SIG SAUER Modular Handgun System Receives Full-Material Release from U.S. Army

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.

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.

Steinel Ammunition Salutes the Rifle that Won the War, the M1 Garand 30-06

Posted on Wednesday, 10 July, 2019 by twobirdsflyingpub

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

Posted on Tuesday, 9 July, 2019 by twobirdsflyingpub

Indra cybersecurity

· 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.

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 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. 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 2018 financial year, Indra achieved revenue of €3.104 billion, with 43,000 employees, a local presence in 46 countries and business operations in over 140 countries.

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

Posted on Tuesday, 9 July, 2019 by twobirdsflyingpub

 

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

Posted on Friday, 5 July, 2019 by twobirdsflyingpub

 

20190628_110847

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

Posted on Friday, 5 July, 2019 by twobirdsflyingpub

 

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

Posted on Friday, 5 July, 2019 by twobirdsflyingpub

 

RAFAEL'S SPICE 1000

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. You, the winners of the Israel Defense Prize, have made a fundamental contribution to our defense and deterrence. You have all done an excellent job. Go forth and succeed in ensuring the eternity of our nation.”

The Predator at the White House

Posted on Friday, 5 July, 2019 by twobirdsflyingpub

Image result for 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…

White House Predator (3)

It looks like he’s throwing out aliens adjudicated for deportation! Perhaps that’s what she had in mind when she made that comment.

grid-vs-celtic-avp-aliens-vs-predator

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.

Steinel Ammunition Fourth of July Promo on 44 Magnum 320 gr. WLNGC and 44 S&W Special Self Defense Ammo

Posted on Wednesday, 3 July, 2019 by twobirdsflyingpub

Kick off your summer with Steinel Ammo’s limited-time sale on one of America’s favorite 44 rounds for hunting or self-defense.

Twinsburg, Ohio (July 2019) – Nothing is more American than the 44 magnum round for hog hunting or other hard-to-stop game, and this year, Steinel Ammunition is celebrating America’s birthday with a limited-time sale on their best-selling 44 Magnum 320 gr. hard cast WLNGC rounds. But, before Elmer Keith invented the 44 Magnum for its stopping power, there was the 44 Special and Steinel Ammunition is including their 44 S&W Special short barrel formula in 200 gr. Gold Dot hollow point bullets in their July holiday promotion for concealed carry civilian customers.

From July 4 – 7, 2019, Steinel Ammunition will be offering a 10% percent discount on all orders of their specially developed hunting 44 Magnum 320 gr. rounds. For personal protection, Steinel Ammunition is offering 15% on their 44 Special Self Defense rounds during the same 4-day holiday sale.

“America has had a love affair with the 44 Magnum round since the 1950s and became a Hollywood icon thanks to movies like Dirty Harry,” Andy Steinel, president of Steinel Ammunition, commented. “Our take on the classic 44 Magnum provides all the attributes 44 Magnum fans appreciate like superior stopping power and accuracy but less felt recoil and cleaner barrels with less lead buildup.

The 44 Magnum is a superior hunting round, powerful enough to stop a tough-skinned big animal, such as North American bears and feral hogs. Backcountry and big game hunters typically carry back up pistols and revolvers in case of a bear attack in camp or afield and the Steinel Ammo 44 Magnum 320 gr. has the penetration ability to put a stop to any bear attack. As a hunting round in itself, the Steinel Ammo 44 Magnum’s combined penetration and little to no deflection makes it an effective and humane round for bear, elk, bison and other American and African big game.

With over five million wild hogs in 35 states in the US, hog hunting has increased in popularity and precedence as the wild hog population takes its toll on farmland, forests, ranches and even invading suburban communities. Feral hogs often compete with wildlife and livestock for food and land and prey on young livestock and wildlife. Many states allow for year-round hunting in an effort to manage the wild boars (which can exceed 500 pounds) and the feral sows and their young. Whether for the ultimate in hunting large, thick-skinned game, Steinel Ammo’s 44 Magnum 320 gr. hard cast WLNGC rounds offer consistent, reliable, and highly accurate performance.

