete and unlimited deployment of a service that will increase the speed of communications tenfold, replacing other radars of non-national technology which have reached the final phase of their life cycle and are currently operating on a frequency band that interferes with these kinds of communications.

In addition to the supply of the Lanza 3D, Indra will integrate the radars into the Command and Control Groups of the Aerospace Surveillance and Control System and contribute the elements required to maintain the Air Force’s autonomy in their operation, providing logistical support for the new systems.

The constant technological evolution of the Lanza 3D family of radars can be traced back to the partnership initiated by the Ministry of Defense and the Air Force several decades ago. As a result of the above, our country now has its own strategic technology for its defense and sovereignty. In the decade from 2000 to 2010, the Air Force received Indra’s first ten radars, which were deployed in the EVAs, then known as the Air Command and Control System. Since then, these systems have continued to evolve and improve to become one of the most advanced tools on the market.

Indra’s continuous development of cutting-edge technologies that makes the Lanza 3D one of the most advanced radars on the market is related to its position as an international leader in the defense industry. Indra develops critical projects for the national defense of the countries for which it works, participates in major European and NATO programs and offers significant export capacity. Indra is the Spanish national industrial coordinator of the European NGWS/FCAS Future Air Combat System development program, for which it’s the international leader of the sensor pillar and the domestic leader of three other pillars.

The most powerful radars in the world

Indra is one of the world-leading radar manufacturers. The protection of the European airspace, the survival of the Eurofighter and the ships of several navies and even the protection of satellites in orbit depend on the Spanish company’s mastery of this technology.

With more than forty years’ experience in the development of these systems, Indra can boast that it’s NATO’s preferred supplier when it comes to acquiring mobile air defence radars. The company has won all the tenders to acquire this type of system launched by the Alliance in the last fifteen years.

In San Fernando de Henares Indra has one of the largest radar factories in Europe, covering more than 7,000 square meters and with a staff of 200 specialized professionals.

The company’s engineers are also behind the design of CAPTOR, the radar that gives the Eurofighter its superiority and allows it to ‘see without being seen’. They are also currently working on its development towards an even more advanced electronic scanning configuration.

It has also developed radars that protect the frigates, ships and submarines of several navies around the world. In the civilian field, it supplies systems to navigation service providers across the planet, thus enhancing air traffic safety.

Finally, in recent years the company has developed the S3T radar, a space surveillance radar which has been installed at the Morón Air Base in Seville. This system protects the International Space Station, its satellites, spacecraft and the probes that are launched into space to combat the risk of an impact with any of the debris orbiting out of control around the Earth. With a range of more than 2,000 kilometers, it is one of the most powerful in Europe and in the world.

About Indra

Indra (www.indracompany.com) is one of the leading global technology and consulting companies and the technological partner for core business operations of its customers worldwide. It’s a world leader in providing proprietary solutions in specific segments in Transport and Defense markets and a leading firm in Digital Transformation Consultancy and Information Technologies in Spain and Latin America through its affiliate Minsait. Its business model is based on a comprehensive range of proprietary products, with a high-value focus and with a high innovation component. In the 2020 financial year Indra achieved revenue totaling €3,043 billion, nearly 48,000 employees, a local presence in 46 countries and business operations in over 140 countries.

U.S. LawShield® Provides Legal Advocacy for Coloradans

Posted on Thursday, 9 September, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

U.S. LAWSHIELD® PROVIDES LEGAL ADVOCACY FOR COLORADANS

Colorado Lost or Stolen Firearms Law

Houston, Texas – September 8, 2021 – U.S. LawShield®, industry leader and America’s largest provider of Legal Defense for Self-Defense coverage, offers protection, legal advocacy, and education for members in Colorado as Senate Bill 21-078, went into effect yesterday. The new law requires gun owners to report lost or stolen firearms within five days of becoming aware the firearm was missing or face a penalty.

