The UDT Vest design hasn’t changed since WWII but recently, they updated the fitting for the CO2 cartridge to a more modern component. Turns out, nobody wanted to make the old metal ones anymore. There’s talk of a whole new design but so far it’s just talk and these still have to be hand manufactured just like in days of old.

Gunfighter Moment – Kyle Defoor

Saturday, April 27th, 2013

Gospel

When conducting real operations or higher level training where individuals are in anything other than a static firing line, all persons must adhere to at least three of the four rules of firearms safety at all times, including accidental falls, and incorrect movement. No exceptions.

If you saw some of the weapons handling and manipulation in Boston you know that this is one of the least touched upon subjects in the shooting/LE world. It is considerably better now in the mil with the exception of pistol only work, which still trips up our soldiers who don’t use a handgun that much.

“Advanced” shooting has nothing to do with targets and timers and everything to do with decisions and tactics. Don’t invent it on the day.

-Kyle Defoor

Panacis raises $1.8M for Soldier Battery Pack

Saturday, April 27th, 2013

Ottawa-based Panacis Inc. is expanding its local presence to go full-steam ahead with commercialization of its new military battery system following financial contributions from investors and taxpayers.

“The FedDev Ontario investment supports engineering and marketing development activities, which are both essential to the successful launch of the Soldier Sharepack product into international markets,” stated Panacis CEO Janet Mason.

After raising a funding round of $1.2 million from members of the Capital Angel Network, Panacis attracted $613,457 from the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario, known as FedDev Ontario, through its program that matches 50 per cent of investor contributions.

The funding will be used to fund the Soldier Sharepack, a wearable energy storage system that garners additional battery power from a user’s movement and renewable sources such as solar.

Panacis also plans to hire up to 15 additional full-time employees in Ottawa to scale up its manufacturing capabilities, according to the release.
