To enable future complex commercial drone operations, digital UAS traffic management (UTM) solutions are needed to manage a diversity of drones and operators within the same airspace. Furthermore, as there will be multiple commercial providers of UTM services, known as UAS Service Suppliers (USS), interoperability among industry players becomes equally critical.
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)’s UTM Pilot Program (UPP) was designed to address these issues through testing unmanned traffic management within real-world scenarios. On June 13–21, 2019, AirMap provided core UTM services for the FAA UPP trials organized at Virginia Tech’s Mid-Atlantic Aviation Partnership (MAAP).
For the trials, AirMap and other USS partners provided UTM services for participating drones, including flight planning and manned traffic alerts. At the same time, the USS successfully communicated with each other to share flight plans and ensure deconfliction, helping to provide a shared view of the airspace and improve overall safety and coordination.

NEWINGTON, N.H., (September 3, 2019) – SIG SAUER, Inc. is proud to announce the official award of a contract by the U.S. Army in the down-select process for the Next Generation Squad Weapons (NGSW). The award encompasses the complete SIG SAUER system consisting of 6.8mm hybrid ammunition, a lightweight machine gun, rifle, and included suppressors. SIG SAUER will provide single-source manufacturing for ammunition, weapons, and suppressors allowing for less risk and increased capability for the U.S. Army.
“The U.S. Army is leading the world in the first significant upgrade to small arms in decades to meet the growing demands of soldiers on the battlefield. We are honored to have been selected for the Next Generation Squad Weapons program bringing increased lethality to the warfighter over the legacy weapons,” began Ron Cohen, President & CEO, SIG SAUER, Inc. “At the core of our submission is our newly developed, high-pressure, 6.8mm hybrid ammunition that is utilized in both weapons, and is a significant leap forward in ammunition innovation, design, and manufacturing.”
The SIG SAUER 6.8mm hybrid ammunition is designed for increased penetration at greater distances. Cohen continued, “using patent-pending technology the SIG SAUER Ammunition division has engineered a completely new cartridge resulting in a more compact round, with increased velocity and accuracy, while delivering a substantial reduction in the weight of the ammunition.”
The primary objectives set forth by the U.S. Army for the NGSW-AR was a weapon with the firepower and range of a machine gun, coupled with the precision and ergonomics of a rifle. The SIG SAUER NGSW-AR submission is an ultra-light, medium caliber machine gun with AR ergonomics, and chambered in 6.8mm hybrid ammunition. Features include quick detach magazines, side opening feed tray, increased available 1913 rail space for night vision and enablers, folding buttstock, and suppressor.
Additionally, the Prototype Project Opportunity Notice (PPON) requirements were inclusive of an NGSW-Rifle. The SIG SAUER NGSW-Rifle submission also chambered in 6.8mm hybrid, is lightweight and features a free-floating reinforced M-LOK™ handguard, side-charging handle, fully ambidextrous controls, folding buttstock, and suppressor.
“The U.S. Army challenged the industry to bring forward significant improvements to the legacy weapons. The SIG SAUER NGSW-AR is lighter in weight, with dramatically less recoil than that currently in service, while our carbine for the NGSW-Rifle submission is built on the foundation of SIG SAUER weapons in service with the premier fighting forces across the globe. Both weapons are designed with features that will increase the capabilities of the soldier,” commented Cohen. “The final component of the SIG SAUER Next-Generation Weapons System is our suppressor, which through exhaustively researched design enhancements, reduces harmful backflow and signature.”
As outlined in the recent award issued by the U.S. Army, SIG SAUER will deliver a complete SIG SAUER system inclusive of the SIG SAUER 6.8mm hybrid ammunition, lightweight machine gun, rifle, and suppressors.
“SIG SAUER has designed the most comprehensive solution to meet the requirements of the Next Generation Squad Weapons to enhance mission effectiveness. We are looking forward to partnering with the U.S. Army throughout this process and ensuring our soldiers are equipped for the demands of the modern battlefield,” concluded Cohen.