“Criminals steal guns from law-abiding gun owners every day, and we know those guns are often used to commit crimes,” said P.J. Hermosa, CEO of U.S. LawShield. “As the new legislation, known as the Isabella Joy Thallas Act, becomes law this week, it puts Coloradans at risk of becoming criminals themselves if they fail to report a theft or loss of a firearm to law enforcement within the set time. U.S. LawShield supports Colorado members by providing education on safe firearms storage and the added protection of our comprehensive Gunowner Identity Theft program.”

U.S. LawShield Colorado

The Gunowner Identity Theft program protects firearm owners from the potential legal fallout of stolen or lost guns. “When folks experience the loss or theft of their firearms, they need an advocate in their corner,” said Hermosa. “Our proactive approach invites folks to learn best practices for safe firearms storage directly from our Independent Program Attorneys practicing in the State of Colorado. People learn about the options they can utilize today that may prevent a potential lost or stolen gun from coming back to haunt them in the future,” Hermosa said. “Then, members can rest assured that should their gun be lost or stolen and later used in a crime, that an Independent Program Attorney will defend them in a criminal or civil action.”

U.S. LawShield Education in Colorado

Led by a local U.S. LawShield Independent Program Attorney, these sessions educate attendees on the ins and outs of SB21-078 and how it affects their rights and freedoms. “Plus, discover how to protect yourself from the nightmare of a lost or stolen gun with extended coverage options from U.S. LawShield membership,” said Hermosa. Dedicated question-and-answer sessions with the Independent Program Attorneys will follow every informational segment to ensure attendees get the answers they need from a reliable legal source.

  • Independent Program Attorney Observations and Recommendations

A duty of $25 is imposed on any firearm owner who reasonably believes their firearm has been lost or stolen and fails to report to law enforcement within five days of the discovery. “It’s important to know that the five-day time limit begins when the owner believes his or her gun was lost or stolen,” according to U.S. LawShield Independent Program Attorney Drew Eddy. “That may or may not be the same date as the actual loss or theft.”

If a gun owner does not inform law enforcement about their firearm being lost or stolen within five days of learning it is missing, that person would be guilty of a petty offense. If the person failed to report a firearm loss or theft more than once, the offense becomes an unclassified misdemeanor and may include a fine of up to $500.

The responding law enforcement agency is required to include in their report an accurate and detailed description of the firearm, including (if known) the manufacturer, model, serial number, caliber, and any other identification number or distinguishing mark on the firearm. “As a result, it is now more crucial than ever for firearm owners to preserve identifying information about their firearm in a place separate from where they store the firearm itself. For example, keep the details of each firearm you own in your smartphone, on your computer, or someplace you can locate it easily,” Eddy added.

The new law provides that a person who is not the owner of the lost or stolen firearm but is a member of the owner’s family, or resides with the owner, may, but is not required, to report the loss or theft. For further details, visit U.S. LawShield at uslawshield.com/colorados-lost-or-stolen-firearms-act/.

Upon receiving a lost or stolen firearm report, law enforcement enters the descriptive information into the Colorado Bureau of Investigation Crime Information Center database. The person who reported the lost or stolen firearm will then be immune from criminal prosecution for failing to report a lost or stolen firearm as such.

About Gunowner Identity Theft

Gunowner Identity Theft is an add-on to the popular Legal Defense for Self-Defense program and costs an additional $83.40 annually or $6.95 monthly.

“When a firearm is stolen or lost, it can be a very unsettling experience,” said Hermosa. Filing a report to document that the firearm is no longer in the owner’s possession is now required by law. “Don’t deal with the fallout on your own. Get the help you need from U.S. LawShield’s Gunowner Identity Theft coverage, and if your gun or your identity are ever stolen, you won’t be risking your right to carry,” he stated.

Hermosa suggests, “If your gun isn’t locked up or secured, it should be within your control—typically holstered and on your person. Always use proper safety measures to store your guns, and be sure to follow your local laws. If you’re unfamiliar with local laws, find out. Claiming ignorance of the law is not a valid legal defense, and many areas of the country have specific nuances to the laws you’ll learn only by doing your own research.”

