Melbourne, FL – Sol Invictus Arms with Tactical Superiority, Inc. is proud to announce the release of the AA-12 shotgun. This venerable, proven shotgun is a new addition to the Sol Invictus Arms product offering. With several improvements, changes to manufacturing processes and enhanced variants catering to the civilian market, this shotgun, once only available to law enforcement and military is now being re-released to the general public.

Now Boje Cornils is working with Tactical Superiority, Inc. and Sol Invictus Arms, to bring this amazing firearm to the masses. Not only will the production models include new and improved versions of the already known AA-12 in a full auto configuration for military and law enforcement, it will now include a never before seen, 100% legal semi-automatic version for the civilian market. The newly available AA-12 represents significant improvement over past production techniques, including improved design elements, and  is now available at a significantly more consumer friendly price point.

“We’re proud to be a part of the legacy of the infamous AA-12 Shotgun and happy to be able to bring a civilian version to market.” Said Michael Conn, President and CEO of Tactical Superiority, Inc. when asked for comment.

The first release of the AA-12 will be a pre-sale offering, available on Armslist.com initially and followed on Gunbroker.com a few weeks later as a limited edition called the “Boje Signature” model. Each edition will be limited to 1000 shotguns. Expected delivery will be in December of 2018.

SafeShoot Introduces GreenShield, a Breakthrough Solution for the Prevention of Friendly Fire Incidents

SafeShoot-GreenShield

31 May, 2018 – SafeShoot – a company dedicated to finding a solution to friendly fire incidents in hunting, law enforcement, homeland security, and military scenarios – introduces Green Shield, a unique solution for the prevention of friendly fire incidents.

According to Gabi Davidson, VP Marketing of SafeShoot, “Modern warfare, much of which takes place in densely populated areas, has led to an increase in friendly fire incidents among many armies around the world. To meet this challenge, we have developed GreenShield, which allows an additional layer of safety, operational continuity and improved coordination among friendly forces. The solution also enables a short sensor-to-shooter cycle, an easier and faster decision-making process, closer support fire, and better situational awareness.”

SafeShoot offers two types of devices: the Shooter Device and the Defender Device.

The Shooter Device is applicable for the shooting elements within the forces including: heavy direct fire weapons (tanks or RWS), UAVs, attack helicopters, light infantry weapons, and relevant HLS weapons (pistols, etc.).

The Defender Device is designed for non-shooting elements such as support units, search dogs, instructors, medical aid and evacuation personnel.

The system detects the spatial position and barrel direction of all SafeShoot devices (Shooter and/or Defender). It immediately and automatically alerts the shooter when there is a high risk of executing friendly fire – even when there is no line-of-sight and under varying weather conditions, day or night. The system enables a dynamic wireless network and exchange of online data between the devices in the arena.

Mr. Davidson added, “We believe that, with the help of our products, which enable the identification of own forces in the field, we can significantly reduce the number of casualties caused by friendly fire.”

About SafeShoot

SafeShoot was founded by a group of seasoned entrepreneurs who had been exposed to tragic incidents of friendly fire during their military careers in the Israel Defense Forces. By combining their expertise in technological development and management, along with a thorough background in the military and a genuine love for outdoor activities, SafeShoot’s founding team has developed a unique and comprehensive solution to friendly fire incidents.

Tactical Medicine: Blast Injuries June 13, 2018 Gettysburg, PA

Explosions have the potential to create a multitude of injuries. It’s critical for first responders to understand how blasts affect the body in order to treat patients effectively on the scene. These events can pose multiple patient injuries and involve multiple agencies, making them particularly challenging for EMS. This course is approved for 8 hrs. of continuing education.

Topics covered in this 8-hour course include:

  • Injury Care
  • Prehospital Care
  • Lung Injury
  • Radiological Diagnosis
  • Crush Injury and Crush Syndrome
  • Post Exposure Prophylaxis for Bloodborne Pathogens
  • Abdominal Injuries
  • Extremity, Eye and Ear Injuries
  • Thermal Injuries
  • Pediatrics and Older Adults
  • And more

 

“The nature of attacks on US soil is evolving, with homemade explosives being used more frequently. Prehospital care training alone no longer adequately prepares first responders to properly treat this new age of blast injuries. Our course is taught by instructors with first hand experience treating these types of wounds.”

