The DesignateIR-V Three Beam Laser Green Visible / Infrared Laser / VCSEL IR Illuminator from US Night Vision by 3EIR

Thursday, July 11th, 2024

Made in the USA, the Designate IR-V laser is the smallest and lightest, three beam, tactical rifle laser available today. Built from synthetic nylon, this laser is designed to withstand recoil and will perform in all weather conditions. The Designate IR-V’s set-it, forget-it zero allows the user to zero the visible laser once. Then, both laser sights are precisely co-witnessed for accuracy. The laser’s small footprint lies below the weapons line of sight and allows the user to effortlessly switch to iron sights. The user controls have been carefully engineered for minimal drag, reliability, and ease of use. The newly added illuminator utilizes VCSEL technology providing illumination with exceptional distance and beam quality. Comparable products cost well over $3000.00. The Designate IR-V offers the end user options that they can afford. Simple user controls and a small footprint are just a few of the reasons to own one. Best of all, US Night Vision has introduced this new laser at an extremely competitive price point. The included CQB Filter diffuses the beam and provides perfect illumination for close up / indoor work where long-range illumination is not needed.

Ease of use and compatibility are some of the main driving forces behind the DesignateIR-V™ to include operation and aftermarket accessories.

• 4 Output modes, Green Pointer (Vis), IR Pointer, IR Pointer & VCSEL Illuminator, VCSEL Illuminator

• Centralized Arisaka Fire Button & Crane Remote Jack Port

• CQB Filter to switch between Spot & Flood on the VCSEL Illuminator

MATBOCK Monday: Most Versatile Drag Sled on the Market

Monday, July 8th, 2024

No other sled comes close to the versatility, reduction on weight and bulk. The Cobra Sled is easily the most advanced draggable & hoist able sled on the market. Everything was meticulously engineered with precision from current and former PJs and 18Ds.

The first part of this video covers how to create the loops at the front so 2 operators can drag a patient hands-free. The 2nd part of the video covers how to make a sit harness with integrated straps to support a vertical hoist operations.

The Cobra Sled’s hoist straps are made from 5,500 lbs tensile strength Kevlar webbing with Kevlar stitching. An integrated chest harness directly attaches to both the horizontal and vertical hoist straps. There are four front drag straps that create 2 x 10 ft loops for operators to sling and drag forward in a hands-free configuration, as well as stabilizing straps in the back for uneven terrain.

NSN: 3920-01-694-6803

Patent No. 11,207,226

SIG SAUER – ROMEO-X Enclosed Series Red Dot Sights

Saturday, July 6th, 2024

Ever since SIG announced the ROMEO-M17 optic for the Modular Handgun System, customers have been asking for a version to fit their P320 pistols. During the recent SIG NEXT event in New Hampshire, they announced the ROMEO-X Enclosed series of red dot sights.

“The ROMEO-X Enclosed leverages our expertise as the industry leader in combining the durable optic technologies that are trusted by the U.S. military and armed forces around the world with a new standard in strength and reliability for the ultimate compact red dot,” said Andy York, President, SIG SAUER Electro-Optics.  “The ROMEO-X Enclosed has a fully enclosed, sealed, argon purged optical system, so it won’t fog, and has a low deck height so it easily co-witnesses with your standard-height iron sights.  This feature-rich red dot is inspired by the mil-spec ROMEO-M17 that delivers dependability without compromise, trusted by the military, and is the total solution for the most demanding shooters and circumstances.”

They is available in a compact version (ROMEO-X Enclosed COMPACT), to fit micro-compact pistols such as the P365, and a PRO version (ROMEO-X Enclosed PRO), to fit full-size pistols such as the P320.  It is also offered with three different reticles, a 3 MOA Dot, Circle Dot, and 6 MOA Dot.

You’ll note the low deck height for standard-height iron sight co-witness. Also, expect a minimum continuous runtime of 20,000 hours at medium brightness setting. This is partially thanks to their MOTAC™ (Motion Activated Illumination) and MAGNETAC™ (Magnetic Activation) technologies. 

According to SIG, the ROMEO-X Enclosed features a distortion-free aspheric glass lens, a patent-pending Beryllium Copper flexure-arm adjustment system, and a 7075 aircraft-grade aluminum housing with machined anti-reflection grooves on shooter facing surfaces.  The ROMEO-X Enclosed Series optics incorporate a high-efficiency point source red LED emitter available in either 3 MOA or 6 MOA dot, and also an available circle dot reticle, side independent brightness adjustment buttons, 15 brightness settings including night vision settings, and a side-mounted CR1632 battery compartment with a threaded battery cap so the optic does not need to be removed from the pistol for battery changes.  

The ROMEO-X Enclosed Series optics are now available at sigsauer.com.

Thermal Augmentation Device Update: Available for Preorder!

Monday, July 1st, 2024

Redlands, California—

TNVC and Safran Defense & Space, Inc. (Safran DSI), formerly Safran Optics 1, are excited to announce the release of the Thermal Augmentation Device (TAD), one of the most exciting new products in the Visual Augmentation Systems space—and available now for Pre-Order exclusively through TNVC!

tnvc.com/shop/safrandsi-tad-thermal-augmentation-device

Production units are rolling off the line now with the first commercial deliveries occurring by August! These initial units are available for Pre-Order at an introductory price of $6,500 and available with multiple bracket options, including PVS-14-based optical lens assemblies, the L3Harris BNVD (PVS-31) and GPNVG, and Elbit/EOTECH/Theon AN/PVS-31D (additional options available).

TAD is based on the AN/PAS-29B Enhanced Clip-On Thermal Imager (ECOTI), and is a small, lightweight system that clips on to almost any existing Night Vision Goggle system. TAD creates an instant thermal fusion capability without any permanent modification to the device or system by projecting a thermal overlay into the intensified image, providing the user with superior detection, situational awareness and identification capabilities compared to using an I2 or thermal system by itself.

At only 90 grams (including the mounting bracket and internal battery), TAD is smaller and lighter than the AN/PAS-29B ECOTI, while featuring an improved 672 x 544 10 µm uncooled LWIR microbolometer sensor while retaining the ECOTI’s 30o circular field of view (FOV), allowing users to detect moving man-sized signatures atup to 250M depending on conditions. TAD is also backwards compatible with most existing legacy AN/PAS-29A (COTI) and ECOTI mounting brackets.

TAD allows users to upgrade their existing systems to obtain and employ fusion capabilities at a low cost, without needing to purchase and field an entirely new goggle system. While dedicated systems and even systems like the ECOTI offer a tremendous range of capabilities, particularly with ATAK and other Augmented Reality integration capabilities, not all users may need them. TAD offers a “no frills” fusion at 40% less cost, making it ideal for commercial and law enforcement customers who simply want the thermal detection capabilities withoutneeding to use a secondary device like a handheld thermal monocular or having to pay for unused features.

“I2 / Thermal Fusion is becoming THE standard for headborne Visual Augmentation Systems,” notes TNVC COO, Augee Kim. “With devices like the ENVG-B and SBNVG becoming standardized across close combat formations across the DoD, I2 / Thermal Fusion offers a significant edge to users in extreme low light conditions and heavily wooded or shaded areas, including subterranean operations, as we begin to face adversaries with their own night vision capabilities.”

TAD, created and manufactured by Safran DSI, is available exclusively at TNVC.com for Pre-Order with commercial deliveries expected to begin by August!