FN HERSTAL PRESENTS ITS FN® AIRBORNE EXTENDED DIGITAL SUITE AT DSEI 2021

Posted on Wednesday, 8 September, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

FN HERSTAL PRESENTS ITS FN® AIRBORNE EXTENDED DIGITAL SUITE AT DSEI 2021

FN Herstal, the world’s leading designer and manufacturer of small caliber weapons and integrated weapon systems, will showcase its new FN® Airborne Extended Digital Suite at the DSEI international trade show, London, from 14 to 17 September 2021. This suite further enhances combat capabilities of rotary- and fixed-wing airborne platforms by integrating high-performance equipment such as laser guided and/or unguided rockets from Thales, digital machine gun pods from FN Herstal and EO/IR systems from Safran.

FN HERSTAL: WEAPON SYSTEMS INTEGRATOR

In 2018, FN Herstal introduced its FN® Airborne Digital Suite comprising: the digital FN® D-HUD Head-Up Display, the digital FN® D-PC Pod Controller and the self-contained fixed forward-firing digital FN® D-Pod system.

Today, the Belgium-based company has pushed ahead the development of the Digital Suite that now allows the integration of FN Herstal and Third-Parties equipment onto rotary- and fixed-wing airborne platforms: the FN® Airborne Extended Digital Suite.

Based on the initial infrastructure, the FN® Airborne Extended Digital Suite allows airborne platforms to widen the choice of integrated airborne fixed forward-firing weapon solutions with unprecedented firing capabilities.

Besides the .50 cal machine gun in the FN® D-Pod, lightweight rocket launchers available in 7, 12 or 19 tubes allow a mix of 70mm laser guided and/or unguided rockets (such as FZ231 from Thales Belgium) delivering metric accuracy at extended range (exceeding 7km on static targets) to defeat soft and light armored targets.

The FN® Airborne Extended Digital Suite also accepts EO/IR equipment such as the ultra-long range electrooptical system Euroflir 410™ from Safran incorporating up to 10 sensors.

The FN® Airborne Extended Digital Suite allows the integration of multi-functional displays such as the MDU-268V2 display from Scioteq used to select the armaments and display the digital video from the EO/IR.

The FN® Airborne Extended Digital Suite allows high-value equipment from several different suppliers to be fully integrated. This gives the customer a very wide range of capabilities to choose from, and ensures that they will operate reliably together. FN Herstal, as a weapon systems integrator, once again, has put its expertise and innovation to work to ensure the highest level of operational capability and top quality service for military forces around the world.

Discover the FN® Airborne Extended Digital Suite by visiting FN Herstal’s booth from 14 to 17 September 2021 at DSEI international trade show (Belgian Pavilion, Booth H4 105).

CZ Expands Striker Pistol Line with New P-10 F Competition-Ready

Posted on Wednesday, 8 September, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

Kansas City, KS (September 7, 2021) – The new P-10 F Competition-Ready offers all of the popular striker-fired pistol line’s features in an enhanced, competition-ready package.

While many of CZ’s tactical handguns were born of competition guns, the new CZ P-10 F Competition-Ready pistol followed the opposite trajectory. The CZ P-10 C, released in 2017, was the gunmaker’s first striker-fired pistol. It was designed as a compact polymer-framed gun for self-defense and military use and was followed by the subcompact P-10 S and the full-size P-10 F.

The new P-10 F Competition-Ready has a barrel and slide that are a half-inch longer than the full-size model, providing a longer sight radius for the included fiber optic front sight and fixed serrated rear sight, resulting in increased accuracy. Additionally, like other P-10 models, the slide is milled to accept mounting plates for the most popular micro red-dot optics on the market—a must for any competition gun.