Meprolight will display its newest products for the North American market at the second annual Tactical and Competitive Shooting Sports (TACCOM) show to be held in September in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Or Akiva, Israel (September 2019) – Meprolight®, a world leader in a variety of optic solutions from electro-optics sights, thermal sights and devices, self-illuminated sights, and innovative pistol sights, will be exhibiting at TACCOM Canada, a premier event for the tactical and competitive shooting sports community. Meprolight will share its booth with IWI, that will display its newly released Masada pistol, and other innovative firearms. TACCOM Canada will be held Sept. 6 – 8, 2019 at The International Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The largest firearms show in Canada, it features over 450 exhibitors in 100,000 sq. ft. of exhibition space and a series of Shooter Development Seminars featuring some of the top names in the competitive shooting sports, international military and security fields.
Meprolight USA will be showcasing a variety of their newest products at booth #337. Unveiled at the 2019 SHOT Show, the MEPRO FORESIGHT, the first-of-its-kind augmented weapon sight capable of projecting essential tactical data right on the transparent optical lens in real-time. Utilizing Bluetooth interface to connect with the FORESIGHT’s mobile app for Android or iPhone, the user can store up to 10 zeroing firearms profiles or user profiles, so the sight can be removed and replaced without ever having to re-zero. It also has access to a large database of reticles for tactical scenarios and to receive firmware updates and new features, as they are released to market.
The MEPRO RDS PRO V.2 electro-optical red-dot sight is the latest generation featuring an optimized combination, more brightness positions (16 brightness levels compare to four brightness levels in its predecessor), and supports both red and green aiming patterns and multiple selections of aiming patterns all through a large crystal clear, transparent display window.
The MEPRO MicroRDS, is a small, rugged, energy efficient, electro-optical red dot sight designed for handguns, shotguns, and rifles with a large display window and a clearly defined red-dot for fast target acquisition with both eyes open. The MicroRDS Kit includes a patent-pending dovetail adapter with a quick detach mechanism that allows mounting and dismounting the MicroRDS on the gun with a click of a finger. The adapter includes high-quality Meprolight Night Sights that allow accurate and fast shooting under any lighting conditions when the MicroRDS Optic is removed. Meprolight will unveil its Picatinny QD rail for the MicroRDS series at TACCOM along with, their new Optics-Ready-Guns QD rail plate for GLOCK, Smith & Wesson M&P pistols and the new IWI Masada pistol.
Besides Meprolight’s innovative optics, on display will also be their FT Bullseye for the IWI Masada pistol (and other pistol models). It is similar to an optical sight, but in a small, low profile with an aim point in the form of an illuminated dot and circle bullseye. The Fiber-optic and Tritium Bullseye allows for fast and intuitive target acquisition day or night, and doesn’t need a battery or any switches to be powered on. Also available for the Masada pistols (and other popular brands) are Meprolight’s self-illuminated HVS night sights using new day and night bright dot technology that allows users to reference three solid dots, identical in appearance and location under all light conditions.

Steinel Ammunition is betting on the enigmatic round with four variants, all premium performers without the big-ticket price tag.
Twinsburg, Ohio (August 2019) – Steinel Ammunition, having distinguished themselves as the champions of forgotten military rounds and persuasive big bore calibers, put their confidence in a handgun round that although had a brief period of stardom some years back, is back with a vengeance: the 10mm round.
Developed in the early 1980s by the legendary Col. Jeff Cooper, along with Thomas Dornaus and Michael Dixon of Dornaus & Dixon Enterprises, Inc., the 10mm cartridge was what a 9mm cartridge wanted to be when it grew up. The threesome sought a more powerful round than the popular 9mm Parabellum, somewhere between a .45 and a .357 magnum, while maintaining a size similarity to the 9mm for greater magazine capacity. The result was a new, more powerful cartridge and a new heavy-duty combat pistol, the Bren Ten semi-auto pistol. The Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) made the round their official round in 1986, but the move was premature. The FBI’s S&W Model 1076 large framed pistols proved problematic and the FBI dropped the 10mm transitioning to another weapon and the soon to be newly minted .40 S&W round.
As a result, the 10mm never really got off the ground. It was expensive, had limited firearm platforms available and more recoil than most consumers wanted, but the idea of a more powerful round than the 9mm never really disappeared. It just went underground. Although many will argue the 10mm is too powerful for defensive use, there is a rising acceptance of the round for just that. Handgun hunters, for the most part, kept the round alive, as it was a proven performer in the field capable of dropping mid-sized whitetail and feral hogs.
