INDRA STRENGTHENS ITS ARMS SYSTEM TO COUNTER THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRONES
· The company announces its strategy for the development of the company’s anti-drone system, one of the most advanced and effective on the market
· Indra will be one of the few companies in the world that will be able to go toe-to-toe with this technology
· Indra’s system will integrate with airports’ conventional air traffic management (ATM) and unmanned (UTM) systems and also with air defense military systems
· Airports, critical infrastructures, official buildings and public events will require this technology
Madrid, July 15, 2019.- Indra has revealed the strategy that will protect critical infrastructures, airports, official buildings and public events from the ever-increasing threat that the next generation of drones will bring.
The popularity and, accessibility of these aircraft continues to grow. The systems will alos have increasingly advanced range, navigation and loading capabilities.
To counter them “the rapid and constant development of anti-drone systems is necessary, a pace that only few companies in the world like Indra will be able to match”, the company explained last week in the specialized event Countering Drones in London, attended by leading European technology, regulatory bodies and end users.
Indra leads this market with the ARMS system, a mature technology that it has already supplied for military use, making Indra one of the leading companies in this field.
Incidents such as those experienced at the Gatwick and Heathrow airports have highlighted the losses in the millions that can be incurred by the mere presence of such aircraft, either by pilot error or with hostile or illicit intent.
For Indra, the strategy to follow to defend any space must be based on three basic principles: adaptation to the specific needs of the environment being protected; integration and combined use of different sensors and countermeasures; and redundant use of sensors in terms of both number and location.
This will be the way to deal with increasingly intelligent and autonomous drones, which can swarm and make coordinated attacks.
To counteract them, there must be surveillance systems capable of detecting and identifying small drones. These systems must cope with different strategies of deception, concealment or even jamming that specialized attackers can develop.
The anti-drone systems must identify their type fast, even the drone model, and classify it as a friendly or enemy model.
They will incorporate highly targeted and effective soft countermeasures, something especially important for their use at airports to avoid interfering with radar and electronic systems, including their own aircraft.
The collaboration of governments, security forces and operators, regulators, system manufacturers and researchers will be essential.
The regulatory framework must clarify who can use an anti-drone system, under what conditions and to what extent. The procedures to be followed in each scenario must be agreed upon depending on the type of threat.
The company paid special attention in its analysis to the case of airports, in which the anti-drone system will have to be integrated with air traffic management (ATM) and unmanned aircraft management (UTM) systems to discriminate the authorized ones from those which may constitute a real threat.
The countermeasures that are used in this environment must be especially precise so as not to affect security or interrupt the service. In the military environment, the same applies to its integrated use with air defense systems.
Indra is one of the few companies in the world that masters all the technologies involved in the development of anti-drone systems. It is one of the leading manufacturers of radar and air defense systems in the world, it also leads the development of electronic defense systems, sensors of all kinds, communications and it develops its own drones. It is also one of the main suppliers of ATM systems, with projects delivered in 160 countries and which has the Indra Air Drone solution for UTM management.

Shell Shock Technologies Signs Don Aman as Newest Sponsored Shooter
Shell Shock Technologies will be supplying Aman with its NAS3 cases for his 2019 competitive season.
Westport, Conn. (July 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 it has signed Don Aman as its newest sponsored shooter. Shell Shock Technologies will be supplying Aman with its NAS3 cases during his 2019 USPSA competitive season. He will be shooting his CZ CZECHMATE running 9mm at 170 power factor.
“Shell Shock Technologies’ NAS3 9mm cases are by far the best all-around 9mm cases I have ever seen or shot. This technology will revolutionize the reloading industry and I am so proud to be a part of the Shell Shock Technologies’ team. The old brass case technology has officially been put on notice!” Aman commented.
Aman has been involved in the shooting sports for over 20 years as a competitive shooter, reloader, Las Vegas survivor and a staunch pro-gun advocate. He started casting his own bullets in 2016 and quickly realized it was becoming a lost art. He began to read anything he could get his hands on regarding the art of casting lead and now shares this information with his subscribers on the Bullets for Freedom YouTube and UGETube Channel. During 2019, he will be traveling throughout the Northwest competing in many Level 1, 2 and 3 matches as part of the USPSA competitive season.
Aman can be seen competing next at the 2019 Northwest Challenge, to be held at the Paul Bunyan Rifle and Sportsman’s Club in Puyallup, Washington, July 12 – 14, 2019.
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).

