Stockholm, December 28, 2017
INVISIO has received an order concerning deliveries to the US Army’s new specialized unit Security Force Assistance Brigades (SFAB). The order is valued SEK 10 million and connects to the previous order of SEK 20 million announced on December 4, 2017, amounting to a total order value of about SEK 30 million. Deliveries will take place during the first half of 2018.
The order includes communications system with control units and headsets for use with a radio. By ensuring a good hearing protection while the wearer can communicate and maintain situational awareness, the INVISIO systems address the Army’s modernization initiatives and provides Soldiers with the tactical advantage necessary to achieve mission success.
“We are proud to deliver our advanced communication systems to new units within the US Armed Forces. INVISIO’s systems are world leading in its segment and with this order we are strengthening our position further,” said Lars Højgård Hansen, CEO of INVISIO.
The Security Force Assistance Brigades are specialized units whose core mission is to conduct advise-and-assist operations with allied and partner nations. Soldiers in SFABs are highly trained and will help brigade combat teams build readiness by freeing them from advisory missions.
Must be nice to be the CSA’s pet project… Meanwhile line units with a METL struggle to keep enough Peltors up.
They’re deploying and are specifically designed to serve the need of the fight we’re in. They’re also significantly smaller and easier to equip than BCT’s, which, you know, was kind of the point.
If it looks like a force on force near peer fight is imminent, the focus on SFABs will diminish, or more accurately, they will be plussed up into actual BCTs to join the maneuver force, which is also part of their design.
In the meantime we’ll be fine running around Area J without the latest and greatest in communication equipment.
Guys, visit MCoE Conf, SHOT Show, Marine South and (I’m assuming from ‘Area J’) your Bragg expos so you and your S4s can learn how to procure for your units. http://www.dla.mil/TroopSupport/ConstructionandEquipment/Spec-Ops-marine-lifesaving/SOE-Blackout-Notice/
Without this, you’ll continue to only buy a GPC cards worth of equipment during your time in that unit.
Peltor Comtac’s for radio users and TEP-100s for everyone else are a huge hit! Easily done through DLA with a MIPR!

What jacket and carrier is the guy on the right wearing? Just curious…
It looks like he’s a Brit going by the MTP pattern and cut, therefore it’s a Virtus scalable vest, made by SOURCE
Seriously… every time I see them getting all this stuff, it makes me wonder what their actual mission is or if they even know. But hey I guess a brigade staff advisory element needs AVS and INVISIO kit.
SFAB we’re just like SFG
Lulz. They are TCAPS. I was signed for 33 sets of these back at Campbell. I bet they are on half the commenters books here and they have no clue.
Just keep counting them during inventories, turbo.
Everyone’s always worried about what everyone else is doing. Buncha Kardashian-level drama llamas in here.
Yeah, but are they gonna get the pinks-and-greens first?
Lol No they are getting pinks and browns to match their green-not green berets.
I’ve got no dog in the fight here, but what’s with all the animosity leveled at the SFAB concept and people?
It’s the holier than thou crowd that usually comments on this site. All they’re going to bring up is the SFAB is being issued a greenish beret with a SOF flash on it and a patch that looks like an arrowhead
That’s really about it