America’s love affair with the snub-nosed revolver has gained traction as more states legalize conceal carry. Law enforcement and military officers have long used “snubbies” as effective back up weapons and continue to use them today. With Elmer Keith’s development of the Magnum 44, the S&W Special began to fall out of favor. But with the rise of CCW licenses across the country, the old stand-by has been reinvigorated and finding new fans. Firearms manufacturers are increasing their offerings in this defensive round to include Charter Arms, Taurus, Ruger and Colt. Customers find the 44 Special similar to the popular 45 ACP, and as opposed to the 44 Magnum, the 44 Special offers less recoil and less flash.

Steinel Ammunition’s limited time offer on the 44 Magnum and 44 Special runs July 4 – 7, 2019. Order http://www.steinelammo.com.

Morphix Technologies® to Exhibit at Warrior® Expo East

Posted on Wednesday, 3 July, 2019 by twobirdsflyingpub

Morphix Technologies® will be displaying its TraceX® Explosive Detection Kit and Chameleon® Chemical Detection Armband at Booth #1407 in Virginia Beach, Virginia July 10 – 11, 2019.

Morphix Warrior Expo

Virginia Beach, Va. (July 2019) – Morphix Technologies®, an innovator in the science of detection devices for dangerous chemicals, will be exhibiting at Warrior® Expo East, July 10 – 11, 2019 at the Virginia Beach Convention Center in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Morphix Technologies will be exhibiting its TraceX® Explosive Detection Kit and its Chameleon® Chemical Detection Armband at Booth #1407.

“We exhibited earlier this year at Warrior Expo West in San Diego and are happy to be back at Warrior Expo East, held right here in Virginia Beach. These are great events that bring together end users, program managers and procurement specialists in one place. We are looking forward to exhibiting what the TraceX and Chameleon detection devices can do to help our warfighters and First Responders complete their missions,” commented Kimberly Pricenski, vice president of sales and marketing for Morphix Technologies.

The TraceX Explosive Detection Kit is an affordable and easy-to-use product that aids in the detection of major explosive material threats and their precursors in a single test without exposing the kit to contamination or the user to dangerous chemicals. It was developed by Morphix Technologies under contract from the U.S. Department of Defense and meets their demanding requirements. It is small enough to fit in a cargo pocket, lightweight and rugged. Each kit comes in its own disposable protective plastic case, so the handler will be ready to use it when needed and is shelf stable for 24 months. With a single swab, the TraceX Explosive Detection Kit detects all the major families of explosive materials and their precursors.

The Chameleon Chemical Detection Armband is an easy-to-use, inexpensive, wearable, reusable armband that can hold up to 10 cassettes, each of which detects a particular toxic chemical and changes color upon detection. One color indicates the absence of toxic gas. When two colors appear in the window, the user knows it is time to take action. Designed for use in the Arctic, tropical and desert conditions, the Chameleon Chemical Detection Armband can even be immersed in water. Morphix Technologies has prioritized its product development based on the advice of the U.S. military and law enforcement agencies, so the Chameleon Chemical Detection Armband cassettes are available for many of the high-risk Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs) identified by the U.S. government. It has also been approved by the U.S. SAFETY Act of the Department of Homeland Security as an anti-terrorist technology.

Warrior Expo East is designed specifically for government and defense organizations to receive a crash course in cutting-edge gear and the most cost-effective support solutions from hundreds of hand-selected exhibitors over two days. It is far more than a simple trade show – it’s the defense industry’s one-stop-shop for industry networking, customized training, and product demonstrations. The Expo attracts 300+ industry suppliers and more than 3,000 vetted attendees, including active duty military, federal, state and local government agencies, law enforcement, first responders, qualified defense or government contractors and exhibiting partner suppliers or manufacturers.

If you’d like to receive more information about our products, please contact Morphix Technologies toll-free in the US at 800-808-2234 or +1-757-431-2260 internationally. You can also email sales@morphtec.com.

