Milipol 25 – Heathcoat Graphene+
Thursday, November 20th, 2025Heathcoat is a fabric producer in the UK. Their Graphene+ is manufactured by an additive process which impregnates a Graphene grid to the back of the fabric. This facilitates the dissipation of heat over 50% faster than fabric which is not treated.
As you can imagine, there is interest in adding this process for clothing worn by air and ground crews as Graphese is inherently FR and the process adds no additional vulnerability to flame. Seen here is MTP printed fabric with a weight of 180g. The process only adds another 40 g per square meter.
Milipol 25 – MP-SEC & Ghost Robotics
Thursday, November 20th, 2025
Ghost Robotics has a tight relationship with MP-SEC in France. Not only does MP-SEC represent the Vision 60 Quadraped Unmanned Ground System and accessories, they also work with clients to outfit the Vision 60 to fill their requirements.
Often referred to colloquially as a “Robot Dog” the Vision 60 is well known to SSD readers for its ability to integrate a wide variety of lethal and sensor packages.
For example, seen above is Ghost Robotics’ new Manipulator Arm. Extendable up to 1 meter, the arm offers seamless integration with 6 Degrees of Freedom. The Vision 60 to the rear is outfitted with a sensor appliqué manufactured in-house at MP-SEC. Customizable for each user need, this version incorporates stereo thermal cameras and illuminator along with a LIDAR package. Manufactured from 6961 T6 aluminum, the sensor package is IP67 rated like the Vision 60 it is mounted to.
They’ve also integrated a system which allows the Vision 60 to carry and deploy two ReconRobotics Throwbots to get a look into tighter spaces.
Sons of Liberty Gun Works Awarded USSOCOM Contract for MK1 Rifle
Thursday, November 20th, 2025
San Antonio, TX – Sons of Liberty Gun Works (SOLGW) is proud to announce it has been awarded a contract by U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) for the Combat Assault Rifle (CAR) program. Following a rigorous competitive evaluation, a select-fire variant of the SOLGW MK1 rifle with an 11.5-inch barrel was chosen to equip America’s most elite warfighters.
SOCOM’s evaluation demanded the highest standards of small arms performance, including extensive trials for durability, precision, reliability, and environmental resilience. The SOLGW rifle endured extreme conditions—heat, cold, dust, mud, and salt exposure—while maintaining consistent function and accuracy.
The MK1 selected by SOCOM is the result of a multi-year development effort, building upon SOLGW’s extensive experience producing ultra-reliable rifles trusted by law enforcement and civilian shooters. Every component was analyzed and refined to maximize reliability, shootability, and durability, ensuring the platform can perform anywhere in the world.
“This is an incredible honor for Sons of Liberty Gun Works and something I dreamed about when I was building my first rifles in my garage,” said Mike Mihalski, Founder of SOLGW. “Our mission has always been to build the world’s finest fighting rifles for those who go into harm’s way. To have SOCOM select our rifle after such demanding trials is the ultimate validation of that mission.”
CEO Nate Horvath added: “I am incredibly proud of our team for their effort on this project, and excited to officially share the news. The MK1 has already seen strong adoption in the commercial and law enforcement markets, where its performance advantages are immediately clear. While this milestone is significant, our team remains focused on delivering reliable, high-quality, performance-driven fighting rifles to all ofour customers. The future of the MK1 family is bright, and there is more to come.”

xTechOverwatch Competition Showcases Autonomous Capabilities
Thursday, November 20th, 2025
BRYAN, Texas — U.S. Army Transformation and Training Command hosted xTechOverwatch for Unmanned Systems Oct. 27-29, 2025, at the Bush Combat Development Center – Innovation Proving Ground in Bryan, Texas, which provided industry partners and academia the ability to compete for opportunities to continue development integrated within the Army.
This invitation-only competition showcased cutting-edge autonomous unmanned system technologies from 40 selected industry teams, evaluated alongside private capital partners, as they integrate their solutions with the Army’s most lethal squads. Twenty teams were chosen to continue development with the Army.
These teams will work directly with Transformation in Contact formations from January 2026 to July 2027, providing the chance to influence the Army’s modernization strategy by accelerating autonomous capabilities.
This competitive assessment, facilitated by T2COM and key stakeholders, aimed to accelerate the adoption of autonomous systems in line with the Chief of Staff of the Army’s directive. Competitors demonstrated their air, ground, payload, and collaborative autonomy technologies on situational training lanes, providing a real-world assessment of their capabilities.
“xTechOverwatch was incredibly successful for the Army,” Lt. Col. Nick Rinaldi, competition lead, Army Applications Laboratory, said. “Having the entire ‘materiel kill chain’ as evaluators invested in the outcome was critical to the speed of decisions on which technologies were most suited to move into a TiC formation.”
Rinaldi continued, “this was a microcosm of how we have to do business. We have to engage industry on real problems we’re trying to solve, get their capabilities in a place where Soldier formations can actually use the equipment in context and in concert with other capabilities, and then make decision quickly.”
A critical component of this approach is the rapid fielding of experimental technologies to active-duty units. The competitors selected will be under contract within 60 days to work directly with the formations training cycle. This allows Soldiers to experiment with prototypes and provide crucial feedback, driving iterative improvements.
By exposing warfighters to cutting-edge advancements, the Army empowers them to adapt, anticipate challenges, and maintain relevance in the modern battlespace. Delaying this process risks forcing Soldiers to learn how to use these capabilities under the pressure of combat.