The pistol is outfitted with an Apex Tactical extended magazine catch, Apex Tactical extended slide stop, HB Industries trigger and Apex Tactical back-slide cover for increased performance. The half-inch longer barrel also has improved ramp geometry and a match 9mm chamber; both features were designed to improve the reliability and accuracy of the P-10F Competition-Ready. Since every competition gun needs a little flash, gold accents on the barrel slide cover and on the trigger and Henning Group magazine bases make this handgun stand out in the P-10 line and on the firing line.

Like the original, the new P-10 has a polymer frame with three interchangeable backstraps and ergonomics similar to the hammer-fired CZ 75, and a cold hammer-forged 5-inch barrel with a black nitride finish for unparalleled accuracy and durability.

The new P-10 F Competition-Ready ships with standard 19-round magazines, and a 10-round version is available for purchase in restricted states. The pistol carries an MSRP of $999. 

CZ P-10 F Competition-Ready Specs:

  • · SKU: 95180, 05180
  • · Caliber: 9mm
  • · Magazine Capacity: 19-round, 10-round
  • · Frame: Polymer
  • · Trigger Mechanism: Striker fired
  • · Sights: Serrated rear with fiber-optic front, Optics-Ready
  • · Barrel: Cold hammer forged
  • · Barrel Length: 5”
  • · Height: 5.34”
  • · Width: 1.25”
  • · Weight: 30.1 oz.
  • · Overall Length: 8.5”
  • · Safety: Trigger safety
  • · MSRP: $999

Since 1997, CZ-USA has given American shooters and hunters the best firearms the Czech Republic has to offer. In 2019, we completed yet another milestone by producing CZ firearms here in the United States at CZ-USA’s Kansas City, Kansas, facility. With our ever-increasing production capabilities stateside, CZ-USA will continue to improve, innovate, and add to the CZ-USA line-up of high-quality, affordable handguns, rifles, shotguns, and suppressors, plus custom-quality handguns from Dan Wesson.

Escort Revolutionizes Shotgun Operation System

Posted on Wednesday, 8 September, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

Escort Revolutionizes Shotgun Operation System

Escort Shotguns has taken the best cycling features and made them their own.

Bentonville, AR (September 7, 2021) – Escort’s Dynamax Semi-Auto Shotgun is a marvel of modern engineering. Designed to be the perfect combination of speed and comfort, the Dynamax is loaded with features that maximize both performance and value.

The Dynamax is outfitted with Escort’s ultramodern, patented Hybrid Cycling System (HCS). It combines the best features from each of the two traditional cycling operating systems, gas and kinetic. The Dynamax will cycle light loads like a traditional gas system but uses much less gas. As a result, recoil is reduced, and the cycle rate is faster and more efficient. With less felt recoil, a shooter acquires targets faster, making follow up shots more effective. Using less gas to cycle the gun also means the Dynamax does not have to be cleaned as frequently. The HCS is easy to break down, making maintenance easier than ever.

The entire barrel/receiver module is oxidation-proof for ultimate weather resistance. The precision-tooled barrel is made from Ni-Cr-Mo steel, and is hard chrome lined. The bolt of the Dynamax is also fabricated from Ni-Cr-Mo steel and is hard chrome plated for long life, reduced friction, and maximum resistance against corrosion. This unrivaled process makes for maximum durability and provides the utmost resistance against rust and corrosion. In addition, all Escort barrels are rigorously proof tested to ensure both strength and longevity.

The Dynamax stock is an excellent example of form meeting function. Its DaSoft finish provides scuff and UV protection while improving durability and handling feel. The DynaPad recoil pad’s advanced elastic material and V-shaped ventilations provide superior recoil absorption to maximize shooting comfort. The Dynamax is also equipped with an integrated DynaComb cheek piece that increases comfort and reduces felt recoil. All of these features make the Dynamax a dream to shoot, with even the stoutest of magnum loads.

The unique two-piece modular design makes the Dynamax one of the world’s fastest and easiest shotguns to assemble and disassemble. The two-piece modular design is comprised of the stock / trigger group module and the barrel / receiver module. This intuitive design allows the shotgun to be fully disassembled and reassembled in just seconds with no tools. Simply loosen the magazine cap a few turns, and the two modules can be separated.