Sailing takes me away…
I hope you all had a productive and stress free week, but in case you did not, chill out with me and let’s have a shoot the shit.
For readers not familiar with a shoot the shit, it’s a social interaction among coworkers, friends or family where participants don’t need to know anything about the subject being discussed, make any unsupported statement, use uncensored profanity, insult anyone they wish or change the subject altogether. A shoot the shit does not supplement anything; instead, it replaces fingering your smart device, social media and a trip to your therapist, who’s only reason for studying psychology was to understand himself or herself. So, let’s get started.
You’re all undoubtedly aware of the Climate Change outcry by individuals who wouldn’t know a carbon atom from a popsicle. These zealots, who offer no solutions, are calling for the end to fossil fuels, cow flatulence, etc. will soon see wind powered cargo ships. I kid you not, check it out!
This is the Neoliner, a 136 meter wind powered freighter. The ship was designed by MAURIC, a French naval architecture and marine engineering firm. They expect the ship to go into service in 2022 and have been signed transport agreements with RENAULT, MANITOU and BENETEAU. So, that new RENAULT you’ve been wanting my someday make its way to our shores via the Neoliner.
Now, I don’t want to sound like a total jackass but Blackbeard the pirate was a punk compared to my sailing skills. Step 1, I admit to not knowing Neoliner’s complete design, and I also assume it has a diesel power plant somewhere below decks . But, readers, sailboats can’t sail into the wind; doing so creates a condition called being in irons and as the name implies you don’t go anywhere. Secondly, sail boats heel in all points of sail, except when wind is blowing directly behind your vessel; this point of sail called running. The extent to which the vessel heels is a function of sail trim (the shape of the sail and angle of the sail to the relative wind) and the amount of sail you have up.
At sea, storms come up fast and I’ve personally experience going from a 20 mph breeze to 60 mph and rolling seas that were 15-30 feet high – in a matter of minutes. Preferably and prior to that happening, you must reduce the amount of sail as soon as possible, a procedure called reefing. If the winds are high enough, they may prevent your sail reefing mechanism from operating and you run the risk of being demasted.
Furthermore, in high seas, you must keep your bow pointed to the incoming seas, which usually requires deploying something called a sea anchor. If you fail to do that, your vessel will likely take a broadside and potentially suffer a knock down. Imagine what happens to its cargo, bummer!
So those are just a few of the concerns that I have but it should make Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez happy. Speaking of AOC…
Research institutes are still searching for AOC’s IQ.
Her latest effulgent comment was her desire to do away with the Department of Homeland Security. Folks, rest assured that Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez has no idea of the scope, depth and breath of DHS or what agencies comprise the Department.
Prior to DHS, government agencies responsible for national security did not know what the right hand and left hand were doing, there was no effective interagency communications. Since 9/11, DHS and the FBI have kept the citizens of this country safe; being from New York, you’d think she’d be a bit more astute, I guess she is too busy tweeting. But, what can you expect from an individual who announces the world will come to an end in 12 years and feels that Amazon locating its headquarters in New York City was bad for the community. Unbelievable!
Have a great weekend. Be safe, especially you guys in the New Orleans area. You can expect some heavy duty rain and stiff winds. The rest of you try to spend some quality time with your buds and family.

