Friday, October 11th, 2024

SWANSBORO, NC – October 11th, 2024 – High Speed Gear® (HSG®), a top manufacturer of battle-proven tactical gear, announces the launch of its newest addition to the GEN 2 TACO® line up – the GEN 2 AR10 X2R TACO®. This pouch has been optimized to accommodate larger AR10 style magazines, meeting the demand for versatile magazine carriers in today’s evolving battlefield.

As modern militaries and tactical teams adopt larger caliber battle rifles, the GEN 2 AR10 X2R TACO® is engineered to meet the growing need for gear that can securely hold and quickly deploy large-bodied magazines. Built upon the foundation of the original X2R TACO®, this version features several key updates to accommodate the larger magazine platforms while maintaining the superior retention and durability that HSG® is known for.

Key Features of the GEN 2 AR10 X2R TACO®:

• Designed for AR10 Style Magazines: Engineered with a larger fabric bracket and small geometry tweaks to ensure a perfect fit for large-bodied magazines.

• Enhanced Retention: Delivers the same versatile retention as the original X2R TACO®, ensuring magazines are held securely in place.

• Lightweight Design: Constructed from laser-cut nylon laminate and woven thermoplastic, making it up to 20% lighter than the original TACO® pouch (varies by SKU).

• Streamlined Profile: Features updated molded sides that are more compact, with channels designed to manage shock cord tails more efficiently.

• Modular Mounting System: Equipped with ½ inch MOLLE, it can be mounted on both MOLLE platforms and belts and includes two HSG clips for convenience.

• Retention Options: Compatible with multiple over-the-top retention options for additional security.

• Berry Compliant: Proudly made in the USA and Berry Compliant, ensuring the highest quality and adherence to military standards.

“The greater adoption of larger caliber weapon systems means our gear needs to adapt,” said Adam Garrison, Director of Government Business Development at High Speed Gear Products Group. “The GEN 2 AR10 X2R TACO provides a solution for operators who need reliability, durability, and quick access in the field, no matter the magazine size. We’re proud to provide a product that meets the needs of our customers and is ready to perform in any environment.”

As with all HSG® products, the GEN 2 AR10 X2R TACO® is built with durability, functionality, and the end-user in mind. Whether on the battlefield or in training, this pouch ensures warfighters have the gear they can trust when it matters most.

Galvion Receives Further US DoD Orders for Their MAX-8 Mission Adaptive Charging Station and Squad Power Manager (SPM)

Thursday, October 10th, 2024

Galvion, a world leader in the design and manufacture of integrated power and data management solutions and innovative head protection systems, has announced the receipt of further orders from US DoD for their MAX-8 Mission Adaptive Charging Station™ and Squad Power Manager™ (SPM).

Galvion’s Nerv Centr® power management solutions have been selected as a part of a System Modernization Program (SMP) for the Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense (JPEO-CBRND) Dismounted Reconnaissance Sets, Kits, and Outfits (DRSKO) Program of Record. This announcement coincides with the AUSA event taking place in Washington DC, 14-16 October 2024, where Galvion is exhibiting at booth 733.

The customized power management solutions include the widely fielded Squad Power Manager™ (SPM) and Mission Adaptive Charging Station™ (MAX-8). Initial orders for 124 combined SPM and MAX-8 systems have been received to support the National Guard and Army DRSKO requirements following the successful completion of their user evaluation trials in late 2023. Deliveries of these systems will begin in late 2024. Additional orders are expected to support the specific CBRND DRSKO requirements of other United States Department of Defense (US DoD) branches of service (Air Force and Marines) when subsequent fiscal year funding is released, and service specific power management requirements are validated.

The Galvion Nerv Centr® SPM™ kit provides a lightweight and compact multifunctional system to enable the harvesting and management of energy from multiple sources. Using a customized selection of intelligent cables, the system provides the ability to scavenge, distribute, and manage power from multiple power sources (solar, AC, DC, military batteries, NATO plugs, and vehicle) and convert that power into a usable format for powering devices, peripheral equipment, and recharging batteries. Galvion’s Nerv Centr® MAX-8™ is a portable charging solution built to withstand the harsh conditions of expeditionary operations. With the ability to draw power from multiple sources, including AC, solar and vehicle, the MAX-8 battery adapters offer the ability to charge different types of batteries simultaneously, with no setting changes needed. The SPM and the MAX-8 feature intelligent functionality, including prioritization of needs, topping off the fullest battery first, automatic evaluation of power source and adjustment of charge rates to maximize power and minimize charge time.

Todd Stirtzinger, CEO at Galvion, said: “We’re very proud to be supplying CBRND warfighters with customized solutions that will improve the power management efficiency of their DRSKO kits. Our systems are deployed across multiple US units and organizations to enhance the overall capability that helps to protect the warfighter and the nation.” He added: “Our priority at Galvion is to deliver operational efficiencies and effectiveness for our users. These power management solutions simplify logistics by reducing battery burden and resupply requirements while ensuring that all mission-critical equipment is powered and ready to go in even the most austere environments.

Faster charging means less burden while out in the field, allowing teams to do more with less, an that is what drives everything that we do here at Galvion.”