  • · Capable of firing both 3″ and 2 ¾” shells

Posted on Wednesday, 8 September, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

Hatsan USA Multi-Caliber PCP Rifle: The Hydra

Bentonville, AR (September 7, 2021) – Yet another innovation from the Hatsan factory is the Hydra QE. It features their patented Versi-Cal Technology interchangeable caliber system that allows one to trade calibers with a single thumbscrew. The VCT system couples a caliber-specific receiver and barrel into a single interchangeable module that enables the scope to remain mounted and zeroed in with each caliber used. A knurled screw located at the rear of the receiver locks the upper module onto the lower receiver, allowing caliber changes in just a few seconds. The Hydra QE utilizes Hatsan’s S/Roto-Index magazine system – a caliber specific self-indexing rotary magazine made from a lightweight-yet-durable synthetic polymer. Each module features Hatsan’s QuietEnergy shrouded barrel that reduces downrange noise by up to 50%.

Fine Turkish walnut stock is laser engraved with ample texturing on critical grip surfaces that enhance the feel and control of the rifle. A Monte Carlo style cheek rest rises to just the right height for use with scopes. The rubber butt pad is both elevation and fit angle adjustable for a custom fit for each shooter. A fixed 165cc air cylinder fills to 2900 PSI, and it can provide up to 35 powerful shots. Weighing in at just 6.8 lb, this modular platform airgun will be easy to carry and shoot. The Hatsan Hydra is available in .177, .22, or .25 caliber – with additional barrel/receiver modules available separately.

Trailblazer Firearms Expands Offering with Launch of the Pack9™

The design and production of the new Pack9™ 9mm rifle features industry-leading innovation in a portable rifle.

Asheville, N.C. (September 2021) – Trailblazer Firearms, a US-manufacturer of innovative firearms, including the ground-breaking, folding, single-shot discreet carry .22 LifeCard®, is proud to announce the newest product to their portfolio.

A collapsible stock gives the Pack9 a full length of pull when the rifle is unfolded with the stock fully extended.  Weighing approximately 5 lbs., the Pack9 is 5.9” tall and as thin as many modern handguns, with a width of only 1.15”. The aluminum upper features an integral MILSpec Picatinny rail that is optics ready. A second magazine stores securely in the glass-filled nylon stock. The 16” button-rifled, threaded steel barrel with a 1/10-inch twist comes standard.

“In 2010, I came up with the crazy idea to fit a pistol in a candy tin, and that same innovative spirit that brought you the LifeCard now brings you the Pack9,” said Aaron Voigt, president and founder of Trailblazer Firearms. “We believe the years of work poured into the Pack9 have resulted in a 9mm rifle at the intersection of design, innovation, performance, and survival.”

The new Trailblazer Firearms Pack9 rifle is projected to be available through wholesale distributors starting in Q1 of 2022.

TRUE Knives SmartKnife+ Puts Multi-Use in a Small and ‘Smart’ Package

Posted on Wednesday, 8 September, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

TRUE Knives SmartKnife+ Puts Multi-Use in a Small and ‘Smart’ Package

Fort Worth, Texas (September 7, 2021) – A stand-alone knife is always better than a multi-tool. What about a stand-alone knife that has had some additions? When the primary purpose of a tool is for cutting, and it retains that foundation, adding some extras can carry a user far beyond standard capabilities. It may not entirely be a multi-tool, but it definitely comes in handy.

TRUE Knives releases their SmartKnife+. It’s a small pocket knife that has been augmented to add some additional uses. Whether a user actually employs these additions, it doesn’t take away from the original function of being a knife. This knife houses a bottle opener, a .25” bit driver with a Phillips bit included in the magnetic bit storage, three flat head screwdrivers, 6mm-14mm wrenches, wire strippers, a pry bar, a 2” inch ruler, and a 5cm ruler. All of this is housed in the high-grade stainless-steel frame. This has a true multi-tool capability.

