Warrior Expo – Belleville / Tactical Research

Thursday, March 6th, 2014

Belleville recently added a new boot to their Tactical Research line called the MINI-Mil Transition boot.

Last year, Tactical Research unveiled the MINI-Mil boot, inspired by popular minimalist running shoes. It only features a 2mm heel to to drop making it a very flat boot. FR folks who aren’t used to barefoot running, this was a bit too much so TR came up with this new model. The MINI-Mil Transition offers a 6mm heel to toe drop which feels more “natural” for those wearing traditional combat boots. It remains a lightweight boot at 15.5 oz per pair. However, whereas the MINI-Mil features an unlined upper, the Transition model incorporates Aero-Spacer breathable, hydrophilic mesh lining. Additionally, this 8″ high boot is AR 670-1 compliant. Offered in Tan and Coyote, full sizes 6-14 (R&W) and half-sizes 6.5-11.5 (R&W).

Warrior Expo – ExplosiveOps Gear

Thursday, March 6th, 2014

EOG offers a family of Titanium Entry Tools. Manufactured from Grade 5 Titanium, they are offered in two different shapes and two different lengths. We’ve mentioned the Viper Tool (seen in this photo) in the past with its crowbar-like appearance, but the TET is a different product.

The shorter version is 15″ and most often used by Assaulters. It is narrow enough to be carried threaded into MOLLE webbing. They also offer a PALS compatible pouch. There are also 19″ and 21″ models of the TET.

As you know, Titanium is a great material for these bars as it is both strong and lightweight. Additionally, Ti is non-magnetic.

Warrior Expo – MATBOCK

Wednesday, March 5th, 2014

After a long wait, I understand that the Rigid Lightweight Integrated Field Transport (R-LIFT) will finally be available for order. Weighing in at 6.5 lbs, it breaks down for storage making it a great option for a small unit rigid litter.

Warrior Expo – Lighter Than Air Systems

Wednesday, March 5th, 2014

Imagine having your own aerostat. That’s exactly what LTAS offers. It can support not only EO/IR sensor pods but also communications relay.

Additionally, they offer a mast mounted ISR system as well as a unique tethered rotary wing unmanned aircraft system. Available in two models the Electric Tethered Aerial Platform and Liquid Tethered Aerial Platform are both tethered for fuel as well as data via the umbilical. That’s right, the launcher pumps either electricity or a combination of fuel and air to the UAS so it can stay aloft indefinitely. It can also stay aloft while the trailer mounted launcher is moving so it can be integrated into a convoy for overmatch and comms relay.
