Agilite will be exhibiting at SHOT Show next week and have announced that they’ll be revealing several brand new products. Visit them at Booth 31011 to see what they’ve been working on.
Based on customer requests, Mystery Ranch has introduced the All In Deployment Bag which launches next week during SHOT Show.
Offered in Berry compliant and international versions, this 160 L bag features wheels and a large central compartment.
The team at Mystery Ranch assembled a focus group of end-users to create the All In. Unlike other bags in the market which are festooned with external pockets, the All In is a more sleek design with just a clear ID/document sleeve.
Made from 1000D, there are also ample carrying handles and haul loops to bear the load in addition to a wheeled removable frame for additional rigidity. The frame also keeps the bag upright and they’ve reinforced the corners of the bag to prevent wear.
As I mentioned earlier, there are USA and international versions. In order to keep the price lower on the Berry compliant version, it doesn’t include all of the features found on the international version.
To the left is the Berry compliant model and on the right, the international. While the Berry model an internal compression strap, the international model has dividers which allow it to be used like a steamer trunk.
The Berry compliant version is offered in Coyote and MultiCam while the international version can be had in Black, Coyote and MultiCam.
Check out both versions of the All On Deployment Bag at SHOT Show in booth #31309.
Washington – On Dec. 20, 2022, the U.S. Army awarded a task order to Microsoft Corporation to develop the 1.2 variant of the Integrated Visual Augmentation System.
This task order is the latest step in the process that began in March 2021, when the Army awarded Microsoft a firm-fixed-price Other Transaction Authority production agreement to manufacture IVAS. Under that agreement, the Army envisioned improving the system through an iterative process, and this task order will provide improvements based on completed test events.
The IVAS will provide Soldiers with a single device to fight, rehearse and train by integrating next-generation situational awareness tools. To date, the Army has conducted over 30 Soldier test events and more than 100 technical sub-tests, with more than 1,000 Soldiers contributing nearly 100,000 hours of IVAS user feedback. These tests validated the system’s continued progress while identifying areas for focused improvements.
IVAS will begin incremental fielding in September 2023. IVAS 1.0 provides baseline warfighter capability, and the IVAS 1.1 features an improved low-light sensor to aid maneuver and positive target identification. In addition to the IVAS 1.1 improvements, IVAS 1.2 will include a new form factor to address Human Systems Integration, including physiological impacts identified during testing, and a lower profile heads-up display with distributed counterweight for improved user interface and comfort. IVAS 1.2 will also include software improvements for increased reliability and reduced power demand.
Delivery orders for IVAS 1.2 production systems will be placed after qualification and operational testing.
The Army will continue to work with its IVAS industry partner, Microsoft, to execute the IVAS program in a rapid and innovative manner. The iterative and Soldier feedback oriented developmental process for IVAS will result in fielding substantial capability several years ahead of traditional acquisition program timelines. The Army is fully committed to IVAS and the leap-ahead capability it will provide for Soldiers to prevail on the battlefield.