Bushnell CORE and CORE DS Take Trail Cameras to the Peak of Performance

Posted on Wednesday, 3 July, 2019 by twobirdsflyingpub

Bushnell’s CORE DS Technology Is Optimized for Day AND Night
OVERLAND PARK, Kansas – July 2, 2019 – Bushnell, the industry leader in trail cameras, offers even greater performance with the CORE and CORE DS trail camera lines.
Now shipping across the Country, every CORE Trail Camera is built with a suite of features inside that reveal more of the tough world outside. Crafted with more speed and range to capture more useful images, and industry-leading battery life, CORE trail cameras give users more options for preset or custom settings to maximize each camera for any situation. All of that comes standard with the reliability of Bushnell.
Taking it to the next level, the new CORE DS offers advanced technology for hunters and game managers who want the best image quality in every condition. Most trail cameras use only one image sensor to capture images 24 hours a day. Users must settle for daytime images that are less sharp and rich, or nighttime images that lack consistent illumination and range. CORE Dual Sensor (DS) Technology gives users two image sensors — one optimized for sharp and rich images during the day and another optimized for images with consistent and further illumination at night.
“Good trail cams take great pictures during the day,” explained Bushnell Product Manager Steve Smith. “Better trail cams take great pictures at night. Bushnell’s CORE Cam DS with Dual Sensor technology does both. With two sensors – one optimized for sharper day pics, one for more detail and contrast at night – the CORE DS leads the pack night and day. Now, finding the best trail camera is as simple as: Good. Better. Bushnell.”
CORE Trail Cameras offer 24 megapixel performance and come in Low Glow and No Glow models. The CORE Low Glow offers 100-foot night range, while the stealthy CORE No Glow produces an 80-foot range with nearly invisible black LEDs. Both cameras feature .3 second trigger speed, 1-second recovery and 1080p at 30 fps video with audio. A removable battery tray holds 6AA batteries providing up to 1-year battery life.
CORE DS models offer 30 megapixel performance and also come in Low Glow and No Glow models. Both cameras feature .2 second trigger speed, .6-second recovery and 1080p at 60 fps video with audio. An in-camera color LCD and the exclusive Dual Sensor Technology make the CORE DS Low Glow and No Glow the most technologically advanced trail cameras on the market today.

The rifled barrel is finished in black and you can vary the velocity by the number of pumps (up to 10). The 397S and 392S has the power and accuracy to take small game and pests, but you’ll find yourself picking up this rifle every time you want to plink or shoot spinners.

Posted on Tuesday, 2 July, 2019 by twobirdsflyingpub

 

 

Galco is excited to introduce the Stinger™ belt holster for the Glock 43/Streamlight® TLR6 combination!

The Stinger was designed with the KISS principle in mind. Made to carry a compact semiautomatic pistol or double-action revolver behind the strongside hip, the Stinger’s open top and forward cant allow a fast, easy drawstroke and enhances concealability. Safety, security and stealth are all addressed with a covered trigger, detailed hand molding and a tunnel-style belt loop that takes up little belt space compared to a pancake-type holster.

The Stinger is constructed of premium saddle leather and fits belts up to 1 1/2” wide.

Available for right hand draw in black finish at a retail price of $69.

Galco International, LTD is the designer and manufacturer of the Galco Gunleather brand, the premier American-made line of superb-quality holsters, belts and accessories.

Tasmanian Tiger® TT TAC Modular Pack 30 Vent Receives GOLD Score in the 2019 NTOA Member Tested and Recommended Program with Overall Score of 4.78 out of 5

Posted on Tuesday, 2 July, 2019 by twobirdsflyingpub

 

Field tested and recommended by law enforcement officers in the National Tactical Officers Association (NTOA) Member Tested and Recommended Program.

Miramar, Fla. (July 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 TAC Modular 30 Vent backpack has received the Gold Score from the National Tactical Officers Association (NTOA) Member Tested and Recommended Program, with an overall score of 4.78 out of 5 from law enforcement officers.

“I have humped a ruck for over 35 years and my testament is that this is one of the most comfortable rucks I have ever had on my back,” observed a testing officer from Michigan.