Jared Ross, owner of Rockwell Tactical & lead instructor of the Tripwire Tactical Medicine Blast Injuries Course

Morphix Technologies® Exhibiting at 2018 International Hazardous Materials Response Teams Conference

Morphix Technologies® will be displaying its TraceX® Explosive Detection Kit and Chameleon® Chemical Detection Armband at Booth #504 in Baltimore, Maryland, June 7 – 10, 2018.

Virginia Beach, Va. (May 2018) – Morphix Technologies®, an innovator in the science of detection devices for dangerous chemicals, will be exhibiting at the 2018 International Hazardous Materials (HazMat) Response Teams Conference, June 7 – 10, 2018 at the Hilton in Baltimore, Maryland. Morphix Technologies will be exhibiting itsTraceX® Explosive Detection Kit and its Chameleon® Chemical Detection Armband at Booth #504.

“The Hazmat Response Teams Conference is the premier conference in the United States for hazardous materials responders and we look forward to exhibiting what the TraceX and Chameleon detection devices can do to aid hazmat response teams in today’s challenging environment,” commented Kimberly Pricenski, vice president of sales and marketing for Morphix Technologies.

TraceX Explosive Detection Kit

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.

Chameleon Chemical Detection Armband

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.

The HazMat Response Teams Conference is a four-day event offering hands-on training across a range of essential topics, including biothreat response and sample collection, incident management best practices, chemical and physical properties of hazardous materials and recognizing and responding to commercial explosive incidents. The HazMat Response Teams Conference is powered by the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC), which represents the leadership of over 1.2 million firefighters and emergency responders. IAFC members are the world’s leading experts in firefighting, emergency medical services, terrorism response, hazardous material spills, natural disasters, search and rescue and public safety legislation. The IAFC’s Hazardous Materials Committee provides technical expertise related to hazardous material emergency response and promotes nationwide efforts to provide support to the hazardous materials emergency response community through education and public policy.

If you’d like to receive more information on the Chameleon or TraceX, please contact Morphix Technologies toll-free at 800-808-2234 or locally at 757-431-2260. You can also email sales@morphtec.com.

WHAT YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT THE LATEST HELEMT DESIGNS FOR YOUR SOLDIER

Guys, the week just flew by with that Memorial Day Holiday, and I hope you all had a safe, relaxing and uneventful Memorial Day. We got rained out but it was great just the same.

So, it’s Friday and time for our weekly shoot the shit. This is a social event where anyone is free to participate. What’s great about a shoot the shit is that you don’t need to know anything about the topic. You can make any unsupported statements, use profanity, insult anyone you wish or change the subject altogether.

The other benefit of our shoot the shit is that it’s a non-billable  event. Unlike a mental health professional, who you would need to pay $150+ per hour, our shoot the shits cost you nothing. Why would you pay some jackass who studied behavioral sciences so they could understand themselves that kind of money?

This week’s topic on prophylactics should prove to be interesting and informative ; a topic that gets glanced over all too often when it deserves considerable attention.

Younger readers won’t remember the Dixie Lilly and La Vita brands of condoms. These products had more rubber than Humvee tires thus eliminating sensation for both parties or perhaps multiple parties. Then came the lambskins and a variety of products that were “ribbed for her pleasure.” This ribbing business had to be a derivative from the Benny Boys in the Philippines who  pierced their apparatus and installed gold chains to excite their male partners.

Readers, those products will be discussed by the cultural anthropologists of future generations; however, those days are gone and today we see Japan and China going toe-to-toe competing for the thinnest walled prophylactics on the market.

  • Japan’s Sagami Originals tout a wall thickness of 0.01mm and a 5 pack will set you back only $16.99

Sagami Original 001 Ultra Thin 0.01mm Condom 5 pcs Japan

Sagami Originals are a big deal in Melbourne Australia

 

  • Aoni’s Ultrathin 001 Condom Series. In 2013, Aoni was accredited by the Guinness World Records as the World’s “Thinnest Latex Condom.”Aoni is committed to exceeding ISO safety requirements to ensure there is no compromise between thickness and protection nor with safety and pleasure. Aoni’s product is pricier at $44 for two 12 pack.

 

 

 

In hot pursuit is China’s Guangzhou Daming United Rubber Products. Guangzhou Daming United Rubber Products Ltd (GDURP) is suing rival Japanese condom maker Okamoto for the rather dubious honor of continuing to promote its latex condoms as the world’s thinnest, even though they no longer hold the title. The company’s latex product averages a wall thickness of 0.036mm. Clearly nowhere near the Japanese offerings.

