Tuesday, June 27th, 2023Blue Force Gear Exhibiting at Modern Day Marine
Tuesday, June 27th, 2023
Blue Force Gear will exhibit at Modern Day Marine on June 27–29 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC. Reps will be on hand to talk about Blue Force Gear products, including the latest in our line of duty belts: the GRID™ Belt and the CHLK™ Belt.
The GRID Belt and the CHLK Belt are each suited to different duty applications. Both models are based on the two-belt inner/outer belt system and feature laser-cut MOLLEminus slots for attaching holsters and other gear.
The GRID Belt is an excellent duty belt for most military, police, and law enforcement personnel. It is also an ideal choice for sports shooters, prepared citizens, or anyone looking for a “war belt” who doesn’t need a belt with load-rated capabilities.
The CHLK Belt builds on the features of the GRID Belt, adding highly specific capabilities, including a load-rated buckle, proprietary Dyneema®-nylon hybrid webbing, and two external tether attachment points. The CHLK Belt is purpose-built to allow commandos to snap securely into helicopters while performing INFIL/EXFIL and during time of flight.
Stop by Booth #713 to meet the team and check out the GRID and CHLK belts, Vickers Combat Application Slings, BFG trauma kits, and other innovative products from Blue Force Gear.

Warrior East 23 – Mustang Survival x HSI
Monday, June 26th, 2023Another technology exhibited during the ADS Maritime Demo Day is the TacHeat System developed by Human Systems Integration and integrated into dry suits by Mustang Survival. The technology stems from a SBIR program for heated gloves and relies on electrically heated coils which are embedded in the fabric.
Currently, there is a next to skin top and bottom, glove liner and insole.
Here you can see how the power cable interfaces with the next-to-skin layer.
This cable is used to pass the power cable through the drysuit.
There are currently two control boxes, with ine having a smaller form factor but less control.
The wearer can choose which components he wants to use. For example, all of the components, or just gloves and insoles for say aircraft door gunners.

Warrior East 23 – SEA DOO Watercraft
Monday, June 26th, 2023On Friday, the day after Warrior East, ADS hosted a maritime Demo Day which showcased several technologies including this SEA DOO 170 Explorer Pro personal watercraft.
The SEA DOO 170 Explorer Pro is new this year from Bombardier Recreational Products and offers space for up to three and comes equipped with a rear deck which is great for rescues. ADS works with Alpha Logistics Group to add customization like this RP Advanced Mobile Systems inflatable bumper to allow the operator to get right next to decks and other watercraft.
I didn’t even realize ADS offered watercraft aside from Combat Rubber Raiding Craft and outboard engines. Apparently, they’re offered through the MRO (Maintenace, Repair, and Operations) team and generally executed through the FES (Fire and Emergency Serrvices) TLS (Tailored Logistic Support) contract.

Navy Fields New Protective Headgear for Marine Corps Aviation Maintainers
Monday, June 26th, 2023Three things about this new helmet for maintainers which replaces the classic Cranial.
1. It’s built by Team Wendy and based on the Exfil bump helmet.
2. This is one of the rare occasions where Marines get something first.
3. They are coming in custom colors for each of the aviation specialties, for example Red for Aviation Ordnance.
The Naval Aircrew Systems Program Office is fielding new headgear, the Head Gear Unit Number 98/Personal Use (HGU-98/P), that improves both head and hearing protection for fleet Marine Corps aviation maintainers.
The program office incorporated the latest advancements and information gained from market research, lab testing and fleet assessments to select the new Marine Corps maintenance cranial, the Team Wendy Exfil Light Tactical Polymer helmet, which is a Commercial-off-the-Shelf solution.
“The HGU-98/P provides improved impact protection and increased hearing protection, which are long overdue improvements that our maintainers deserve,” said Capt. Carey Castelein, program manager.
Since the inception of protective headgear in the 1950s, a major challenge has been to design helmets that offer the required impact and hearing protection while providing a system that provides a comfortable fit. Because flight lines and flight decks are notoriously loud, a safe and comfortable helmet is mission critical.
The new cranial comes in two sizes and an alternate H-shaped back retention system to accommodate a hair bun. The HGU-98/P also features two different styles of hearing protection, both rail mounted to the helmet, with either X4 ear cups for a slimmer fit or X5 with larger ear cups but with better sound attenuation.
“Through research, test and fleet assessments, our team was able to determine the best possible solution for improved head and hearing protection, taking into account cost, performance and user feedback,” said Jennifer Bartnick, program office team lead.
Squadrons that began receiving the HGU-98/P flight deck helmet system in October 2022 have given favorable feedback. Fielding to Marine Corps aviation units will continue through the end of the year, and the cranial with additional capability will begin delivery next year.
