Wednesday, August 6th, 2025

Perkasie, PA – Law Tactical is pleased to introduce the A.R.S. MOD LAW, a collaboration product between LAW Tactical and ARID Mfg, the ultimate sling designed for durability, convenience, performance, and safety.

“When we set out to build the Mod LAW, the goal was simple: create a sling that actually solves problems — not just check a box on a product list. We designed this for the guy who won’t get a second try — where gear either works or it’s in the way.

We took our patent pending self-stowing system and implemented it for a folding stock setup that stays out of your way until the moment you need it. The high-impact polymer buckle is tested to release cleanly at 300 ft lbs for snag hazards and emergency egress or casualty care. Every material is Berry and IR compliant — tailored for professionals and hobbyists alike that demand the best.

This sling reflects what I believe gear should be: built with purpose, field-proven, and ready when everything else goes sideways.”

Chris Peters
CEO & Founder, ARID Manufacturing LLC

Made in the USA, it meets the toughest demands of professionals and enthusiasts with features like:

• All Metal Hardware of the A.R.S. Mod 1 plus easy On/Off Buckle: 300 lb load-rated buckle allows quick detachment under load while preventing snags.

• Berry Compliant: All components sourced and manufacturing is done in the U.S.

• NIR/IR Compliant: Reduces night vision and infrared light signature.

• Self-Stowing Design: The Patent Pending Arid Retention System (A.R.S.) eliminates the need for extra hardware, simplifying your gear.

• Adjustment from the slider is smooth and positive, keeping the sling’s adjustment secure.

• Engineered to remain compact and durable. The A.R.S. Mod LAW delivers innovation and reliability.

Electronic Warfare and Drones: Why Unmanned Platforms Need AI Capabilities

Tuesday, August 5th, 2025

A recent Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) in Alaska tested low-cost attack drones under heavy EW (Electronic Warfare) environment. UAS prototypes struggled with one crash after losing signal, and the other missed its target and caught fire. These challenges highlight the growing complexity of deploying unmanned systems in contested, EW environments, especially when GPS and Comms are jammed.

At OKSI, they have the battlefield solution: OMNISCIENCE AI and Computer Vision application suite.

Their capabilities directly address these pain points by enabling autonomous situational awareness, resilient navigation, and onboard decision-making in real time. Unlike traditional systems that rely heavily on external data or remote control, OMNISCIENCE equips drones with the ability to sense, interpret and act independently—fusing multi-modal sensor data (EO/IR, radar, RF) to locate, identify, and track targets without relying on GPS or comms. This capability is not just valuable, it’s mission-critical in environments where EW dominates and traditional systems falter.

As the U.S. pushes to field low-cost, scalable UAS platforms under programs like Project Artemis, integrating intelligence via autonomy is no longer optional. The failures seen in the field trials highlight the limits of hardware alone. Drones require robust, adaptive software that can operate under extreme signal denial and ambiguity. OMNISCIENCE fills this gap, offering edge-based AI/ML processing that provides actionable targeting solutions. In essence, OMNISCIENCE transforms drones from remotely guided tools into self-reliant warfighters, drastically improving lethality, survivability, and operational flexibility in next-gen conflicts.

Despite setbacks, DIU values these tests for gathering data on performance in contested environments.

If you’re developing UAS platforms without full autonomy at the core, you’re not equipped for modern-day and future warfare. OMNISCIENCE is designed for rapid turnaround, through full system integration or bolt-on hardware and is ready to meet and overcome the evolving threats of EW across the globe.

FirstSpear Friday Focus: Vertical Entry Belt

Friday, August 1st, 2025

The Vertical Entry Belt is a high-performance battle belt designed for elite users who require tactical versatility and vertical entry capability. Engineered to meet the SOCOM Retention Standard and modified NFPA testing, this belt is built for demanding, high-angle environments.

It features a quickly removable 6/12 Modular Over-Flap, allowing the user to scale loadouts as needed with full compatibility for 6/12, 6/9, and MOLLE-style pouches. The minimalist design keeps bulk and weight to a minimum, enabling greater freedom of movement and reduced fatigue in the field.

Despite its lean profile, the belt offers exceptional modularity and tactical readiness.

The unpadded construction allows it to be worn over a Base Belt Lite, utilizing exposed hook material to secure the system without the need for suspenders. This enhances its adaptability while maintaining a sleek, low-profile silhouette. Whether worn alone or in conjunction with the 6/12 Over-Flap, the system remains streamlined and mission-capable.

Its integration with the Vertical Entry Harness (restricted) transforms it into a full-spectrum fighting system for vertical access, urban climbing, or high-angle assault missions. Designed with input from professional users, it bridges the gap between load carriage and climbing systems. Every element of the belt is built with intentionality—optimized for users who demand peak performance in the harshest environments. Made to work seamlessly across platforms and kit configurations, it provides an efficient and dependable solution for tactical professionals.