Guangzhou Daming United Rubber Products undergo extensive testing. Have you ever seen a woman installing a condom as fast as this gal. I hope this will become a Gutfeld monolog, she is impressive!
 
 
In this next video, you’ll see lab technicians performing stress testing of the product. Both hydro and pressure testing is part of the procedure.
 
imageI’ll close this shoot the shit by calling your attention to the Timberland boot on the left, it too was made in China. They were worn a total of 2 hours straight out of the shoe box. Fortunately Timberland’s outstanding customer service replaced them for me.
 
 
Have a great weekend readers, be safe and spend some quality time with your buds and family!

Arsenal SAM7SF Rifles

scope mountsarsenalinc.comarsenalinc.comarsenalinc.com

 

SAM7SF-84 Rifles

SAM7 receivers are milled from a hot-die hammer forged receiver blank  by the Arsenal Co. of Bulgaria. Other milled-receiver AKs are machined  from bar stock, but Arsenals hot-die hammer forging produces stronger  and finer-grained steel. Internal voids and cooling deformations are  eliminated by the 5-ton hammer forging process.

Each forged  receiver blank requires over 5.5 hours of milling before assembly. This  forging and milling process is complex and time-intensive, but Arsenals  meticulous attention to detail delivers a receiver of unequalled  strength, precision and durability

Ammunition Depot Introduce The Prepper and The Prepper Battle Pack

Optimized for easy identification, long storage life and ready to use today or tomorrow.

Boca Raton, Fla. (May 2018) – Ammunition Depot takes their Latin lessons seriously with their new The Prepper and The Prepper Battle Pack products. “Si vis pacem, para bellum” translates to “If you want peace, prepare for war.” Attributed to Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus and his De Re Militari published sometime in the 4th or 5th century, the statement is behind the 2nd Amendment philosophy that Ammunition Depot whole heartedly supports; that peace is possible only when the people are armed and able to defend themselves. And guns without bullets are a weak defense.

The Prepper and The Prepper Battle Packs take the hard work of assimilating and packaging ammo in two easily identifiable and accessible systems. The Prepper is today’s take on a “spam can” filled with 1,000 rounds of ammo in a heavy duty, stackable tub. The gasketed lid is air tight and waterproof with a tear strip for quick access when needed. Ammunition Depot carries The Prepper boxes in all the popular brands:

  • Blazer Brass
  • Federal (American Eagle, Gold Medal Match, Hi-Shok, Premium and Tactical)
  • Fiocchi
  • MFS
  • Perfecta
  • PMC
  • Remington
  • Speer
  • Winchester

The Prepper Battle Pack offers a huge variety of ammo choice in a MIL-Spec, 16 mil plastic sleeve with a clear front to easily identify the ammo type. The sleeve, containing 250 rounds, is air-tight and waterproof, making it a great long-term storage option, as well as an easy grab-and-go ammo pack. The Prepper Battle Packs have been oxygen purged and nitrogen filled to improve storage longevity.

“The Prepper cases and The Prepper Battle Packs are ideal for ammunition storage. All packaging is clearly identifiable, easy to access when needed or prepared properly for long-term storage needs,” Scott Blick, managing partner of Ammunition Depot, added. “Whether you are a prepper or not, The Prepper and The Prepper Battle Packs are really a very economical way to purchase and organize quantities of ammo.”

While stocking the ammo room, keep a space for The Prepper Battle Pack New Millennium Emergency Bar pack featuring 18 energy bars. These energy bars were created specifically for the prepper market. The variety of fruit flavored, vitamin enriched bars have a texture similar to a dense shortbread and were formulated to prevent thirst. They are secured in a durable, vacuum sealed sleeve and will last up to five years.

About Ammunition Depot:

Ammunition Depot was founded by freedom-loving Americans committed to American’s right and responsibility to defend themselves, their families and their country. Ammunition Depot’s goal and promise is to provide to the American public high-quality ammunition at the lowest possible price with the best customer service they have ever experienced, period.

As Ammunition Depot has grown over the years, we have been able to create numerous jobs for hard-working Americans in our home state of Florida, as well as help many charities and foundations that support our troops, law enforcement, and the shooting sports.  Our plan is to keep growing, keep creating jobs, keep giving, and keep Ammunition Depot strong so that we can deliver the same great products and same great service for decades to come. www.ammunitiondepot.com

McKinney, Texas (May 2018) Diamond Age, a materials science and engineering firm focused on the R&D of leading-edge anti-ballistic armor systems announce their new rifle resistant Bastion Helmet and the Forcefield armor.