The TT TAC Modular Pack 30 Vent is built on Tasmanian Tiger’s X Vent-Zero Plus Carrying System that combines lightweight construction with superior ventilation and adjustable fitting options. Fiberglass rods are attached in an X-shape to the back of the pack and with the integrated hip belt, provide the supporting structure of the pack. Two additional fiberglass rods transfer the load to the anatomically shaped, ventilated hip belt. The open space created by the supporting structure allows for a large ventilated zone across the wearer’s back.

The testing officer from Arizona found, “the vented design and keeping it (the pack) off the back is nice, especially when living and working in a hot climate.”

The TT TAC Modular Pack 30 Vent features a discreet appearance with all the functionality of a “military-style” rucksack. The “clean” outer appearance opens to reveal its modularity capabilities, “the modularity of the pack is all built on the inside with hook-and-loop and laser cut slots where the user can attach all the MOLLE accessories they desire,” said the police officer from Arizona.

The Arizona officer added, “the main compartment is spacious and features two tracks of laser cut MOLLE hook-and-loop down the length of the back wall of the (inside of the) pack. The bottom compartment is a great size and features hook-and-loop along the back wall. The main and bottom compartments are separated by a zippered wall and could be combined if desired. The top outer pocket is a decent size and would be a good place to put smaller items that you want quick access too, but don’t necessarily need to carry on your person. The laser cut MOLLE is a really nice feature and makes it extremely easy to install MOLLE attachments and maintain a lower profile due to the sleek design while still remaining sturdy.”

The TT TAC Modular Pack 30 Vent backpack holds about 30 liters and without gear, weighs 51 ounces. Its dimensions are 20” x 11” x 7” and is made from T-Square Rip CODURA® 700 den material with YKK zippers. Available in Black, Carbon, and Olive, the TT TAC Modular Pack 30 Vent retails for $199.00.

ILLINOIS POLICE DEPARTMENT IMPLEMENTS VIRIDIAN® WEAPON-MOUNTED CAMERAS

Posted on Tuesday, 2 July, 2019 by twobirdsflyingpub

 

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – July 1, 2019 – The Salem, Illinois Police Department has deployed the FACT Duty™ Weapon-Mounted Camera (WMC™) from Viridian® Weapon Technologies to all of its sworn officers. Viridian and the police department of Salem will hold a joint press conference on Tuesday, July 2 at 10:00 am at the Salem City Hall located at 101 South Broadway Avenue, Salem IL, 62881.
The FACT Duty fits standard police duty weapons and holsters and records automatically, providing an unobstructed view from the end of an officer’s firearm. The need for this product continues to be validated in current events throughout the United States.
“We explored body cameras, but ultimately chose Weapon-Mounted Cameras,” said Police Chief Sean Reynolds. “We found out about these [FACT Duty WMCs] while researching body cams. I was intrigued and ordered one unit for our department to test.
“We used it in several low-light, no light and other scenarios and really liked the performance. The video is clear and the audio is great. I pitched the FACT Duty to the council because of the limited data storage required, lower initial costs and the fact that there won’t be an obstruction if we have an officer-involved shooting.”
Viridian created an important category for law enforcement with the introduction of the FACT camera. This advanced Weapon-Mounted Camera provides an unobstructed view of critical use-of-force events from the end of the firearm, addressing limitations officers can face with body cameras. Over 500 agencies have been in the process of testing and implementation of the Viridian WMC since it became available last year.
The highly advanced WMC employs a 1080p full-HD digital camera with a microphone and 500 lumen tactical light. Viridian’s proprietary INSTANT-ON® technology automatically activates the camera and microphone whenever the officer draws the firearm from its holster. Not only does this eliminate risk of failure to manually turn on the camera during a critical event, but it also keeps the officer from fumbling with cumbersome equipment.
“Our FACT Duty is truly standalone—and the need it fills in law enforcement is so important,” said Viridian President and CEO Brian Hedeen. “We’ve been able to get this in the hands of so many departments, and seeing the difference it makes is encouraging. The FACT Duty WMC is the only product specifically designed to capture Officer Involved Shootings (OIS).
“The technology achieves this in a manner that is not cost prohibitive, requires no manual step or extra training in the field, doesn’t add to administrative duties or processes and even provides a tactical advantage to officers. At Viridian, we pride ourselves on our independence and our innovation—and we’re happy Chief Reynolds has supported and the City of Salem has approved something so important to modern policing.”
Easy Purchase and Implementation
FACT WMCs do not require the purchase of supplemental equipment or services and are designed exclusively to answer the needs of today’s officers. The WMC generates just a small fraction of the data to manage compared to other law enforcement recording options because it only records when the officer’s weapon is drawn.
After the purchase of the WMC, there are no maintenance fees, monthly charges or other significant expenses required. This results in significantly lower comparative data management costs than other evidentiary camera systems. The FACT Duty is a one-and-done solution for law enforcement administrators and purchasing departments.
The WMCs fit on existing standard-issue firearms and fit seamlessly in multiple duty holster platforms, making it easy for implementation by any law enforcement agency. The cameras feature a recording time of over three hours to handle virtually any scenario. They also incorporate secured data access and are easily rechargeable.
Body and dash cameras were not designed to capture officer-involved shootings. However, Viridian WMCs were designed specifically for this purpose.