RAS 72 Maritime Patrol Aircraft: Second Delivery to Pakistan Navy
RAS, Rheinland Air Service, has delivered a second aircraft to the Pakistan Navy. The aircraft, known as RAS 72 – Sea Eagle, is part of a multi-year contract signed in 2015 for equipping the Pakistan Navy with a modern fleet of maritime patrol aircraft. The first aircraft of the fleet was formally handed over in June 2018 and the second aircraft has been delivered after the introduction to the general public at the Paris International Airshow in June 2019.
During the handover ceremony at RAS headquarters in Mönchengladbach, Germany, Nikolaos Mavrikis, Director Special Mission Division, stated: “The Pakistan Navy has taken delivery of its second RAS 72 MPA, becoming the newest operator of RAS` latest generation airborne platform and Aerodata’s Mission Management system for anti-submarine warfare, based on the cost efficient twin-engine turbo prop ATR 72 platform. The two RAS 72 in operation provide our customer with strategic maritime dominance and endorse the defense and maritime security domain of Pakistan. Working closely with the Pakistan Navy, and based on the feedback received from the operators as well as from the naval aviators, we can clearly claim that this program has significantly extended the organization’s capabilities, modernized their fleet and endorsed the surveillance along the country’s costal border as well as in international waters”.
The variety of state-of-the-art on-board sensors enable operators and decision makers to detect and identify sensitive targets above or below the surface of the ocean, while transmitting all the information captured on-board in real-time to the dedicated command center.
The RAS 72 multirole aircraft offers unrivalled efficiency as well as operational flexibility not only for anti-submarine warfare and maritime patrol missions, but also for search and rescue and other humanitarian operations. In addition to the MPA configuration, RAS can offer the ATR 72 with a complete range of interior configurations, from pure passenger cabin and troop transport to complex customization required for VIP guests as well as a variety of cargo options.

The New & Improved Galco VHS 3.0™ Shoulder Holster System From Galco!
Galco’s original VHS™ (Vertical Holster System) was field-proven across the globe from Afghanistan to America. Thousands were used by US military personnel fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. Countless others are in use by US and international law enforcement, being particularly popular among police helicopter pilots. The VHS also provides an alternative for those who want the concealment of Galco’s Miami Classic but prefer the traditional vertical carry style.
Now, after over a decade of experience with the VHS, Galco has improved it further. The VHS 3.0™brings a reshaping/redesign of the harness straps, replacement of harness screws with a key-hole harness fastener attachment, and the addition of an innovative new tie-down system.
A key component of the VHS 3.0 shoulder system is its spider harness. All four points of the spider harness can pivot independently and are connected by our clover-shaped, trademarked Flexalon™ swivel back plate. This, along with our patented swivel connectors, results in a perfect fit and lasting comfort for virtually all body sizes and shapes.
The wide harness straps on the VHS 3.0 have been recontoured to enhance both comfort and concealment. The VHS 3.0 also features Galco’s improved key-hole harness fastener system that replaces the earlier screw-and-post system, resulting in greater security, ease of assembly, and greatly reduced chance of fastener loss.
The VHS 3.0 also introduces a new tie-down system that is simple to use, compact and concealable, and fully ambidextrous.
The VHS 3.0 comes complete with vertical holster, harness, ammo carrier, tie-downs and a set of harness fasteners. Fully modular, optional accessories and components for the VHS 3.0 may be purchased separately.
Whether you patrol the perilous sands of the Middle East, metropolitan America on the ground or from the air, exercise your Second Amendment right to bear arms, or stalk the hunting fields of the world, the VHS 3.0 will help you and your handgun stay secure in an often-dangerous world.
Made for semiautomatic pistols, with double-action revolver fits forthcoming, the VHS 3.0 is ambidextrous and available in tan or black finish.