In addition to their work with ceramic materials and armor alloys, Diamond Age is a leading producer of boron nitride nanotubes for ceramic reinforcement. Boron Nitride Nanotubes are a nanomaterial that strengthens metal, glass and ceramic composites. Diamond Age is able to offer this material in an 80 – 90% purity and in a dense form (HD-BNNT) suitable for composite production.

“Regardless of the science behind our products, all our customer base of law enforcement and military professionals really want are lightweight products that can be worn all day, in a variety of environmental conditions while offering superior ballistic protection,” Jake Ganor, CEO of Diamond Age said. “It’s our job as engineers to come up with a level of protection that goes beyond NIJ regulations. This is not the next generation of anti-ballistic armor, but the ultimate generation.”

The BASTION Helmet is the first combat helmet that can withstand direct hits from all common rifle rounds including steel core rounds, at muzzle velocities. It has been tested and withstood rounds from 7.62 x 51mm M80, 7.62 x 39mm PS ball, 5.56 x 45mm M855A1, 5.56 x 45mm M193, 5.7x28mm SS190, and various handgun and SMG threats.

It is augmented with an ultra-lightweight carbon fiber and ceramic strike-face and designed for extreme use in the field. The BASTION helmet is completely modular featuring a full 5-plate configuration which covers the entirety of the helmet shell for manning turrets, vehicular patrols and tactical raids and entries. Infantrymen can configure to a lighter set up using on the front and back tiles, while snipers may choose to wear only the front tile. The BASTION accommodates Wilcox® shrouds without sacrificing any coverage and M-Lok rails are also available. The helmet includes the industry’s most advanced padding system, from 4D Tactical, for comfort and optimal performance against high-impact rifle rounds.

Diamond Age Forcefield armor panel

The Diamond Age Forcefield armor panel offers superior protection from a variety of high-velocity SMG special threats such as 7.62 x 25 mm Tokarev (over 1700 fps), 5.7 x 29mm (over 2100 fps) and the HK 4.6 x 30mm (over 2000 fps). Further handgun special threats tested and defeated include 80-grain solid copper 9mm SCS rounds. Knives, spikes and needles have also met their match with the Forcefield. The Forcefield also exceeds the military’s requirement for military-grad frag with a V50 against the 16fr RCC tested at over 2180 ft per second.

Yet the Forcefield for all its protective qualities is as thin and light as the average soft armor panel in its class at just 6.8mm and 1.17 pounds per square foot. Designed for uncompromising protection for SWAT, military and high-risk security personnel, the Forcefield is available in BALCS-cut panels and BALCS armor carriers are also available.

Diamond Age is an Associate Member of the National Association of Police Equipment Distributors (NAPED). For more information on Diamond Age anti-ballistic armor, visit www.diamondage.org

DoubleStar will work with Breed to render his designs into affordable production knives for its Edged Weapon Division. A retired member of the 5thUnited States Army Special Forces group, Breed’s military career took him to various places around the world, including the Gulf War in the early 1990s. He is the current owner of Breed Custom Knives and a BLADE Field Editor.

“Collaborating with DoubleStar has been a wonderful opportunity. They are great people to work with and have made me a part of the DoubleStar family,” remarked Breed.

He also operates Breed Custom Knives where he designs his own custom creations.

“Kim is a legend within the custom knife community and we are very excited to have the opportunity to collaborate with him, turning his custom design into something that is accessible to a wider audience. Adding Kim to our already impressive roster of collaborators only strengthens our commitment to the edged weapon market, and we look forward to unveiling his designs soon,” commented Rob Cabrera, Director and Designer, Edged Weapon Division.

Breed’s collaborations will be a part of DoubleStar’s Edged Weapon line of products, which was debuted at BLADE Show 2017 and is lead by Cabrera.

SOFIC 2018 – S&T Operating Environment and Futures Foundry.

DSC_2632

One of the highlights of this year’s SOFIC conference was the S&T Operating Environment and Futures Foundry presentatios. Colonel McGuire delivered what I felt was a truly enlightening briefing highlighting that in order to succeed, USSOCOM needs to approach the mission with a 5 to 7 year forward looking perspective.