As of recently, there were a few choices for 10mm pistols on the market but that has changed in the last few years, with all the big-name players now in the market. And many ammunition manufacturers are also rolling out 20-count boxes of their version of the 10mm round. Yet, ask the 10mm diehards and many of them find the off the shelf rounds lack the power and velocity which makes them less effective for ethical hunting practices. That’s where Steinel Ammunition comes in.
When Andy Steinel, president of Steinel Ammunition, and his team decide to develop a new load, resurrect a forgotten round or revamp an existing load, they do so because they’ve done their homework. Steinel utilizes his social media platforms and gun show experiences to ascertain what calibers people are talking about and asking for. The 10mm was one such caliber, but Steinel wanted to develop effective loads that gave the concealed carry person all the confidence they needed and the handgun hunter real put-down power without the high price.
Steinel Ammunition has four offerings in 10mm. For individuals that want a more powerful self-defense round, the 10mm Auto 140 gr. Solid Copper Hollow Point (SCHP) lead-free round meets the FBI standard and rocks out at 1,500 FPS. At only $22.99 a box of 20-count, you get a premium round at a price below the competition.
Putting rounds down range is great for muscle memory practice but hard on the wallet. With Steinel Ammunitions’ 10mm Auto 180 FMJ you get 50 rounds per box of highly accurate and clean shooting 10mm for any 10mm firearm. And 50-rounds of this 10mm will only set you back $27.99 per box.
Really looking for value in a 10mm round, the 10mm Auto 180 gr. JHP Golden Saber is a sure bet at only $19.99 a box of 20-count. This 10mm round has a 1,125 FPS with a 4.5” barrel.
Handgun hunters will appreciate Steinel Ammunitions’ 10mm Auto 200 gr. Hard cast round constructed of hard cast BNH22 and a truncated cone (TC). This round excels in penetration and accuracy with a velocity of 1,200 FPS in a 5” barrel. Hard to beat at $19.99 a box of 20-count.
“You have choices with our 10mm line,” Steinel summed up. “We have a projectile for hunters, conceal carry and self-defense, and target shooters, all developed in-house to give the user superior results and accuracy. One recent customer experience says it all, “I actually reloaded for 10mm. I initially bought Steinel 10mm FMJ for the new Starline brass…and to get a benchmark for my [own] loads. Now, I don’t bother. Mine were a little more accurate, but it’s no longer worth [my time]’.’”

Here at TXC we’re constantly trying to offer the best products and options we can. When we partnered with @abawidamann of @bawidamannblades and @ottegear to offer the Aloha (Poppies of War) pattern, we had no idea what to expect as far as demand and growth. By only offering the pattern for 3 weeks when the other partnered companies offered their Aloha pattern products much longer, we didn’t account for the new growth of people who heard about us from the pattern. This was our mistake, and it was not fair to everyone. To make things right, we will be opening orders of the Aloha pattern holsters again for 48 hours on Saturday (Aug 31st) and Sunday (Sept 1st) ONLY. We believe this is fair for everyone, giving an equal opportunity for one last exchange, while maintaining the integrity of the limited and exclusive run.

Introducing the Springfield Armory XD-E Langdon Tactical Edition.
Like the Langdon Tactical Beretta 92s and PX4s, the Langdon Tactical Edition XD-E features greatly enhanced trigger feel and performance without sacrificing safety or reliability. Improvements made by Langdon Tactical on the Springfield Armory XD-E have also further enhanced Springfield Armory’s Low Effort Slide by reducing effort needed to rack the slide and cock the hammer even further.

Less felt recoil, increased energy, better stopping power and American-made.
USA (August 2019) – Pilgrim Ammunition, a new disrupter in the ammunition market, announce the launch of premium self-defense ammunition for the fall of 2019. Made in America using the finest components, the initial caliber lineup includes 9mm, 380 Auto, 40 S&W and 45 ACP.
Unlike the current market selection of self-defense ammunition, the Pilgrim line was developed to first and foremost deliver maximum stopping power without over penetration. Each caliber delivers significantly more kinetic energy than comparable rounds. Threat elimination occurs due to starburst pattern fragmentation, thus reducing over penetration with 100 percent energy transfer.
