Galvion Introduces E.D.G – a Headborne Power and Data Distribution and Management System
Thursday, January 18th, 2024Galvion, a world leader in power and data management solutions and innovative head protection systems, is introducing E.D.G™ (Energy Data Grid; pronounced “edge”), a modular and scalable power and data distribution and management system for headborne accessories. The introduction coincides with Shot Show 2024 taking place in Las Vegas, USA, 23-26 January 2024, where Galvion will be exhibiting E.D.G, alongside their other products, on Booth 32003.
Galvion’s E.D.G headborne system has been developed in response to the continuing and escalating power and data needs of the warfighter. Developed over multiple years, the scalable power solution was first introduced on Galvion’s PDxT™ helmet platform to meet the operational needs of the United States Marine Corps as a part of the Marine Corps Systems Command (MCSC) Integrated Helmet System (IHS) Other Transaction Agreement (OTA). Designed through an iterative development cycle, incorporating real-time feedback from USMC trials throughout the process, the E.D.G system represents a critical step in transitioning from a protective ‘helmet’ to an ‘integrated helmet system’ that enhances lethality and survivability. In response to similar operational needs across multiple global customers and end-users, the E.D.G system will be available for Galvion’s flagship Batlskin Caiman® head system, and when released for full production, the flexible and scalable power system can be retrofitted to a fielded helmet or delivered as a fully assembled helmet system.
The E.D.G system includes the Base Power Pack, powered by a single CR123 battery, and an attachable Extended Power Pack that accommodates a minimum of two and up to six AA batteries, boosting power availability and delivery when needed, but removeable to lighten the load when not.
The system also features a battery-powered strobe and VAS connection point, ready for emerging technologies like AR and VR. It features an independent task light and evolved rails with integrated cable management and storage. An innovative feature of this system is the state-of-charge indicators on the Extended Power Pack, also viewable in the NVG display, ensuring operators know how much power they have available at all times.
Todd Stirtzinger, CEO at Galvion, said: “We are heavily invested in preparing our military and tactical teams to meet the ever-evolving technology and equipment demands of the modern battlefield. We work with tier 1 customers every day and see the challenges coming with the proliferation of headborne accessories and capabilities. Managing their power and data needs is a critical part of that. The E.D.G system represents a united effort across Galvion’s power & data, industrial design, human performance, and head systems teams to develop a user-focused solution, and we’re excited to introduce this capability to our global customer base.” He added: “With more and more of our Caiman® helmets out in the field, this retrofittable power system represents an upgrade path for existing systems or is of course available on a fully kitted new head system. We’re also excited about the future opportunity to include E.D.G in our NSPA framework contract so our multiple NATO customers can more easily access this technology and capability”.

One-of-a-Kind Collaboration between Sons of Liberty and Frontline Healing Foundation to be Unveiled at 2024 SHOT Show
Wednesday, January 17th, 2024Bandera TX – January 17, 2024 – Jesse Warren, an armorer at Sons of Liberty Gun Works, and former Army Medic has a lot to be thankful for. This Warriors Heart Alumni is showing his appreciation to the organization who helped fund his service K9, by designing and building a one-of-a-kind Sons of Liberty / Frontline Healing Foundation M4 rifle.
Set to be featured in the Sons of Liberty booth (#31203) at the 2024 SHOT Show and auctioned as part of the renowned Crye Precision SHOT Show Auction, this custom M4-89 13.7″ rifle was personally designed to show Warren’s appreciation to the organizations who played a role in his recovery.
“I am incredibly fortunate to work for a company, in Sons, who not only blessed off on the build of this rifle, but who supported my recovery and time at Warriors Heart,” stated Warren. “When I went to the leadership team, and expressed my need for help, the response was more than I could have ever hoped for.”
Sons of Liberty not only gave Warren their support, but they also promised him that his bench would remain untouched while away. A promise kept, one that the company could have easily overlooked, due to the company’s high demand.
Chambered in 5.56mm NATO, the completely custom-built features the logos of Warriors Heart and Warriors Heart K9 – two organizations Warren acknowledges for aiding in his recovery and placement of his service dog.
Fashioned with a 1:7 twist barrel, with 6 grove rifling, bolt carrier group is a Carpenter 158 bolt, 8620 carrier. The Upper and Lower Receivers are a 7075-T6 Aluminum forging with a hard coat Type 3/Class II anodized finish.
