The coolest giveaway I saw at AUSA was the “Felin in Action” graphic novel in the French Army booth. It features the French Army’s Digitization suite (Felin) in action. The copy I saw was in English so I wonder if these are available for sale as it looks like it’s part of a series.
Colt debuted their new SWORD system at AUSA. The Sniper Weapon & Observer Reconnaissance Devices Technology Demonstrator is based on Colt Canada’s Small Arms Network Power Data System. It combines a laser designator equipped observer with snipers utilizing Android networked rifles.
SWORD not only allows the observer to designate targets for multiple shooters but the snipers can also share data across the network including live optic feeds.
The nodes in the network are IP based so data can be shared with anyone given permissions. The system can accept additional data inputs such as UAV feeds.
The various rifle mounted components include a networked optic and Android device which sit atop Colt’s powered rail which incorporates a battery in the buttstock. Alternatively, it can use a Panacis SharePack.
ExplosiveOps Gear’s Low Profile Utility (LPU) pouch was designed for SOF, EOD, and breachers. Its design allows the operator to quickly access explosives or initiators with either hand without the bulk of most pouches. The ambidextrous design makes the LPU ideal for applications incluing SSE or HME Kits, small jackets, gloves, and PUC hoods. Multiple grommets allow water to drain from the pouch. Made from 1000D Cordura nylon.
The LPU is available with various mounting backs: MOLLE, 2″ belt mount, and Velcro hook.
The LPU is available in the following colors: MultiCam, OD Green, Coyote Tan, Earth Brown, and Black.
Made in the USA with a lifetime guarantee.

We stopped by Revision and they showed us a couple of technologies that they are adapting for use in USSOCOM’s TALOS (Tactical Assault Lightweight Operator Suit) program. The Prowler was developed with Canadian firm B-tema and serves as a lower extremity enhancement exoskeleton. Revision is also working to offer armor panels for the Prowler that will protect the legs and in particular the femoral artery from threats.
“Revision is committed to developing next generation Soldier protection. Two key technology programs that were launched at AUSA this year are the ‘Advanced Head Protection System (AHPS),’ and the ‘Prowler Human Augmentation,’ system.
The AHPS is a rifle round stopping helmet, with full maxillo facial protection, integrated electronics, integrated heads up display to Android, and pneumatic liner system that meets the new 14.1 fps impact requirement. The AHPS was developed in concert with the US Army Labs Natick.
The Prowler, is Revision’s Human Augmentation device. It increases a soldiers metabolic reserve while preventing short and long term injuries. The Prowler allows our soldiers to be more lethal on the objective while increasing deployability through reduced injury. The Prowler, has been tested by SOCOM and CANSOFCOM, and is under contract with the US Army Labs Natick. Shown to provide a 33% mechanical advantage, the Prowler proves to be the next human augmentation system.
Both systems are continuing to be innovated in support of several DoD and international programs as well as SOCOM’s TALOS program.”
Revision also showed us their .30 protective helmet solution that was originally developed for the US Army but is being adapted to the TALOS requirement. The Advanced Head Protection System will incorporate a .30 protective mandible and visor as well as the pneumatic, adjustable padding system and dual ratchet-style adjustment already available from Revision.