The 2.375” partially-serrated blade is 420 stainless steel with a black oxide coating, more than enough for daily tasks. This steel material is easy to sharpen and will offer some serious rust prevention. When folded, the flipper acts as a flathead screwdriver or small prying tool, while the opposite is a bottle opener. On the butt of the knife is a small pry bar and two additional flat head screwdrivers. Just above the pry bar is the .25” bit storage. The .25” bit driver is accessible at the top of the handle when the knife is closed. In the middle of the handle are a series of metric wrenches that can cover most tasks, and, on the sides, a 2” ruler, a 5cm ruler, and a file are featured.

This knife is, at its core, a knife with extra features. TRUE Knives has devoted itself to keeping the main use unadulterated, effectively retaining the full usability of the knife with extra features. This multi-use knife measures 4.375” long, 0.5” wide, and 1.625” tall. Throw it in your pocket and use the tip down pocket clip for easy access. Anyone can near guarantee that is one right tool for the job.

Rafael to showcase its AI-enhanced NGCV-S at DSEI 2021

The recently unveiled SEA BREAKER maritime system also to be displayed for the first time at any global defense expo

From September 14- 17, 2021, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems will be participating in the DSEI Exhibition in London.

For over 70 years, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems has been a global pioneer in the field of defense research and development. Known for its wide array of groundbreaking, combat proven technologies, Rafael has transformed the approach to the modern battlefield. With dozens of multi-purpose, multi-platform solutions for air, land, sea, cyber or space applications, Rafael solutions are currently deployed by dozens of militaries and security forces around the world.

During DSEI, Rafael will showcase several of its world class ground, aerial, and naval solutions including:

Next Generation Combat Vehicle Suite (NGCV-S): NGCV-S transforms any combat vehicle into a connected, well protected, optionally manned, lethal defense system. An array of sensors and cameras provide full situational awareness, automatic target recognition allow for threat detection and identification, and a complete video management system allows crew members to remain fully protection inside a closed-hatch cabin. DSEI marks the first showcase of this suite with its enhanced artificial intelligence architecture.

SEA BREAKER: Unveiled in June 2021, Rafael’s SEA BREAKER is a 5th generation long-range autonomous precision guided missile system enabling significant attack performance against a variety of high-value maritime and land targets. By employing Rafael’s legacy of high-end precision guided munitions, SEA BREAKER serves as a pinpoint, surgical force multiplier both on land and at sea. DSEI is the first time the system is being displayed at a global defense exhibition or outside Israel.

DRONE DOME: an end-to-end, combat proven counter-Unmanned Aerial System (C-UAS) providing all-weather, 360-degree rapid defense against hostile drones. DRONE DOME detects even small targets at distances over 3.5 km, intercepts and neutralizes with soft and hard kill measures, while inflicting minimal damage to the surrounding environment yet maximum safety to friendly aircraft.

SPIKE Missile Family: This family of 5th generation, multi-purpose, EO-guided missile systems providing pinpoint accuracy on land, at sea, and in the air. It can upgrade helicopters into powerful force multipliers, enabling ultra-long standoff ranges and enhanced lethality in a lightweight package and extended mission endurance.

TROPHY APS: As the world’s only operational, combat-proven active protection system for armored fighting vehicles, TROPHY APS detects, classifies, and engages incoming threats and delivers unmatched survivability and maneuverability for all vehicle classes.

BNET SDR: an advanced, tactical Broadband IP Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) Software Defined Radio (SDR) providing reliable high-speed, low-delay connectivity for broadband data, voice and video on-the-move for ground and airborne platforms, HQs, and dismounted soldiers. The modular, multi-band, multi-channel, net-centric system enables unprecedented data rates and user numbers, enabling all land, sea, and air units to participate in a single, seamless, scalable network. 