The handguard is an M89 Drivelock rail, 6061 aluminum, steel barrel nut, with a continuous 1913 Picatinny rail at 12 o’clock. The ambidextrous Liberty Charging Handle features the Warriors Heart motto, “Strength Through Healing,” a reminder that we are never alone in our battles.
The Crye Precision auction began to give back to the organizations who provide treatment and care for the men and women who continue to put themselves into harm’s way, to ensure our safety and freedoms. The one-of-a-kind rifle will be among other donations from companies across the firearms and defense industries, with all proceeds raised, going directly to Frontline Healing Foundation, the largest donor towards individuals seeking treatment at Warriors Heart.
“This initiative is incredibly humbling to us,” stated Jordyn Jureczki, CEO of Frontline Healing Foundation. “We do everything we can to raise funds to subsidize the cost of treatment and care for our nations Warriors. This rifle is beautiful, and the heart behind its build is unparalleled.”
The Frontline Healing / Sons of Liberty M4 will be open for bids during the 2024 Crye Precision, held online during SHOT Show.

G-FORM Releases Crye Precision Military Protection on G-FORM.COM
Wednesday, January 17th, 2024PROVIDENCE, R.I., Jan. 17, 2024 — G-Form, the protective solutions technology brand, is proud to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of its collaboration with Crye Precision. To support this partnership, the G-Form x Crye Precision elbow and knee guards are now available and selling on G-Form.com and through military distributors.
“Through many visits with our warfighters around the country, we were able to identify a critical need throughout all military branches – specifically the lack of effective protection for knees and elbows,” said Glen Giovanucci, CEO of G-Form. “Our warriors should have the best blunt-force protective products available and through our partnership with Crye Precision, we are now able to deliver the incredible impact protection they deserve” added Giovanucci.
This collaboration is a combination of Crye Precision’s Impact Combat Knee shell bonded to G-Form’s knee and elbow guards which are manufactured in the USA. G-Form’s patented SmartFlex technology creates low profile, extremely light pads, that are machine washable, waterproof, with body mapping capabilities to enhance fit and allow articulation around the joints. These pads are soft and flexible, they harden on impact, then immediately return to their comfortable state. They exceed impact protection requirements of test standard EN14404 and are specifically tailored to integrate with all styles of Crye Combat Pants, Field Shirts and G4/G3 Combat Shirts.
“These incredible impact protection solutions were developed with, tested on and validated by the United States Marine Corps Special Operations Command and are now available for public consumption. The product has been designated with National Stock Numbers (NSN) and has been added to the Special Program for Embassy Augmentation Contract (SPEAR),” said Giovanucci.
Aimpoint Announces New Acro S-2 Shotgun Sight for SHOT Show and Industry Day at the Range
Wednesday, January 17th, 2024Manassas – January 17, 2024 – Aimpoint®, the originator and worldwide leader in red dot sighting technology, announces the release of the new Aimpoint® Acro S-2™ sight for SHOT Show 2024 and Industry Day at the Range™. Designed specifically for use on shotguns with a ventilated rib, the Acro S-2 greatly enhances hit percentage for small games, bird hunting and on the sporting clays course. The sight provides a compact, low-profile optic for shotgun hunters and sport shooters.
The integrated carbon fiber reinforced mounting system positions the Acro S-2™ on the lowest possible optical axis without adding unnecessary weight. The optic attaches directly to the ventilated rib and includes eight interchangeable adapter plates to accommodate most standard shotguns. The large 9 MOA red dot simplifies lead visualization, enhancing the automatic refinement of muzzle swing and positioning.
The Aimpoint® Acro S-2 is sleek with no protruding features, providing a clear field of view with both eyes open. The low optical axis of 15 mm allows for proper mounting of the gun to the cheek. For shooters who are cross-eye dominance, this new sight allows the shooter to use their strong side while shooting without an ocular or having to switch sides all together.
“Adding the Acro S-2™ sight to your shotgun provides invaluable feedback, as the red dot shows exactly where the bore is relative to the target. It makes a superb training tool for beginners, shortens the learning curve, and providing immediate success,” says Brian Lisankie, President of Aimpoint Inc.