Nammo Signs Historic Framework Agreement with the Norwegian Armed Forces

Posted on Monday, 1 July, 2019 by twobirdsflyingpub

Nammo today signed a four-year framework agreement with the Norwegian Defence Logistics Organization (NDLO) for ammunition deliveries to the Norwegian Armed Forces. Worth more than NOK 1.7 billion, the agreement will support Norway’s efforts to improve its levels of training and operational readiness.

“We are honored by the trust placed in us by such a demanding customer as the Norwegian Armed Forces,” said Morten Brandtzæg, President & CEO of the Nammo Group.

Norwegian Minister of Defense, Mr. Frank Bakke-Jensen, emphasized the importance of the agreement in addressing the longstanding concern regarding ammunition supply.

“It is absolutely crucial that the Armed Forces have sufficient ammunition both for day to day operations and for its readiness stores. This has been a challenge for several years, and I’m very pleased that we will now get this resolved,” said Mr. Bakke-Jensen.

Petter Jansen, CEO of the Norwegian Defence Logistics Organisation, also expressed his satisfaction with the agreement.

“Strategic partnerships with solid industrial enterprises is a cornerstone of our approach to military logistics and supplies in peace, crisis and conflict. Nammo is a business we have a long-standing cooperation with and they are a trusted partner for the Norwegian Armed Forces. Today’s framework agreement with Nammo takes us a long step forward in terms of preparedness, readiness and operational effect,” said Jansen.

The framework agreement sets the terms for a series of subsequent agreements between Nammo and the NDLO. The first of these was also signed during today’s ceremony at Oslo’s historic Akershus fortress, and it outlines the expected deliveries to the Norwegian Armed Forces over the coming four years. This not only allows Nammo to plan and deliver more efficiently, but also to secure long-term supplies of critical raw materials and components.

“This is the kind of relationship we want with all our core customers, as we believe it delivers substantial benefits to both sides, both in terms of cost during peace time and security of supply in times of crisis and war,” said Mr. Brandtzæg.

Nammo and NDLO today also signed a letter of intent to pursue a second agreement within the scope of the framework agreement, which will detail Nammo’s role in preserving Norway’s national security of supply.

“Ammunition manufacturing today is about a lot more than just brass and gunpowder. It depends on an increasingly complex supply chain with long lead times and on the availability of highly skilled people able to operate sophisticated manufacturing equipment. We are able to manage this today thanks to our broad international presence and expertise, but going forward we see long-term strategic partnerships with our customers as the best way of addressing the challenge that this growing complexity represents,” said Mr. Brandtzæg.

Nammo is an international aerospace and defense company headquartered in Norway. With 2400 staff spread across more than 30 sites and offices in 13 countries, Nammo is one of the world’s leading providers of ammunition, rocket motors and demilitarization services for both military and civilian customers.