SIG SAUER Modular Handgun System Receives Full-Material Release from U.S. Army
NEWINGTON, N.H., (July 9, 2019) – SIG SAUER, Inc. in conjunction with Winchester Ammunition, is proud to announce the SIG SAUER Modular Handgun System (MHS) has officially received notification of Full-Material Release (FMR) from the U.S. Army Program Executive Office Soldier, Picatinny Arsenal, NJ. MHS is collectively comprised of the SIG SAUER M17 Full-Size, and M18 Compact handguns, and Winchester Ammunition M1152 Ball, M1153 Special Purpose, and M1156 Drilled Dummy Inert.
Full-Material Release is a significant milestone for the MHS program and is the official determination that the U.S. Army has rigorously tested and evaluated the M17 and M18 handguns, and associated ammunition, to determine it as safe for use when operated within its stated parameters. The official FMR notification received by SIG SAUER on June 27, 2019 states that MHS has been fully tested, meets all operational performance requirements, and is logistically supportable within the environment it is intended to operate.
Ron Cohen, President & CEO, SIG SAUER, Inc. began, “the Army’s announcement of Full Material Release is the final stamp of approval for the MHS Program, and a true testament to the successful collaboration of the U.S. Army, SIG SAUER, and Winchester Ammunition to deliver the highest quality MHS program to our soldiers in the field. The FMR notification really highlights the safety and quality of the M17 and M18 handguns, and the success of the MHS program in its entirety.”
To date, over 59,000 Modular Handguns have been delivered by SIG SAUER, and over 44,000,000 rounds of ammunition delivered by Winchester Ammunition to the Government for MHS; in the next 5-7 years an additional 350,000 handguns and 100,000,000 rounds of ammunition are scheduled for delivery.
“We are enthused by this announcement, and honored to have all the branches of the U.S. Military participating in the MHS program. These are both important and significant steps to ensuring that MHS, the M17 and M18 handguns, and Winchester Ammunition will serve the U.S. Military well into the future,” concluded Cohen.
The M17 and M18 handguns are 9mm, striker-fired handguns featuring coyote-tan PVD coated stainless steel slides with black controls and utilize both 17-round and 21-round magazines. The handguns are equipped with SIGLITE front night sights, removable night sight rear plates, and manual safeties.

The M1 Garand is an icon for the two million plus soldiers that served in WWll. Steinel Ammunition’s 30-06 M1 Garand M2 Ball ammo is designed to give your rifle back its glory days.
Twinsburg, Ohio (July 2019) – When 16 million Americans were called to serve America and over two million soldiers sent to the European or Pacific theaters during World War ll, the M1 Garand rifle was by their side. This legendary fighting platform still creates waves of nostalgia through our military veterans, military historians and firearms enthusiasts. The M1 Garand was as versatile as it was reliable, able to operate through the freezing temperatures during the Battle of the Bulge to the hot and humid Pacific Rim Islands, easy to use for a green recruit and accurate enough for a skilled sniper.
To this day, the M1 Garand continues to hold a place of honor in our collective American memories. Fans of the M1 Garand continue to participate in a number of online groups and associations from the Garand Collectors Association to the Civilian Marksmanship Programand their popular competitions including high power rifle, as-issued military rifle, vintage sniper rifle, and more.
The M1 Garand rifle was developed by John Cantius Garand while working on semi-auto rifle designs at Springfield Armory. After extensive Army testing, the Garand was adopted by the US Military. What made this the US Military’s sweetheart rifle was its simple design with a unique gas system, self-loading, accurate rapid-fire capability, and a rear peep sight that made for quick and easy acquisition of fast-moving targets. The M1 Garand was issued in the 30-06 caliber; the then military’s newest round that was a vast improvement on the former military issue 30-03. The 30-06 was a lighter weight spitzer style bullet capable of farther ranges and less felt recoil.
Steinel Ammunition’s 30-06 M1 Garand M2 Ball is a 150-grain FMJ suitable for all 30-06 chambered rifles but is especially optimized for those prized M1 Garand rifles still in operation in the field or on the range. Purchasing surplus ammunition can be risky to both the customer and the rifle and handloading special 30-06 to accommodate the age of these M1 granddaddies can take some time, tools and experience. It’s also common knowledge in the M1 Garand crowd that use of high-powered hunting loads can bend the operating rod rendering a beloved piece of history, unusable. At 2,780 FPS, Steinel’s 30-06 M1 Garand rounds ensure reliable feeding, performance, and accuracy without undue wear and tear on the family heirloom.
Steinel Ammunition’s 30-06 M1 Garand M2 Ball 150 gr FMJ ammo is loaded in new brass with a light roll crimp and comes 20 rounds in a reusable plastic case for $21.99. Order online.

