Warrior West just kicked off at San Diego’s PetCo Park and this is what I’m seeing. How is that for signage?
I’ve been to a lot of tradeshows and I can say this is truly a unique experience. I’ve never attended a tradeshow at a ball park. Turns out, PetCo Park has never hosted a tradeshow either.
It’s great to be back out here attending shows and seeing both vendors and customers. If you’re in the area, you should be here. There are way more vendors at this show than I can cover and some offer products outside the purview of this site.
One of the Warrior Expo’s premier sponsors is Atlantic Diving Supply. In case you miss this one, there will be an even bigger version in their hometown of Virginia Beach at the end of July. But even if you’re not here, be sure to keep up with our coverage over the next few days.
Sometimes, all you need is just a watch. As we move into the great power competition, troops are concerned about their electronic signature and the CORE Alpha Stealth was built with this in mind. It doesn’t transmit any signals and it doesn’t collect information about where you’ve been. It’s just an ABC watch with core Altitude, Barometric pressure and Compass features.
In fact, the CORE Alpha Stealth was designed based on this request from an end user:
“I need a rugged ABC watch that is mission ready and ready for navigation at night. The watch should be robust, Night Vision Goggle compatible, and powered by a replaceable battery. It must be able to operate with no internet, BT, or geo- positioning support”
It retains all of the features of the popular CORE:
• Altimeter, Barometer, Compass
• Storm alarm
• Depth meter
• Sunrise/sunset times
• Dual time
• User replaceable battery – 1 year battery life, no charging
The CORE Alpha Stealth model adds these features:
• Red backlight / Night Vision goggle friendly
• Florescent Indicators on the bezel for nighttime navigation
It is made in Finland and tested to military standards (MIL-STD-810). Although, the CORE Alpha Stealth’s nylon NATO-Style strap is Berry compliant.
I have been wearing one for a couple of weeks now and I really like the watch’s functionality. However, a bit of a warning; when you first take it out of the box, the buttons beep when depressed. Be sure to switch this option off. Instructions are in the manual and it’s the second step during initial set up so you shouldn’t miss it.
There’s a also button lock feature which can come in really handy in preventing unwanted changes to functions when you’re doing a lot with your hands.
See the new CORE Alpha Stealth today at the Warrior West Expo in San Diego, California.
Suunto products are available for unit and agency sales through ADS.
The new Suunto CORE Alpha Stealth is also available from Tactical Distributors and US Elite.
The Suunto CORE Alpha Stealth is subjected to this MIL-STD-810 Testing:
Test Method 500.6 Low Pressure (Altitude)
Test Method 501.7 High Temperature, operational Test Method 502.7 Low Temperature, operational Test Method 503.7 Temperature Shock
Test Method 507.6 Humidity

Warrior West is next week, June 30th – July 1st at PetCo Field, which is in the Gaslamp District of San Diego, CA.
It’s a great opportunity to see the latest gear and pick up some training.
First up is the Functional Movement Technique (FMT) Tactical Athlete Medic Certification Course followed by Stop The Bleed training.
In addition to medical training there is also seminars on Relocatable Structures, Cold Weather Clothing Systems and Streamlining Procurement.
The annual Warrior Bash is also planned where you can kick back and relax and catch up old friends as well as make some new contacts.
There’s still time to register for this in-person event.
Although California is essentially open for business, Atlantic Diving Supply is adhering to any CDC and local guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Warrior West is not open to the general public.
These days it’s quite common to drop a pre-fabricated building, configured as a Secure Compartmented Information Facility into a deployed location, rather than setting up a tent which is vulnerable to a wide variety of hazards, both environmental and man-made.