FIRE WEAVER: a networked system connecting all battlefield elements in real time, instantly selecting the most relevant shooter for every acquired target. Simultaneously handling multiple targets using AI and data fusion, it enables warfighters to receive and share battlefield data via augmented reality icons on their weapon sights, creating a common situational awareness picture for all participants.

CP Cases Supplies Protective Bags, Cases and Racks to Military Customers

Posted on Tuesday, 7 September, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

IMG_4610v1x1200

For 50 years CP Cases have met the varied needs of broadcast professionals with superior quality rugged textiles, protective cases, 19” racks and camera rain covers – from uninterrupted coverage of live events, through electronic news gatherers to outside broadcast and individual camera users, our products have supported many customers and applications.

The common denominator is the protection of equipment so filming or broadcasting continues unhindered – therefore, equipment needs to be safely stored, transported and ready to operate on demand. Solutions provided very much depends on the what, where, when, how, weight, ingress etc. and with so many variables to consider it’s reassuring to work with an organisation that has a pedigree of design and engineering, and the range of alternative products to provide objective recommendations.

Take for example Electronic News Gatherers. This is where you need to be somewhere quick, on the ground to broadcast the latest developments of a historic event or occurrence. You need to grab your electronic and Sat Com equipment and move. You don’t need to encounter flight weight and size restrictions and that’s where our super lightweight SatRack comes into play – strong with shock-resistant mounts, SatRack gives you the protection and mobility you need to make the news.

Conforming to IATA standards for checked baggage, SatRack’s thermos-formed honeycomb polypropylene (HPP) body shell has a high strength-to-weight ratio and is resistant to crushing. The forming process does not crimp the HPP but instead gives the angled edges longitudinal strength and rigidity with a stacking capacity up to 100kg. (Measuring the world’s solar radiation in the Mojave Desert, California using SatRack – the Institute for Energy and Transport (IET) for Renewable Energy was able to transport the equipment as checked baggage and get to their destination quickly and without compromise).

When it comes to protective camera cases there are several options available depending on style and personal requirements or preferences. Our popular aluminium range is a traditional favourite of the broadcast industry, AluCurve is excellent for owners looking for high protection and style.

Made from 2mm rigidised aluminium AluCurve is constructed without an edge corner weld to prevent seam splitting. AluCurve is the ideal balance between style and protection the tough pre-pressed corners add extra seam strength and exceptional resistance to drop damage.

Every aspect of the AluCurve case has been given very careful consideration. recessed catches & handles indents for stacking and radius edges are to name but a few.

You can personalise or brand your AluCurve case with colour coded ‘smarties’ making identification simple. The smarties fit in the pressed corners and allow you to colour code equipment types or spot your case in a crowd. Alternatively, Amazon Cases are a perfect camera case foil – made from tough polyethylene and rotationally moulded to give thicker edges and drop protection they achieve MIL-STD -810F and is the first choice of the military and security forces.

It’s ideal for making tough waterproof products and provides exceptional strength to weight ratios perfect when protecting and transporting valuable equipment.

A complete range of standard sizes is available to accommodate a wide variety of equipment and where weight becomes an issue, wheels can be added. AluCurve and Amazon Cases perfectly compliment foam inserts for custom CNC routed cushioning, indeed the vital component of protective packaging is the foam that surrounds and supports the case contents. The selection of the appropriate foam types and densities is critical in ensuring the safety of a cases’ contents in some situations our cases protect livelihoods.

(Precision engineered foam means your equipment will be stored and transported safely so that it’s operational on demand. There are choices in colour, multiple laminations and foam materials, including those with anti-static, conductive and self-extinguishing properties). Take for example Steadicam Owner Steve Mitchell, he’s filmed around the world at the Olympics and International Football tournaments and needed to keep his kit safe. He says, “I chose CP Cases as I work on a regular basis with Outside Broadcast and Equipment hire companies. CP Cases have an excellent reputation within the industry and I see them at first hand and have always been impressed with their high standards.