INDRA WORKS TO CYBERPROTECT THE EUROPEAN DIGITAL ECONOMY WITHIN SPARTA PROJECT
· Indra will provide companies, industrial facilities and public administration with advanced situational awareness capabilities, essential to obtain a precise view of what is happening in the networks to respond to possible threats
· These solutions will be applied and tested on the Indra Horus traffic management platform, which is part of Mova Traffic, thanks to its ability to incorporate the latest digital technologies
· More than €400 billion a year and hundreds of thousands of jobs the digital economy will bring depend on the confidence in the use of networks and information systems
Madrid, July 8, 2019.- Indra is working on the T-Shark research program, which is part of the European project Sparta to strengthen the acquisition of situational cyber-awareness capabilities that will help Europe monitor, detect and quickly respond to any threat and protect the digital economy and citizens’ rights in cyberspace.
This program will allow Europe to take advantage of the €415 billion per year and the hundreds of thousands of new jobs that will be created, according to estimates by the Commission, provided that the potential of all the new digital tools is fully realized.
Acquiring situational awareness is one of the areas of cybersecurity research where Indra is directing a great effort. In the past few years, the company has achieved a position of leadership in this field in Europe.
The company is helping with research in this area via SPARTA, a project involving 44 companies and organizations from 14 Member States led by the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA), with the purpose of creating the most powerful network of cybersecurity competencies in the continent.
Funded by the EU with €16 million through the program Horizon 2020, this network is intended to combine scientific and technological excellence with expertise in social research to thoroughly redesign research, innovation and cybersecurity training from the ground up.
Indra’s mission within Sparta is to bring its experience and knowledge in the development of the most innovative cyberspace monitoring solutions and techniques to allow understanding of what is happening at every moment.
These systems will be based in the use of artificial intelligence, big data and data analytics to protect public administrations, companies and critical infrastructures. If necessary, this technology will automatically provide possible prevention and mitigation actions to the authorities that will make it possible to recover the trust in the protected environment of an Industrial facility, for instance, and will provide continuity of basic services.
The intelligence this technology will provide is essential to act in an environment as dynamic as networks and the Internet of the future. The protection of critical infrastructures such as transport, banking, or power and water supply, among others will depend on this technology.
Greater safety in transport
To guarantee proper operation and application of the cybersecurity solutions developed, they will be applied to Indra Transport products. Specifically, they will be integrated into Indra’s Horus platform for traffic and tunnels management, which is part of the Mova Traffic solutions line. This platform has already proven to be able to incorporate the latest digital technologies, such as big data, the cloud or connected vehicle systems, and the new developments will reinforce its performance and international leadership in this field.
Indra plans to apply situational awareness solutions for real environment monitoring to be able to deal with specific situations that may compromise the infrastructure and to prove the validity and importance of this technology in the field of transport and other fields as well.
It also provides a decisive capacity for the EU to compete with the most advanced economies in the world and become a key player in the global economy of the future.
Sparta is, together with Concordia, CyberSec4Europe and Echo, one of the four pilot programs that will lead to the creation of a European Center and network of Excellence in Cybersecurity.

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 world-wide. It is 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.

