On today’s military battlefield efficient communication is essential for reducing risk for the soldier and ensuring mission success. Therefore, INVISIO has developed the advanced tactical communication systems INVISIO X50, INVISIO V60 and now INVISIO V30, which provides full radio functionality, crystal-clear communication and hearing protection for a variety of mission scenarios, for both mounted and dismounted soldiers.

TEA’s new INVISIO V30 tactical in-ear headset system is a very simple to use and intuitive system at a “budget friendly” price point. It builds from the successful and heavily fielded INVISIO V60 and is a true in-the-ear solution that offers dual communication and full certified hearing protection with situational awareness maintained.

TEA’s line of INVISIO tactical in-ear systems have greatly expands the user’s capabilities to effectively communicate on the battlefield with it’s ability to work with practically any 2-way radio, vehicle/aircraft/watercraft intercoms, mobile phones, tablets, and even computers.

All INVISIO systems come standard with the INVISIO X5 dual in-ear headset, which has the patented INVISIO Bone Conduction technology delivering crystal-clear, interference-free communication even under the most demanding and extreme conditions. The ability to communicate freely even under very high levels of noise is made possible as the technology in INVISIO’s headsets are based on a microphone inside the ear that picks up speech from vibrations in the jawbone and converts them into sound.

The features of INVISIO communication and hearing protection systems X50, V30 and V60 stem from INVISIO’s leading technical know-how and market knowledge from delivering many thousands of proven mission critical communication systems to demanding users worldwide. With INVISIO, users get a highly flexible, lightweight system and a compact form factor. The units are smaller and lighter compared to most competitive products on the market.

GRID-HERCULES Engineered Material Now Available For Body Armor & Outdoor Industry Manufacturers In Turn-Key Product Solutions

Monday, October 21st, 2013

Cologne, NJ, October 15, 2013 – Global textile supplier Absecon Industries announced today that it is now providing custom design support for its customers to help develop profitable turn-key product solutions that can be brought to market quickly utilizing Absecon’s’ GRID-HERCULES engineered material. Customer benefits include access to innovative designs, rapid product development, and next-generation materials. Precluding the need for manufacturers to hire their own full-time design team or purchase costly 2D/3D CAD software, workstations, design prototype equipment, and laser cutters which can exceed one-hundred thousand dollars.

Customer demand for the GRID-HERCULES material combined with persistent appeals for technical assistance in deploying this new technology inspired Absecon to further assist customers by making available in-house design and product development team for assistance. Initially only for prototypes and trade show samples, but it became overwhelmingly clear that Absecon customers preferred full-time turn-key product development support.

Therefore, beginning January 2014, Absecon Industries will offer bulk laser-cutting, and CAD design services for GRID-HERCULES customers only. Body armor, outdoor equipment, and back-pack designers wishing to employ this new technology, but do not have in-house laser-cutting capabilities, will soon be able to securely upload CAD files to the GRIDHERCULES.COM website for laser cutting and prompt delivery. Likewise, for customers who do not have product designers and product development engineers available, Absecon design engineers can rapidly and cost effectively take a product from a concept sketch to a technical data package. Available services will include 2D/3D pre-production/concept CAD models, drawing flats, pattern creation, laser cutting, collaboration with your staff to build prototypes and capacity to have the initial prototypes built by the Absecon team.

“GRID-HERCULES engineered material represents the cutting edge of textile and polymer technology” said Randolph Taylor, CEO and President of Absecon Industries, “and this service will help guide GRID-HERCULES customers through the complex design and manufacturing process that would otherwise keep them from purchasing our laser-cut engineered material. This new service from Absecon will allow more military and more law enforcement personnel worldwide to access this new technology much sooner.”

Ares Armor Introduces Derma Universal Cummerbund Kit

Sunday, October 20th, 2013

Many are interested in the innovative Derma Armor Carrier designed by Jon Zum and introduced earlier this year by Ares Armor with its custom low profile cummerbund featuring buckles created in conjunction with AustriAlpin. But, the reality is that most must use an issue armor carrier. Ares has heard your pleas and is offering the Derma Universal Cummerbund Kit retrofit that will work with most front opening armor carriers.

Donning and doffing is accomplished with their custom made attachment from AustriAlpine, meaning no more noise from hook and pile tape. It also adds a release to the system so that a non-releasable carrier is now releasable via pull cord attached into the system. Finally, the DUCK offers a triple bungee design not found anywhere else.
