BCM

Hartland, WI – August 31, 2017 – BCM is proud to announce, The Capability, a new series produced by BCM and created and directed by Jon Chang (creator/director of the American Gunfighter documentary series and the Black Powder Red Earth™ graphic novel series).

The first chapter of The Capability is a demonstration showcasing instructors from Northern Red working side by side with students from a counter terrorism unit, executing a multi-breach multi-team hostage rescue mission.

Staffed exclusively with US Army Special Operations combat veterans, Northern Red specializes in developing core skills, the application of those skills and internal cultural transformations of law enforcement and security forces at metropolitan and national levels. BCM provides Northern Red the most capable and reliable weapon systems possible, required for high-risk zero fail missions such as hostage rescue, combat raids and high threat dignitary protection missions domestically or abroad.

The Capability is a celebration of the men selected to preserve our nation at tip of the spear.

Thursday, August 31st, 2017

Veteran Owned and American Made Company, in coordination with TroopsDirect, Donates $10,000 worth of products to support the Texas National Guard during the Hurricane Harvey relief efforts.

Palmetto, FL August 30, 2017: Strike Force Beverage of Palmetto Florida donates $10,000 dollars’ worth of Strike Force Energy to the Texas National Guard.

With Hurricane Harvey relief efforts well underway, it is going to take a team effort of national proportion, and Strike Force is trying to do our small part. Everyone volunteering on these efforts is working grueling hours, which will leave them mentally and physically exhausted. Our healthier alternative to canned energy drinks is the perfect solution to support the relief efforts.

“Thank you to everyone for stepping up and helping all Americans in Texas and the Gulf Coast region after this devastating natural disaster,” said Co-founder & CEO Bruce Schlee

TroopsDirect is proud to partner with Strike Force Energy because like us, Strike Force knows the importance of supporting – at a moment’s notice and without hesitation – those Guardsmen who are rescuing the men, women and children of the great state of Texas. – TroopsDirect.org

Along with our initial donation, Strike Force is offering its customers an opportunity to pitch in. By entering discount code “HARVEY” at checkout at www.StrikeForceEnergy.com, Strike Force will match your purchase with a donation to local Police, Fire, and EMS workers in the affected areas.

Strike Force Energy is a high-powered liquid energy drink concentrate that can be mixed with any beverage. Sugar free / calorie free with nearly no sodium and around 1/3 of the ingredients, Strike Force is healthier than other canned energy drinks. “The Beverage Enhancer ™” means just that, we can go into any beverage, allowing you to create your own energy drink experience.

IPS & REI Exhibiting Full Range of Electronic Detection Equipment at DSEI 17

Thursday, August 31st, 2017

IPS (International Procurement Services) & REI (Research Electronics Internaitonal) will be exhibiting their full range of electronic detection equipment at DSEI ExCel London, 12-15 September 2017

Among the range on show, will be the newly launched ORION 900 HX and ORION HX Deluxe Non-Linear Junction Detectors and the new TALAN 3 Telephone and Line Analyzer.

The new ORION 900 HX NLJD uses lower frequency to detect electronic semi-conductor components through dense materials such as bricks, concrete and soil. The longer 900 MHz wavelength enables it to detect older, less refined circuitry, to detect and locate hidden cameras, microphones, and other electronic devices regardless of whether the surveillance device is radiating, hard wired, or turned off.

Whereas the ORION 2.4 HX NLJD has a shorter wavelength of 2.4GHz, is better at detecting modern, surface-mounted circuitry and electronic semi-conductor components within normal office environments.

The ORION HX Deluxe NLJD has interchangeable 2.4GHz / 900 MHz antenna heads which are easily exchanged. The touch screen controller, automatically recognises which antenna is being used and displays the corresponding data. The Deluxe sweeps both small, modern circuitry in office environments, and older, less refined circuitry through dense materials.

The new TALAN 3.0 Telephone and Line Analyzer has enhanced VoIP traffic analysis on phones and networks, patent pending FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) algorithm for visual display of VoIP traffic, earth/ground testing for modified connections to extraneous wiring and an advanced input panel to accept and test shielded ethernet cables.

The TALAN 3.0 analyses digital, analogue and VoIP phone systems and wiring for faults, anomalies and security risks using a suite of telephone tests including an automatic switching matrix. By capturing and analysing the network stream for fast identification of unauthorised VoIP traffic it can quickly detect if a VoIP phone system is passing data packets even when the phone is not in use.

The easy-to-use interface allows users to visually observe patterns of consistent, repetitive traffic. Common VoIP services will often display a unique set of characteristics that can later be used to visually identify similar sets of traffic. Extensive, advanced filtering makes it easier to locate and identify suspicious packet information.