Additionally, the rounds offer unprecedented velocity and drastically reduced felt recoil. Pilgrim Ammunition’s line of premium self-defense rounds are lead free and California compliant. Their website includes a state-of-the-art shopping cart system for easy and fast purchasing experiences.

T.G.I.F! Hope you got through your week happy, healthy and a little wiser. I was able to get some range time in and I’m currently putting the wraps on a Ruger RPR Gen 3 review. What a rifle folks! I won’t get into the details other than to say get one.
It’s also time for our weekly shoot the shit. For new readers, a shoot the shit is a social interaction during which the participants don’t need to know anything about the topic being discussed, they are free to make any unsupported comment, use uncensored profanity or change the subject. Shoot the shits promote people to people interaction and are far more effective than paying a jackass, who studied psychology so they could understand themselves, over $150 per hour for what a shoot the shit will accomplish for free. I recommend that you have weekly shoot the shits with your coworkers and staff, friends and family. You’ll see positive results in short order. So, let’s shoot the shit.
Our industry is without question one of the most innovative on the planet and contributing $50 – $52 billion annually to the country’s GDP. Covering its news and events is a full time endeavor and one producing some truly outstanding media, but we are not without our own prima donnas. I, recently read a short article by such an individual, who allegedly is an authority on ammunition and shooting in general. I will not link the article because I don’t want to malign the publication or its author.
The thrust of the article was to get the reader to accept that muzzle velocity has nothing to do with barrel length and went as far as to suggest that if you think a shorter barrels produces lower muzzle velocities you’re delusional. He makes his point by talking about “loads, chambers, and barrels”; all of which was designed to impress the reader, who is undoubtedly sitting there saying “no shit Sherlock”, with his enormous knowledge. Indeed, all of these things influence muzzle velocity but it does nothing to establish that shorter barrels produce lower muzzle velocities. He also pulls a number of 25 fps, out of thin air, as the “proper” muzzle velocity lost for every inch of barrel reduction.
The way you answer the barrel length/muzzle velocity relationship question is with a structured approach along these lines; start with a 24” barrel, using the same ammunition from the same lot, chronograph ten rounds, then cut the barrel back one inch repeating that process for however many cycles are needed, but making sure you have enough barrel length left to stabilize the projectile. The procedure should reveal that muzzle velocity decreases per inch reduction of barrel length; however, the amount of the incremental decrease will vary barrel to barrel. You don’t need to be a luminary, it’s simply physics and not magic. I’ve personally observed changes in muzzle velocity from 30 fps to 50 fps reductions per inch.
For example, Federal Ammunition uses a 24” test barrel to measure the velocity of their .308 Winchester 168 grain GMM. The company quotes muzzle velocity at 2650 f.p.s. (feet per second). I shot 10 rounds using that ammunition out of a Ruger RPR .308 Win 20” barrel with the following results.
| Synced on: | 2019-08-28 13:37:35 | |||
| Series | 2019-08-28_13_37_35 | Shots: | 10 | |
| Notes | ||||
| Min | 2475 | Max | 2550 | |
| Avg. | 2514 | S-D | 25.6 | |
| ES | 75 | |||
| Shot | Speed | |||
| 1 | 2543 | ft/s | ||
| 2 | 2517 | ft/s | ||
| 3 | 2475 | ft/s | ||
| 4 | 2530 | ft/s | ||
| 5 | 2541 | ft/s | ||
| 6 | 2550 | ft/s | ||
| 7 | 2494 | ft/s | ||
| 8 | 2499 | ft/s | ||
| 9 | 2490 | ft/s | ||
| 10 | 2505 | ft/s | ||
Using my average velocity of 2514 fps, it’s clearly lower than Federal’s test barrel at 2650 fps. My 20” barrel gave up 136 fps. My 20” barrel is 4 inches shorter than Federal’s 24” barrel, dividing 136 / 4 translates to a 34 fps loss per inch.
So, not everything that you read online is accurate or even factual but a few of these publications are more interested in likes and retweets than the quality of what is put out.
I can’t stop laughing…
Last but least…
Folks there is no end to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s display of ignorance or falsehoods. In her latest display of ignorance, she publishes an Instagram video in which she claims that young people are more “informed” and “willing to go to the streets” in protest than earlier generations.
