Developed specifically for Law Enforcement duties, the new R1 Lawman flashlight from SureFire is rechargeable yet boasts 750 lumens. It also incorporates both tactical tailcap as well as head switches to increase its versatility.
It features three setting with run times varying –
High 750 lumens / 1.75 hours
Med 150 lumens / 5.25 hours
Low 15 lumens / 37 hours
The light also is user programmable to add a strobe effect used to disorient threats. In addition to the rechargeable Lithium Ion cells, the R1 will also accept standard CR123As but this will drop max output by about 33%.
The SureFire R1 Lawman Flashlight is available for agency or unit orders from www.ADSinc.com/SureFire.
The Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station or CROWS has done a lot to protect our troops from exposure to enemy fire during mounted operations. It allows a system operator to use a electro-optical/IR system to observe outside the vehicle and engage targets with an integrated weapon from as small as the M249 SAW or M240 GPMG up to a Mk19 40mm GL or .50 M2 HMG. The Army realized that these are lethal options and wanted to leverage the successes of non-lethal technologies used in the Traffic Control Point kit such as the BE Meyers GLARE.
The result is the Escalation of Force Kit Integration for the CROWS System. ADS provides these kits which integrate green laser technology from B.E. Meyers GLARE MOUT Plus lasers. The lasers emit an intense band of green light, disrupting a person’s vision and ability to drive a vehicle or aim a weapon. In addition to the lasers, CROWS II EOF Kits incorporate high-powered lighting from Surefire (Hellfighter), PeakBeam (MaxaBeam), or Xenonics (NightHunter), as a secondary means of visual warning. Naturally, a light with that much power pulls double duty as an aid in targeting and identification. Interestingly, the kits also feature the LRAD 300X. LRAD systems were recently chosen for use at the London Olympics for their ability to discourage unruly crowds. For TCP use, the LRAD also offers the ability to provide audible warning and hailing at distances of over 1,000M.
In concert with Kwikpoint, makers of waterproof basic language guides currently in use in theater, ADS is offering a pocket users guide describing PCU components, environmental conditions and a wheel to help the user correlate components with conditions. Although the aide memoire depicts the Block 1 version of PCU the garments of Block 2 are quite similar and function in the same way. In fact, it is a must for users of any multi-component environmental clothing system.
This was one of our favorite items from Warrior West. Their Full Spectrum 1 system was designed by this Service Disabled, Veteran owned family business as a replacement for the issue shelter half and mosquito net. It’s designed specifically to set up on a cot and features a slightly larger footprint than the GI cot so that it will drape over the sides and stay in place. It makes a great, free standing mosquito net. As a shelter, it integrates a fly offered in several colors and incorporates an oversized vestibule to protect your equipment.
The new MRZR from Polaris Defense is available in both 2 and 4-seat models along with optional rearward facing seats in the rear cargo area. Additionally, the MRZR 4 can accommodate 1 or 2 litters longitudinally in place of cargo or seats.
Powered by a 88 hp 875 cc Polaris Prostar engine it incorporates a keyless ignition. It’s a full height (60”) vehicle but has a tool-less collapsing roll-cage to fit into the CV-22’s cabin. And with a 60″ width, the RZR maintains a low CG so you won’t have to worry about rolling over while negotiating a turn. For off-road performance, Polaris provides electronic power steering as well as a winch to get you out of a jam. To top off its tactical accessories it includes blackout drive lights and is IR capable.
The Polaris MRZR 2 & 4 are available for unit and agency orders from ADSinc.com.