The whole process of design, manufacture and delivery was A1 from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble and the level of customer service was excellent. I must admit to being a bit OCD when it comes to attention to detail and CP Cases delivered my foam insert which exceeded my expectations.” The full story of Steve’s experience can be found here. If lightweight and bespoke are your needs then Rugged Textiles provide an excellent alternative – made from tough Cordura, nylon and canvas fabrics, they can be padded or have specialist designed foam for tailored cushioning. Finishing can include wheels, telescopic handles, slings, clips and closures. They are extremely versatile. And because of the bespoke design and manufacturing process, Rugged Textiles can be produced for almost any product and application such as; backpacks, camera & monitor bags, production organisers and tripod bags, the list goes on.

Colouring and labelling are also possible so that bags can be branded or personalised – pockets and pouches add to the flexibility of the product. Our new range of Camera Rain Covers has been designed for the very latest generation of 4K OB cameras and lens. The range brings together advances in textile manufacturing technology with designs that provide cameramen free and ergonomic access to controls and connections.

These camera covers provide uncompromising levels of weather protection.

CP Cases has been a strategic partner to the Broadcast sector for over 50 years and has a client list that boasts many of the leading providers as well as independent cameramen. They trust and depend on CP Cases’ products to safeguard vital and expensive equipment so that they can provide uninterrupted coverage when needed.

Posted on Friday, 3 September, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

the NEW fn 303® tactical LESS LETHAL LAUNCHER
THE INDUSTRY-STANDARD SEES MAJOR UPGRADES TO CUSTOMIZE FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS

(McLean, VA – September 2, 2021) After setting the global standard in less lethal technology with the original FN 303 system, FN America, LLC, the world leader in developing law enforcement technology and training, is pleased to announce the release of the FN 303® Tactical Less Lethal Launcher. FN answered requests from law enforcement officers and agencies to make key improvements to ergonomics and adaptability while extending service life.

Image

“For nearly twenty years, FN has been in front of the ever-changing landscape of less lethal product development with the FN 303 Less Lethal Launcher,” said Charles “Bucky” Mills, Sr. Director, Law Enforcement and Federal Sales for FN America, LLC. “From the original FN 303, to recent upgrade with the FN 303 Mk2 and now with the FN 303 Tactical released today, the constant evolution of our less lethal product designs ensures users have the most versatile and innovative solutions to meet the dynamic needs of federal, state and local agencies.”

Image

With the new, modular chassis system in the FN 303 Tactical, operators and armorers can quickly customize the buttstock, grip and sighting systems. The included FN SCAR buttstock is adjustable for length of pull, cheek rise and foldability, enhancing the ergonomics and sight alignment for Patrol and Civil Disturbance Unit Officers. Optional stocks like the Drop-Down Folding Visor Helmet Stock can be changed out easily for officers wearing full riot gear. A telescopic PDW Stock can also be added for compact transport and close-quarters applications. A standard Mil-Spec A2-style pistol grip is included with the FN 303 Tactical Less Lethal Launcher but is fully interchangeable with aftermarket A2-style options. Fully adjustable polymer sights are mounted to a continuous Picatinny rail with 60 MOA of compensation to ease zeroing. The MIL-STD 1913 top rail accepts red dot sights and other sights and lights.

Upgrades to the air operating system improve handling of the FN 303 Tactical and cuts department maintenance in half. The new, shorter air tank and compact 7.6-inch barrel transfers the weight balance further back between the hands, allowing officers faster handling, sighting and less fatigue.

Built from lightweight, rugged polymer and driven by the new, compact, compressed air tank, the FN 303 Tactical upgrades deliver fin-stabilized projectiles with speed and accuracy. An optimized operating system doubles the service life of the FN 303 Tactical. Agencies can fire 5,000 projectiles before first routine maintenance is required. The fin-stabilized, .68-caliber FN 303 projectiles deliver optimum accuracy with maximum effectiveness and safety. Officers can quickly change projectiles from inert, marking impact, or irritant projectiles. The clear rear magazine cover allows officers to see the projectile type and remaining count in the 15-round magazine.
