Knoxville, TN — Qore Performance, Inc., the inventor of weaponized thermoregulation and hydration technology for military, law enforcement, prepared citizens, safety professionals and athletes, is thrilled to announce the launch of the IMS VERSA. Designed to meet the cooling, heating and hydration needs of modern armed professionals operating in ever hotter and more austere environments, IMS VERSA brings seamless internal, universal carry of ICEPLATE® Curve to MOLLE plate carriers everywhere for the first time.

IMS VERSA is a sleeve designed specifically for ICEPLATE® Curve, an innovative cooling system widely recognized for its durability and effectiveness in preventing heat injuries with existing hydration stores.

IMS VERSA, the newest addition to the IMS Collection, takes plate carrier performance to the next level, enhancing survivability and environmental innoculation for anyone wearing a military-style plate carrier equipped with MOLLE.

Key features of IMS VERSA include:

1. Universal: IMS VERSA is specifically engineered to integrate ICEPLATE® Curve seamlessly with any MOLLE-equipped plate carrier using unique laser-cut side slits and straps, providing tactical professionals with a flexible cooling/heating/hydration solution that fits effortlessly under their existing MOLLE-equipped plate carriers.

2. Advanced Thermoregulation: IMS VERSA utilizes Qore Performance’s patented ICEPLATE® Curve technology, allowing users to enjoy the full range of thermoregulation + hydration benefits 50 ounces of hydration can provide while simultaneously controlling core body temperature with up to 70 watts of cooling power or 52 watts of heating power. This cutting-edge system ensures optimal performance and endurance, even in the most demanding environments.

3. Durable and Lightweight: Crafted from ultra-premium US materials such as Velcro® brand hook and loop as well as our proprietary ICEPLATE EXO® Laminate technology, IMS VERSA is built to withstand rigorous use. Despite its robust construction, it remains remarkably lightweight, ensuring minimal additional burden on the wearer.

4. Enhanced Comfort and Ergonomics: Designed with user comfort in mind, IMS VERSA offers an ergonomic fit that allows for unhindered movement, particularly in confined spaces like vehicles where sitting flat is now easily accomplished compared to traditional legacy bladders. Its streamlined profile ensures optimal wearer comfort during extended periods of use.

“We are thrilled to introduce IMS VERSA to the market because it is such an elegant solution to a long-standing problem,” said Justin Li, Qore Performance Co-Founder and CEO. “Our team is obsessed with empowering high performance individuals with the tools that boost performance and survivability in the field.”

SOF Week 23 – Roam Robotics

Tuesday, May 16th, 2023

Roam Robotics exhibited Forge, a pneumatically powered exoskeleton in the Darley Defense booth.

Forge has been under evaluation by the US Air Force where it’s shown to double the endurance and stregth of the wearer as well as reduce experienced g-forces by 50%. This last factor is particularly important when jumping down from heights. It preserves the natural range of motion and generates torque by forcing air through lightweight actuators at the knee to introduce torque. The brace provides stability and support to the knee.

During a recent evaluation at Wright-Patterson AFV, two C-17 Loadmasters were able to move a pallet that weighed about 3,500 pounds by themsleves, a load which normally takes four Airmen.

The modular power pack generates pressurized air for the system and can be controlled on the fly.

SOF Week 23 – Crye Precision G4 Aviation Uniforms

Monday, May 15th, 2023

Although Crye Precision‘s new G4 Aviation Uniforms were unveiled during SHOT Show, they’ve been working on them for awhile. In fact, they’ve already started delivering them to the SOF aviation unit they developed them for. Like with all things Crye, once other units saw them, they had to have them as well meaning these are becoming quite popular.

Since the uniform is intended to be worn for flight duties, it’s made from the same FR Commando Twill used in the FR G4 uniforms.

While outwardly looking like the G4 uniforms they are based on, you’ll find some aviation unique features like dual entry shoulder pockets, center front zipper and loop placement to accommodate ID. The pants also have a double seat, oversized patch pocket on the calf, zipper pulls, vertical zippered entry on thigh pockets, and a multi-tool pocket.

The G4 Aviation Uniform is offered in both Combat and Field cuts in male and female fits, in MultiCam, Black, and Ranger Green.

First Look – Aimpoint FCS14

Friday, May 12th, 2023

Aimpoint unveiled the latest iteration of their Fire Control System line of sights for use with crew served weapons at SOF Week in Tampa, Florida.

The FCS14 Dynamic Universal Reflex Sight (DURS) is designed to be used on multiple weapon platforms such as M240, M2, Mk19 and even M3 Carl Gustav as well as future systems.

FCS14 is a Direct View Optic which and incorporates a laser range finder and can be used in concert with helmet mounted Image Intensification (I2) night vision systems for low light work. However, you may notice something new on the FCS14 not seen on previous models and that is the Dual Sensor Attachment mounted to the top which is a thermal and CMOS day camera unit. The DSA is powered by FCS14. The DSA offers optical zoom and ranging and firing reticles based on the system’s ballistic calculations. This firing solution compensates for speed, tilt, terrain angle, target range, atmospheric pressure / temperature, and propellant temperature.

SOF Week 23 – Ghost Robotics Vision QUGV-60 Complex Terrain Demo

Thursday, May 11th, 2023

I’ve heard a lot of questions about the ability of the Ghost Robotics Quadruped Unmanned Ground Vehicle (Vision 60) to negotiate complex terrain like stairs. I asked the operator at SOF Week to give me a short demo of its capability.

The operator simply gave it a direction command and the Vision-60 analyzed the path with visual and force feedback cues.