We’ve all known that the battlefield is evolving, but what’s often overlooked is the rate of that change. In today’s environment, SOCOM finds itself confronting adversarial actors with converging capabilities. Technology that was once only available to nation states is now available, often at a lower cost, to proxy militaries or radical elements. Often, and particularly true for proxy militaries, nation states supply the technology; therefore, SOCOM’s goal is not just to keep up with the Jones’ but to get well ahead of the game. The objective is to deny the advantages of emerging technologies to our adversaries. To successfully achieve that objective, the needs are many. But, as Col. McGuire stated, SOCOM is not looking for a rifle that shoots farther or a different camouflage pattern and bringing the needed capabilities to fruition falls on the shoulders of SOCOM’s Science and Technology Group and the new Futures Foundry is the incubator.

NAPED’s Growing and Award-Winning Membership

New Bern, NC (May 2018) – The National Association of Police Equipment Distributors(NAPED) are just weeks away from their Annual General Meeting and Exhibition to be held in Savannah, Georgia. On hand, several new members will be participating for the first time. NAPED was founded in 1984 to serve the law enforcement distribution community and has since grown to include storefront and online retailers, manufacturers and industry professionals, including several leading media groups. The purpose of the non-profit NAPED association is to provide businesses with networking, marketing and educational resources to grow their business in a demanding and competitive environment.

NAPED honors the men and women who serve in law enforcement and public safety with an ongoing promotion for a limited membership of only $500 to any law enforcement or public safety owned and operated police equipment distributorship or dealership. This promotion ends June 1, 2018.

MagPump, innovators behind the fastest way to load magazines, will be attending their first NAPED AGM. The MagPump handgun loader system features a 50-round capacity hopper and mounts to any Weaver or Picatinny rail. The hopper-fed, loose ammunition is self-loading and oriented correctly in either direction. MagPump reduces magazine loading time by more than 50 percent and totally eliminates hand fatigue from loading.

Uniqative LLC is a law enforcement veteran owned company producing the next-gen extraction device. The X-Ball™ is a breaching tool designed to be hand held, as well as thrown for through the glass extraction, keeps police, military and firefighters from facing potential danger.

First Tactical’s DNA is in their cargo pants. First Tactical’s highly popular V2 pants support law enforcement, first responders and professional around the world.

Sightmark Introduces Revamped Ultra Shot Series: RAM Series


(MANSFIELD, TEXAS) – Sightmark is proud to announce the release of the latest generation of Sightmark reflex sights, ripe with upgrades and a fresh new design. With three available models; R, A and M-Spec, Sightmark has created resilient close-range optics perfect for everything from target shooting to law enforcement and military operations on both AR platform firearms and shotguns. All RAM series sights are now powered by a CR123A battery, which provides superior battery life (200-2,000 hours) over other red dots and reflex sights. A wide lens quickens target acquisition while helping to maintain a wide FOV. Quick-detach models include an improved QD lever allowing a low profile to keep the sights from snagging on gear or unlatching during the heat of the moment.

Ideal for target shooting and hunting, the Ultra Shot R-Spec (SM26031), or Range Spec, features four reticle options with red or green illumination and a new low battery indication which prompts the reticle to blink when the battery is low. The R-Spec boasts 10 brightness levels, from low light to sunny outdoors, and slotted windage and elevation adjustments, able to be changed with a flathead or common tool.

The new aluminum-constructed Ultra Shot A-Spec (SM26032), or Advanced Spec model, retains many of the same updates found in the R-Spec, but adds 6-night vision settings, allowing the sight to be used in conjunction with night vision devices. Shockproof up to 8 ft., the R-Spec is shielded by a sturdy aluminum alloy housing and protective aluminum shield.

The most durable and advanced sight in the Ultra Shot line, the new M-Spec LQD (SM26034) and M-Spec FMS (SM26035) were designed for law enforcement, hunting and competition shooting scenarios.

Detroit, Mich. (May 2018) – IDENTILOCK®, a division of Sentinl Inc., is proud to release its latest video featuring Rob Pincus, renowned trainer, author and consultant, reviewing IDENTILOCK, the world’s first biometric fingerprint trigger lock.

Rob Pincus Hands-On with IDENTILOCK®

“I really like the IDENTILOCK, specifically as a quick access security device for a stage defensive handgun,” remarked Pincus in the video.

In the video, Pincus highlights how the IDENTILOCK secures to the firearm and is ideal for securing your firearm while traveling. He also discusses how IDENTILOCK will deny access to those unauthorized and provides fast access to authorized users who have stored their fingerprints into the system. Pincus goes into depth about how the biometric fingerprint can be identified in multiple orientations and how it allows for multiple fingers or multiple users (up to three) to be stored in the system. He also highlights what happens if your hand is wet or dirty when operating an IDENTILOCK trigger lock system and demonstrates how to unlock the it using the mechanical key override.

