Unveiled at last week’s HALO’s SC/T Summit in San Diego, CA, the Agile Combat System.

All these and future panels and packs interface with the new Enhanced Harness System collar. The EHS is backwards compatible with the Draco HBP and all MPAR and AKAR v2′s.

It also doubles as the perfect weekender for shorter Op’s while maintaining a low-profile, and can serve as the perfect range bag [with optional padded insert] for a long day at the range.

Haley Strategic Partners – Disruptive Industries Day Three
Thursday, June 14th, 2012Disruptive Industries is a unique, invitation-only event bringing together industry, military, and law enforcement. It is designed to teach, inspire, build relationships, open communications and create new channels for innovation in the defense sector. Every experience has been devised to accomplish each of these tasks in one way or another, from training classes to meals as well as other organized social events.
We’ve already experienced two days of shooting, physical conditioning, and associated tactical training. Oddly enough, day 3 kicked off much like day 2, with another ass kicking from former Russian Spetznaz operator Saulius “Sonny” Puzikas. Except, this time, he really did kick our asses. During the various demonstrations of Systema hand to hand, pretty much every one of us got a chance to take a blow or two from Sonny. Naturally, we got to knock each other around a little as well. The training was no nonsense and focused on staying out of a grapple and incapacitating your aggressor. All in all, it was fantastic.
Next up were classes on surreptitious entry and restraint escape by Bryan Black of ITS Tactical. After lunch we ran through various room clearing drills. Scenarios focused on PSD work but the lessons could be applied to multiple scenarios.
As I mentioned earlier, D1 is very much about fostering innovation and relationships. One of the best things about Disruptive Industries is the opportunity to network and cross-talk. This includes all participants. Everyone has learned from our esteemed instructors and I’d hazard to guess that they have picked up a few things from us as well. Additionally, Mil and LE have been able to compare notes and share experiences with each other as well as interact with the industry reps. For the industry folks, this experience has been invaluable. In some cases, different companies have been able to discuss collaborations and, in every case, industry has gained knowledge from the interaction with military and LE attendees.
It’s been great working with the military and LE members as well as HSP’s industry partners HSGI, G-Code Holsters, Impact Weapons Components, Arc’teryx LEAF, Outdoor Research, US Palm, B5 Systems, Emissive Energy/Inforce, UTM, Rifle Dynamics, Dark Mountain Research, PNW Ammunition and Kill Cliff as well as media reps from ITS Tactical.
Don’t forget, ITS Tactical is also on hand so make sure you visit their site for additional photos. Look for the simultaneous release of an AAR from both of us soon. Until then, enjoy our serialized look at HSP’s Disruptive Industries.

Line of Fire Grip System
Sunday, January 8th, 2012Some very exciting news from Line of Fire. At SHOT Show, they are unveiling their new Line of Fire Grip System. They’ve partnered with TangoDown and US PALM to introduce several new products that are designed to accept TEGS tape in order to take full advantage of the Technology Enhanced Grip System (TEGS). TEGS is a patented micro-replication technology developed by 3M that provides superior grip in both wet and dry conditions.
