April 1-2 | San Diego Convention Center

Keynote Speaker David Goggins | Wednesday, April 1 at 0900

Readiness: Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds

For Goggins, there is no scoreboard. He pushes himself past his comfort zone to achieve because no other experience makes him feel more clear, focused and alive. Hear Goggins describe the day one, week one mindset how to reframe your mind to a achieve the impossible.

PUSHING THE LIMIT

An accomplished endurance athlete, Goggins has competed in more than 60 ultra-marathons, triathlons and ultra-triathlons, setting new course records and regularly placing in the top five. A former Guinness World Record holder for completing 4,030 pull-ups in 17 hours, he was also the recipient of the 2018 VFW Americanism award and was inducted into the International Sports Hall of Fame in March of 2019.

He’s a much-sought-after public speaker who has shared his story with the staffs of Fortune 500 companies, professional sports teams and hundreds of thousands of students across the country. He is also the author of the NYT Bestseller Can’t Hurt Me.

WHAT DRIVES DAVID

All of the awards, medals, accolades and magazine articles mean nothing to David. That’s not why he does what he does. Although David has raised a lot of money and awareness for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, none of this recognition is relevant to him. He’s not trying to be number one in the world. He’s not interested in how many races he’s run. He doesn’t keep track of the miles he’s gone. Instead, it’s all about achieving his personal best.

Join ADS in San Diego, CA April 1-2 to hear from David Goggins before experiencing innovative solutions from industry-leading suppliers at Warrior WEST where we equip the modern warfighter with advanced capabilities that optimize performance, improve readiness and increase lethality and survivability.

ADS Showcases Updates To Hydroid REMUS 600 Unmanned Underwater Vehicle

Wednesday, February 5th, 2020

In the past, Hydroid’s REMUS Underwater Vehicle would complete its mission and it would take 10 hours or more to download the datasets. With the addition of the new HISAS 2040 Module, the data is processed during the mission, so users get high-def images in near real time. Here is the ADS press release.

Hydroid Integrates HISAS 2040 Module with In-Mission Processor onto a REMUS 600 Unmanned Underwater Vehicle.

The in-mission processor (pictured in red) allows real-time processing of HISAS data, giving operators the ability to download high-resolution images immediately when the vehicle returns from its mission.

Unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) play a crucial role within the defense space with their ability to carry out unique missions. UUVs provide many advantages to the fleet with their autonomy and long endurance, making missions safer and easier to accomplish. Their modularity allows for them to be outfitted with different payloads for varying mission requirements.

REMUS 600 UUV applications include:

· Mine Countermeasure Operations

· Hydrographic Surveys

· Search & Salvage Operations

· Marine Research

· Environmental Monitoring

· Debris Field Mapping

View Product Details

The REMUS 600 UUV from Hydroid, Inc. is positively buoyant and is designed to operate to depths of 600 meters. With mission duration capability of up to 24 hours, the REMUS 600 delivers unprecedented endurance. Sonar technology is used on these UUVs to capture images for organic mine countermeasure, hydrographic surveys, area searches, and surveillance and reconnaissance.

HISAS 2040 provides up to 2cm by 2cm resolution across a 300-meter swath. Synthetic aperture sonar uses algorithms to synthetically lengthen the aperture, providing consistent resolution across the entire swath, both along and across track, as opposed to traditional real aperture side scan sonars. Because of the high resolution of HISAS, the files are very large and can take several hours to download after a mission is complete.

To help solve this problem, Hydroid, Inc. integrated an in-mission processor on a REMUS 600 Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) with the KONGSBERG High-Resolution Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Sonar (HISAS) 2040.

With the in-mission processor, HISAS data is processed and compressed in real-time along with the navigation data, allowing immediate download of the sonar imagery when the vehicle returns from its mission through a 10GB Ethernet switch. This is ideal for time-sensitive missions like mine countermeasures, where faster data access means safer, more efficient operations. Other HISAS applications include hydrographic surveys, pipeline inspection and rapid environmental assessment.

Phokus Research Group Launches Two New Medical Products in ADS Inc Booth at SHOT Show

Tuesday, January 21st, 2020

Phokus Research Group is launching two new products—a waterproof option for their behind the plate and pocket trauma kits, as well as the second generation Wound Cube™ simulator with five new wound patterns. See and experience both products in the ADS, Inc. booth #20415.

Full details below:

Phokus Research Group is excited to launch two new products—a waterproof option for it’s behind the plate and pocket trauma kits, as well as the second-generation Wound Cube™ simulator with five new wound patterns.

For more than a decade, Phokus has manufactured innovative medical kits and wound simulation training devices. Through the use of their individual first aid systems (IFAS), Warfighters always have lifesaving medical gear on them, regardless of their uniform.

Users have been requesting a waterproof version so they can take it into any environment. Now, with the addition of the patented TRU Zip waterproof zipper, Phokus Research Group’s trauma kits are waterproof.

Both their behind the plate split kit and pocket kits are tested dustproof and waterproof to IP67, meaning they withstand immersion in water one meter deep for up to 30 minutes.

Engineered to be undetectable to the wearer, the Extreme bladder shares the benefits from previous Phokus product lines, including total protection from water, dust and sand. It also gives the user full accessibility to the inside compartments in order to update contents or replace expired ones, meaning Warfighters can keep one kit throughout their entire career.

Advanced Behind the Plate Trauma Kit includes shaped bladder design with dual patented TRU Zip waterproof zippers, two separate chambers and a middle seam which keeps all contents in place.

The Low Vis Pocket Trauma Kit was made to fit easily and securely in the small of the back, inside a Cargo pocket, or Cummerbund pocket.

Additionally, the release of the second-generation Wound Cube™ wound simulator offers users five new, realistic wound patterns in a semi-transparent silicone cube for wet or dry training. The original Wound Cube was designed to increase muscle memory for students learning how to master the basics of stopping the bleed without the mess. Read Eric Graves of Soldier Systems Daily’s review of the first-generation wound cube.

The Gen 2 Wound Cube’s five new wound patterns include:

• Deep Laceration
• Gouge
• Exit Wound
• Flat Wound
• Large Bore

The cube design provides more effective training in any classroom setting, including the ability for a flashlight to be inserted in a wound channel to allow illumination of the wound from the inside.