Here you are AOC…
Have a great weekend folks be safe and spend some quality time with your buds and family it’s time well spent.
Vlieger also finished second in the Open Division with 1452.5935 match points and a time of 175.81.
Westport, Conn. (August 2019) – Shell Shock Technologies, LLC., an early-stage technology and manufacturing company focused on developing innovative case technologies for the ammunition industry, is pleased to announce its sponsored shooter, John Vlieger, placed second overall and second in the Open Division at the 2019 EGW Area 8 Championship, held Aug. 22 – 25, 2019, at the Ontelaunee Rod and Gun Club in New Tripoli, Pennsylvania. Vlieger competed against 521 competitors to finish with 1452.5935 match points and a time of 175.81. Watch the competition video here:https://www.facebook.com/JohnVliegerShooting/videos/382159292450261/.
“Another regional championship with zero failures to hold me back or keep me from competing at my peak. While a second-place finish is never easy to accept, the capability of my equipment shows through with how close the finish was. I have the utmost confidence in my ammunition loaded with Shell Shock Technologies NAS3 cases and plan to use them for all of my future competitions,” commented Vlieger.
Vlieger has fired over 55,000 rounds of ammunition with Shell Shock Technologies’ NAS3cases since becoming sponsored in 2017 and plans to continue using it. He can be seen competing next at the 2019 Cheely Custom Gunworks USPSA Area 5 Championship, to be held Sept. 4 – 8, 2019, at the Briar Rabbit Shooting Sports Club located in Zanesville, Ohio.
About Shell Shock Technologies NAS3 Cases:
NAS3 9mm cases are 50 percent lighter than brass cases, offer greater lubricity and will not abrade, clog, foul, wear-out or damage breach and ejector mechanisms. The cases offer greater corrosion resistance, tensile strength (2x stronger) and elasticity than brass. NAS3cases will not split, chip, crack or grow (stretch) and are fully reloadable (using S3 Reload dies) and can be reloaded many more times than brass cases. NAS3 cases have been tested successfully by customers to pressures over 70k psi. NAS3 cases can be picked up with a magnet. The head can be colored for branding purposes and easy load identification.
NAS3 is “Best in Class” for maintaining consistent velocity between rounds. In an independent test performed by H.P. White Laboratory (a major munitions testing facility), rounds fired using NAS3 cases achieved a velocity standard deviation of 0.093 FPS (124-grain FMJ bullet, 4.2 grains Titegroup powder, 10 rounds, extreme variation 3fps).

Washington Utah, August 28, 2019
The Army has been soliciting design and manufacturing firms for a next-generation weapon platform. This NGSW program is expected to produce a replacement for the M16 battle-rifle and SAW machine gun. Along with the request for this all-new weapon, this project demands a new cartridge to be developed alongside and incorporated into these new battle rifles.
The initial call-out for the program seeks to dramatically increase the terminal power and effective distance of the 5.56 NATO and even the 7.62 NATO. The performance of the new cartridge will rival the exterior and terminal ballistics of some current commercial magnum hunting cartridges. It seems a worthwhile endeavor to outfit each soldier with an 8lb rifle that can hit a 1 MOA hardened target, and penetrate that target up to and exceeding 1000 yards. If that’s not enough to impress, this new weapon will fulfill these requirements without compromising the control and handling characteristics currently accepted in the M16 and SAW light machine gun.
MARS, INC of Montana teamed up with Cobalt Kinetics of Utah early in 2019 to realize this seemingly-impossible task. The brain-trust of MARS approach the modern semi-auto rifle from a fresh perspective while Cobalt Kinetics’ skill and expertise at precision manufacturing made the idea a reality. The resulting weapon presents as an extra-large framed AR-patterned rifle- with a huge magazine well to accommodate the new cartridge. Inside the handguard one can identify a large recoil spring wrapped around the barrel- an essential part of any long-recoil operating system. For those unfamiliar with this type of mechanism, it’s not unlike your grandfather’s Browning Auto-5 shotgun. But make no mistake, this is not your grandfather’s battle rifle. The bolt and barrel, while locked, are allowed to travel freely within the action under the recoil impulse generated by the 6.8mm short magnum cartridge (the guns fire 140gr .270 caliber bullets at 3200FPS). This operating system causes a great deal of recoil energy to be spent and dissipated before the total recoiling mass delivers a blow to the shooter’s shoulder. Similar systems have been employed over the past few decades in some soviet rifle and machine-gun designs. This operation has been labeled as “shifted pulse recoil”. The recoil impulse is effectively distributed over time, while its speed is reduced by a spring and buffer system before the stroke is complete. The result is a slower and softer impulse to the shooter- more to the point- This rifle is as controllable and comfortable to shoot as the old low-impulse 5.56 platform, while doubling the effective distance and energy.