Tasmanian Tiger® TT Medic Assault Pack MKll S Receives SILVER Score in the 2019 NTOA Member Tested and Recommended Program with Overall Score of 4.35 out of 5
Field tested and recommended by law enforcement officers in the National Tactical Officers Association (NTOA) Member Tested and Recommended Program.
Miramar, Fla. (June 2019) – Tasmanian Tiger®, a tactical nylon line of products distributed exclusively for the US market by Proforce Equipment, Inc., is pleased to announce its TT Medic Assault Pack MKII S has received the Silver score from the National Tactical Officers Association (NTOA) Member Tested and Recommended Program, with an overall score of 4.35 out of 5 from law enforcement medical team officers.
“There is an increasing interest and need for mission specific medical bags in the law enforcement community,” Richard Lewis, President and CEO of Proforce Equipment, Inc. and exclusive US distributor of TT, said. “The TT Medic Assault Pack MKll S bag is a versatile carry bag for basic level tactical medical team members.”
An officer from Pennsylvania commented, “It will hold more than a standard IFAK but not as much as a full aid bag, so if you have any specialty ‘kits’ to carry, such as a difficult airway kit, or a small diagnostic kit for ‘sick call’ it would be a great choice.”
A member of a Wisconsin team noted, “The pack not only has comfortable, adjustable shoulder straps, it also comes with a chest and waist strap. It is very adjustable and extremely comfortable. The weight is distributed evenly and can be worn for extended periods with no soreness or shoulder fatigue.”
All testing officers agreed the pack was well-made and very durable. An officer using the pack through SWAT school and continued testing in the field found “no signs of wear” and “the pack looks brand-new.”
The TT Medic Assault Pack MKll S (medical products not included) was outfitted to each testers requirements. The Wisconsin tester found “the pack is the perfect size for the medical needs of a small group. It can carry more than enough hemorrhage control, airway management, and basic first aid equipment needed by a team medic or other small group.” The tester from Ohio outfitted the bag with multiple tourniquets, trauma bandages and gauze, chest seals, tape and eye shields. The elastic loops on the interior side walls held nasopharyngeal airways and added an accessory pouch on the exterior laser-cut MOLLE.
The tester from Pennsylvania pushed the versatility of the pack by using it as a technology bag to carry several charges, backup batteries, a “litany” of cables with room remaining for a multi-tool and other gear.
The TT Medic Assault Pack MKll S measures six liters in volume, weighs 41 ounces with a dimension of 13” x 9” x 4” and is made from CORDURA® 700 den material with YKK zippers. It is available in Black, Olive, and Coyote for $149.00.
All sales inquiries can be directed to tt@tasmaniantigerusa.com.

Streamlight’s ProTac 90 Right Angle Tactical EDC Light
Gone are the days of the old military issue MX-991/U right angle flashlight. The old D-cell clunkers with incandescent bulbs served us well, but we all have a useable lifespan and it was time for the MX-991/U to go and be replaced by the more capable and compact LED EDC lights, like Streamlight’s new ProTac®90 right angle flashlight.

Blue Force Gear MARCO Refill Kits Available
BLUE FORCE GEAR® MARCO® REFILL KIT
[POOLER, GA, June 29, 2019—] Blue Force Gear’s revolutionary Marking And Recognition Chemstick Organization dispenser – MARCO – just got better with the introduction of MARCO Refill Kits.
MARCO streamlines the pre-mission preparation of marking lights that are in use by top tier military and law enforcement units that Blue Force Gear is proud to support. Our new refill kits are being brought to market at the request of these end-users, who desire the ability to quickly top-off, or completely refill, dispensers when used in a training environment.
Each MARCO Refill Kit contains 30 individual 2-inch disposable marking sticks housed in a resealable bag and are available in red, blue, green or infrared hues. Miniature marking sticks provide the equivalent lumen output of 4-inch taped ChemLights, as seen through Night Vision Devices and are impervious to the elements; continuing to glow rain or shine, hot or cold.
About MARCO
MARCO is the simplest, most efficient means of carrying multiple marking lights, and reliably dispensing them, during complex room clearing operations. Using the MARCO dispenser and refillable packs in place of the traditional time-consuming method of prepping, taping and bundling chemlights, will save users critical time during pre-mission preparation.
While the MARCO was originally intended for use during urban tactical operations, it has proven to have crossover applications in the hunting, outdoor and off-road segments for marking trails, intersections or trailing downed game during reduced lighting conditions. It’s compactness, durability and ease of use is unrivaled in these applications.

