Wednesday, June 6th, 2012CROWS II EOF Kit 
Wednesday, June 6th, 2012
The Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station or CROWS has done a lot to protect our troops from exposure to enemy fire during mounted operations. It allows a system operator to use a electro-optical/IR system to observe outside the vehicle and engage targets with an integrated weapon from as small as the M249 SAW or M240 GPMG up to a Mk19 40mm GL or .50 M2 HMG. The Army realized that these are lethal options and wanted to leverage the successes of non-lethal technologies used in the Traffic Control Point kit such as the BE Meyers GLARE.
The result is the Escalation of Force Kit Integration for the CROWS System. ADS provides these kits which integrate green laser technology from B.E. Meyers GLARE MOUT Plus lasers. The lasers emit an intense band of green light, disrupting a person’s vision and ability to drive a vehicle or aim a weapon. In addition to the lasers, CROWS II EOF Kits incorporate high-powered lighting from Surefire (Hellfighter), PeakBeam (MaxaBeam), or Xenonics (NightHunter), as a secondary means of visual warning. Naturally, a light with that much power pulls double duty as an aid in targeting and identification. Interestingly, the kits also feature the LRAD 300X. LRAD systems were recently chosen for use at the London Olympics for their ability to discourage unruly crowds. For TCP use, the LRAD also offers the ability to provide audible warning and hailing at distances of over 1,000M.

LandCamo ABD SERE for Sale
Wednesday, June 6th, 2012
SSFN has released the Australian Battle Dress SERE pattern for sale. It has also been presented to the Slovenian (SSFN’s home) Ministry of Defence.
According to SSFN’s Website, the patterns incorporate several features:
“Innovations featured by our camouflage patterns include the following characteristics:
– They are covered with micro and macro structures;
– They blend in with almost any vegetation environments, including sparse areas;
– The camouflage patterns behave with great deal of illusion and interference of visual perception, thereby creating shapes and sharp edges, which cause a blurring in observers’ vision, especially when the pattern is in motion.
– It creates unusual shapes with a virtual depth of view and gives a sense of three-dimensionality.
– It is, therefore, the perfect camouflage solution for all terrains and provides enhanced in-field protection for troops and for deployment and in operational conditions.”