Besides reduced recoil, there are many other advantages of long-recoil semi-auto operation. No gas escapes the barrel into the action- this rifle, with full-auto capability, runs as clean as any bolt action. When operating with a suppressor, the long-recoil system actually runs more reliably and with less recoil that unsuppressed. Of course, the added mass slows down the barrel/bolt assembly but that extra mass and resultant momentum to the recoiling assembly help the system power through dirt and particulate that can foul other semi-auto mechanisms. And the addition of suppressor does not contribute to increases fouling in the action as the system operates so slowly (relative to DI or piston) the propellant gasses and powder-charge fallout have fully evacuated by the time the bolt unlocks and opens to eject and reload the weapon.
MARS and Cobalt have developed 2 versions of the “MARS” rifle. A 13” barreled lightweight carbine and an 18” barreled light machine gun have been supplied to the ARMY for testing and evaluation. Both are fed from proprietary 20 round box or 70 round drum magazines. Both are capable of semi and full-auto fire. The MARS rifles have been designed to incorporate the newest “smart” battlefield tech to keep the soldier connected and adaptable as battlefield tactics become more advanced. These technologies include a central power source to supply all peripheral accessories while tracking and displaying their performance and status. Light, illumination, direction of fire, total rounds fired between service intervals, ammunition supply in the magazine, and operating temperature can be tracked by a central command module on the gun. This information can be communicated to remote command to support the soldier of tomorrow.
Michael Merino, President and CEO of MARS Inc. adds: “I can’t think of a better collaboration in this industry. Our MARS rifle design, coupled with the innovative approach to rifle manufacturing of the Cobalt Kinetics team, has been incredible. We believe that we have a rifle design that meets the requirements of the Army’s ambitious NGSW program. We are excited to be part of evolution of military effectiveness. We also plan to release a commercially available version of this rifle, in the first few months of 2020.”

Our Defense Division is exhibiting our Composite Rubber Track (CRT) system in the Canadian Pavilion – booth N4-140 at DSEI 2019 from September 10th to 13th.
We are showcasing our CRT technology on a Warrior vehicle kindly supplied by Rheinmetall BAE Systems Land (RBSL). The warrior family of vehicles is currently in service with the British Army and is one of its most capable vehicles. The vehicle displayed is a one-off prototype, developed by RBSL, as a Mortar or Armoured Battlegroup Support Vehicle. The Warrior Automotive Improvement Programme (WAIP) for the MOD and Private Venture work with Soucy Defense to fit Continuous Rubber Track (CRT), are just some of the initiatives on offer to enhance the performance and reduce through life costs of Warrior. Soucy’s CRT system consists of a continuously cased rubber band structure, reinforced with a range of composite materials and steel cord. It weighs up to 50% lighter than Steel track and offers a range of other benefits.
SOUCY Defense Division requested NPrime to conduct new vibrational testing to capture data on the harshness of vibration experienced within specific locations where munitions are stored, as well as the impact of vibration on on-board electronics. These test results, presented along side our trials data from the Armoured Trials and Development Unit (ATDU), shows how fitting Soucy’s CRT to an Armoured Vehicle can provide a 40% reduction in mean vibration, less Ordinance Munition and Explosive (OME) propellent compaction which can increase ammunition life by up to 70%, as well as benefiting the platform electronics, the User and impacting on the total cost of ownership. Soucy are the only operationally proven rubber track provider for Armoured Fighting Vehicles.
Our defense Business Development (BD) teams will be on hand throughout DSEI at the Canadian Pavilion – Booth N4-140 to answer your questions about our CRT technology.