RAFAEL’S SPICE 1000TM receives the prestigious Israel Defense Prize
SPICE 1000TM is an air-to-ground weapon system that attacks targets with pinpoint accuracy and at high attack volumes, without depending on GPS navigation in GPS-denied environments
TEL AVIV, JULY 2019 – At a festive ceremony held on Tuesday, the President of the State of Israel, Reuven Rivlin, Prime Minister and Minister of Defense Benjamin Netanyahu, and Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Aviv Kochavi, awarded the Israel Defense Prize to projects and operations that contributed to the security of Israel and to its qualitative military edge and technological superiority.
The Israel Defense Prize for 2019 was awarded to the men and women involved in the following projects: RAFAEL’s SPICE 1000TM weapon system, the campaign to expose Hezbollah tunnels in the north, the Mossad operation in an Iranian nuclear archive, and a technological development project of the Israel Security Agency (ISA).
SPICE 1000TM is part of RAFAEL’s wider air-to-surface SPICE Family (250, 1000, 2000) of stand-off, autonomous, air-to-ground weapon systems that attack targets with pinpoint accuracy and at high attack volumes, without depending on GPS navigation in GPS-denied environments. SPICE is combat-proven with the Israeli Air Force and is in operational service with a number of international users. To date, RAFAEL has received the prestigious prize 52 times, for breakthroughs such as the IRON DOMETM, DAVID’s SLINGTM, TROPHYTM, POPEYETM and many more.
President of the State of Israel, Reuven Rivlin: “The role of the defense establishment and the civilian industries that accompany it is to be the invisible defensive wall that pushes conflict behind enemy lines, and allow us citizens to continue to go about our daily lives. This is the reason we invest so heavily in creative and ground-breaking technological development. I want to thank you and your families for the exhausting and dedicated work, and for the endless effort you have invested and continue to invest.”
Israel’s Prime Minister and Minister of Defense, Benjamin Netanyahu: “We will always defend ourselves. And our true force is in the minds and hearts that are present here.

The Predator at the White House
I hope you all had a great 4th of July, I certainly did. Did you catch Trump’s “Salute to America”? Democrats and the media were in an uproar calling it a campaign event, a celebration of Donald Trump and you name it. It’s utterly amazing and the reason we have shoot the shits to kickoff the weekend.
In case you missed it, the event was very well done and certainly not a tribute to himself. Instead, the President spoke about our country’s achievements using a historical timeline presentation that included our military’s service to the country along with several of its distinguished members. Honestly folks, you have to be a complete moron to spin this into a campaign event. It’s enough to make Christ postpone the second coming until Democrats are out of office. I kid you not. Here’s another good one.
This week, Senator Kamala Harris really outdid herself when she says: “I know predators…” “…”and we have a predator living in the White House…” I’m bewildered by that statement as I’ve seen nothing that would qualify POTUS as a predator, so she must have been thinking about this…
It looks like he’s throwing out aliens adjudicated for deportation! Perhaps that’s what she had in mind when she made that comment.
Readers, you all have to make your own decisions; however, my only suggestion is that you dig a little to get at the truth, because what you’re getting from our Democrat candidates and Congress is designed to treat you like a mushroom – keep you in the dark and feed you shit.
Now, it’s time to get back to my 4th of July festivities, so have a great weekend, be safe and spend some quality time with your buds and family.
