Raven Concealment Systems and Eleven 10 LLC Collaborate on New Low-Viz Blow-Out Kit

Wednesday, May 1st, 2013

This is literally a first-draft prototype of a low-vis blow-out kit Raven Concealment Systems is co-developing with fellow NE Ohio-based tactical company Eleven 10 LLC.

20130501-151139.jpg

This kit is mounted on a Raven Concealment Systems ModuLoader Frames (a 5-finger Modular Frame).

The tourniquet carrier uses no straps or flaps, yet securely holds a CAT TQ in any position. The best part about this component is that it requires no secondary motions to deploy the TQ; simply grab the CAT and draw it from the carrier.

The mini-blow out kit uses a compact pull-out pouch containing a trauma dressing, Quick Clot Combat Gauze, Russell Chest Seal, and a pair of gloves.

The pouch design is only a proof of concept, and the production version will be much cleaner execution.