The IDENTILOCK S&W-A1 Model, which is the model Rob Pincus used in his review.

Launched in 2017, IDENTILOCK utilizes state-of-the-art biometric technology that incorporates speed, usability and practicality with unmatched safety and security. It takes about 300 milliseconds – the same as the blink of an eye – for the IDENTILOCK to process a fingerprint and grant the firearm owner access to the handgun. By grasping the handgun with the index finger held out in a safe position, the fingerprint sensor identifies the user and releases the trigger lock.

For daily living, IDENTILOCK prevents children, guests or intruders from accidentally discharging a firearm. In a crisis, IDENTILOCK provides faster access than any other firearm safety device on the market. Constructed of high-strength, impact-resistant polymer, IDENTILOCK weighs in at less than 12 oz. and measures about the same size as a wallet. It is compatible with any USB Type-C charging outlet and will hold a charge up to six months while in standby mode.

Pincus is a professional trainer, author and consultant. He is the Owner of I.C.E Training Company and Executive Director of the Personal Defense Network, the internet’s highest quality collection of training articles and video clips. He attended the Military College of Vermont at Norwich University and was commissioned as an Officer in the U.S. Army Reserve after earning a degree in Political Science. Pincus has worked in law enforcement, private security and as a firearms, personal defense and tactics instructor. He is the developer of the Combat Focus® Shooting program, the most efficient defensive firearms training methodology available today. In addition to his teaching career, Pincus is the author of several books, dozens of articles and has been featured on several television shows.

GLOCK America Wins São Paulo Military Police Solicitation

 

SMYRNA, Ga. – May 19, 2017  After extensive testing, the Procurement Service of the Military Police of São Paulo has declared the GLOCK 22 as the winner of its international solicitation.   Five thousand service pistols will be provided for the Special Forces CHOQUE, COE, GATE and ROTA.

The extensive testing for the solicitation included endurance testing, parts interchangeability testing, precision testing, and drop testing.  The endurance testing consisted of 10,000 rounds on each of four test pistols without cleaning or lubrication during the test.  The drop testing was conducted from a distance of 2 meters to simulate pistols being dropped from mounted units and was done from six different angles, totaling 64 drops.

This is the first time a Brazilian law enforcement unit conducted an international tender for service pistols, which included hands-on product testing.

“All tests were implemented in a very transparent and public manner as any interested party could participate in these tests as observers,” said GLOCK America’s Managing Director Patrick Voller.

GLOCK won this international solicitation against competition from Beretta and Sig Sauer.

AACUS Makes First Operational Cargo Delivery to US Marines Aurora’s AACUS Program Honored with Howard Hughes Award

Twentynine Palms, California, May 17, 2018 – Aurora’s Autonomous Aerial Cargo Utility System (AACUS) achieved a major milestone last week when it successfully delivered cargo to US Marines in the Integrated Training Exercise at the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms in California.

AACUS completed its first closed loop mission from takeoff to landing for its intended purpose: actual cargo resupply to Marines. The AACUS enabled UH-1H helicopter successfully completed an autonomous cargo sustainment flight delivering 520 pounds of water, gasoline, MREs, and replacement communications gear including a packed cooler to represent urgently required cargo such as blood. This was the first ever autonomous point-to-point cargo resupply mission providing critical logistics support to Marines in need.

Developed under Office of Naval Research’s (ONR) Innovative Naval Prototype program, the AACUS enabled UH-1 helicopter is capable of flying completely autonomously, using only its onboard sensors, advanced computers and intelligent algorithms to plan its trajectory and to select its own landing sites in unmapped and hazardous environments. “The AACUS program exceeded all of our expectations,” said Dennis Baker, AACUS PM, “The team delivered on each of the ambitious technical performance goals, on schedule and under budget.”

“Aurora is building autonomous systems that will enable tomorrow’s intelligent aircraft,” said John Langford, Aurora’s founder and CEO. “Whether it’s protecting Marines in combat or providing accessible urban transportation, autonomy is the key to the future of aerospace.”

Aurora’s AACUS program was recently selected by the American Helicopter Society (AHS) for its Howard Hughes Award in recognition of an outstanding improvement in fundamental helicopter technology brought to fruition in the previous 18 months. The AACUS team was recognized at the Grand Awards Banquet on May 16th during AHS’s 74th Annual Forum & Technology Display in Phoenix, Arizona. For more information on Aurora visit www.aurora.aero.
