Register now for Warrior Expo West, April 23-24, 2014 at the San Diego Convention Center.
Warrior Expo is the premiere industry event that brings end users, program managers, and procurement specialists together with industry-leading manufacturers in an environment designed specifically for government and defense organizations. Attendees can also take advantage of demonstrations and educational breakout sessions addressing safety, survivability, communications, energy efficiency, acquisition, and much more.
I go to a lot of industry events and the Warrior Expos are very focused on bringing customer and vendor together. If you can make it, I highly recommend it.
32 North has introduced new versions of their popular STABILicers that fit Vapor Barrier (VB or Bunny) Boots, Mukluks and issue combat boots, including cold weather models. These are critical for areas with ice, helping you stay on your feet.
These new models are available for unit and agency purchase exclusively through ADS.
Kopis Mobile will be conducting demos of NTtv, DetectSmart (turns any metal detector into a smart detector like their existing TacEx) as well as a through-scope video sharing system that sends video streams to smartphones and tablets.
Demos will be held at SHOT Show in the ADS booth Tues and Wed at 0930, 1100 and 1500.
Innovative Tactical Training Solutions, builders of the H60 Casevac simulator have introduced a new Little Bird Extrication Scenario Trainer. It is a portable and reusable MH-6 size helo cabin for multi-purpose extrication exercises. I also see where it could be used for static load training if planks are installed. The model seen here does not include planks.
The trainer is designed to be used with the ITTS TOMManikin and Android based Sensory Control Unit. The front compartment can be used as a trap for the TOMManikin and features extractable doors. The SCU can be used to control noise and a fog unit to introduce a little chaos into the scenario. Additionally, ITTS has integrated a remote camera into the design to allow evaluators access to the action. An on-board generator allows for use in remote locations and facilitates quick scenario reset.
ITTS products are available for unit and agency purchase from ADS Inc
ADS Inc. and US4CES designer Guy Cramer, have decided to use Hyperstealth’s print on demand process developed by Cramer, President/CEO of Hyperstealth to release 45 new US4CES patterns in two new series: 15 US4CES Bravo Series patterns and 30 US4CES Charlie Series patterns to the commercial market and for printed camouflage trial material to foreign countries outside of the U.S. looking for a new advanced camouflage uniform.
The Alpha variants of US4CES are finalists in the still unresolved US Army Camouflage Improvement Effort and are not yet available for sale. However, with any of these patterns, you get the same technology improvements offered to the Army but in different colorways. Another difference between Alpha and Bravo, is in the color layering, reversing the order of lightest to darkest colors (the patterns are identical other than the color order). Additionally, none of these are NIR compliant.
BRAVO
The Delta variants were also developed for the US Army and in internal testing Cramer found that they performed better. The Charlie variants have been released for sale commercially. The difference between US4CES Delta and Charlie is in the color layering, reversing the order of lightest to darkest colors.
CHARLIE
70/30 Poly/Cotton Lightweight fabric is now available for order in 5 yd increments. So everybody that has been chomping at the bit to get their hands on the US4CES patterns, this is your chance.
Congratulations to ADS for being recognized as a Top 100 Military Friendly Employer.
Victory Media, publisher of G.I. Jobs and Military Spouse, recently recognized ADS, Inc. as a Top 100 Military Friendly Employer for 2014. The ranks are based on criteria including long-term commitment to military hiring and training and include many of the country’s most respected companies.
Featuring a special WL Gore shelter fabric, this 1-man NEMO Shield shelter is Berry Compliant, lightweight, linkable, four-season, freestanding, waterproof, breathable, flame retardant and incorporates signature management properties.
In addition to visual opacity (blackout) and near infrared (nIR) reflection characteristics, the shelter can be used in conjunction with NEMO’s Interchangeable Camo Cover™ for adaptable visual camouflage. Available in arctic white and MultiCam®, the ICC™ is lightweight, compact, and provides a highly cost effective solution for adapting the ALCS 1P SE to different areas of operation. The ICC also serves to shade the ALCS 1P SE and protect it from UV and abrasion.
The ALCS 1P SE features a hub-based pole set for ease of set-up. For those of you unfamiliar with the concept, that means one set of poles, all connected at a central hub, making for a simple pitch of the tent. Additionally, it accepts a vestibule to increase storage or can incorporate a link that connects multiple tents.
