S.O.Tech Go Bag Extended, MultiCam Black

Tuesday, December 21st, 2021

Over 16 years of the iconic S.O.Tech Go Bag line. The SGB-X (S.O.Tech Go Bag, Extended) for the first time now offered in MultiCam® Black.

The S.O.Tech Go Bag series came from a friend in one of JSOC’s Tier units. They were operating in Afghanistan and Iraq crammed in Hi Luxes and Little Birds. They needed a survival kit bag that could slide in and stack in those compact spaces and extract when the troop came into contact.

The original tubular bag with single sling shoulder strap had three small zippered pockets for batteries, food, NODS, and other items.

When the same troops needed to transport their weapons quietly, we extended the length to accommodate the M4 broken down and extended the side pouches to take mags. Breaking the carbine down and stacking its components presented a a tubular shape that confused any surveillance team looking for weapons bags.

The design was quickly adapted by teams across the Interagency. And the third iteration was the S.O.Tech Go Pack where we created a double shoulder strap version for those guys carrying such a heavy load that the sling shoulder strap just wasn’t enough. However, we configured it in a unique arrangement so the double shoulder strap could connect for form a single sling strap for lighted load. All of these designs allowed for the quick donning motion of throwing it over the head and shoulder, and the easy access by spinning it around.

TacMed Tuesday – Putting the “Solutions” in TacMed Solutions

Tuesday, December 21st, 2021

A key part of TacMed Solutions™ mission is providing customers with a complete solution to equip, train and protect. This means that they try to consider all aspects of potential injuries or events and work to create a complete solution. The team strives to solve problems for both military and civilian missions.

The innovative problem-solving process often stems from a real-life injury or situation and begins by asking if the solutions available, or ones not available, were effective. From this initial insight, the team begins looking for ways to either create a solution or improve an existing one.

Historically, TacMed™ takes on problems that are both industry-wide and problems that are specifically brought to them.

For example, the Tramedic® public access line was a solution created out of industry need. At the time of inception, there was nothing else like it on the market. In a variety of situations, it has been extremely effective in creating a complete solution. In schools, Tramedic® is not just a solution for point of injury care for school shootings. It also prepares the customer prior so that they have an increased chance of success with Tramedic® Training and maintain the equipment through expiration tracking. In addition, there are aspects of the kits that ensure that they integrate with first responders and benefit them. Conversely, the Foxtrot® Litter was designed stemming from a problem brought to them by an end-user.

The solutions provided by TacMed™ all come from vast industry knowledge, understanding the customers’ situations, and even from their own experience.

TNVC Teams with L3Harris as the First Factory Authorized Spare / Repair Parts Distributor for Night Vision Equipment

Monday, December 20th, 2021

“Amateurs talk about tactics, professionals study logistics.” We’ve all heard it, but in the glitz and glam of influencers and social media and “tactical this” and “tactical that,” sustainment and logistics can get somewhat lost in the fray. In the rush to go out and get the newest, and latest and greatest in capabilities, technology, and products, the need to sustain our existing equipment can end up inadvertently playing second fiddle.

Though our name may be “Tactical Night Vision Company,” at TNVC we are committed to providing comprehensive support to professionals and enthusiasts alike, with cradle-to-grave support of our products and systems, from initial consultation, product selection, operational training, and of course, sustainment.

Led by professional military and law enforcement veterans, we understand the need not only to get new equipment, but to keep the equipment we already have still running and serviceable, as demonstrated in our Lifetime Limited Warranty and repair and maintenance programs, as well as being an integral part of our training and training sustainment program.

At TNVC, we’re extremely proud of our enduring strategic partnerships and relationships and the opportunities they allow, such as our relationship with L3Harris’ Integrated Vision Solutions (IVS) business. As a direct distributor for this business, we have been able to greatly expand the accessibility and availability of industry-leading technologies and capabilities such as the ATPIAL, BNVD (AN/PVS-31A), BNVD-1531, and GPNVG, including commercial sales.

We are therefore pleased to announce that we have further expanded our relationship with L3Harris IVS to become the first, Factory-Authorized Spare and Repair Parts distributor for its finished night vision products, not only making it easier to obtain equipment and capabilities, but to sustain them. To facilitate this program, we are also introducing a new Spare/Repair Parts portal on our website, making it easier and more convenient to obtain spare and repair parts for your L3Harris night vision systems than ever before!

tnvc.com/shop/category/l3harris-spare-parts

TNVC’s new Spare/Repair Parts portal features an easy-to-use user interface, allowing users to select their system, and choose from a drop-down menu, listing available spare and repair parts, including photographs of the parts, as well as selecting color options (when applicable), displaying the part number, price, and stock status immediately, creating a seamless user experience, whether you need one part or one hundred.

SCUBAPRO Sunday – The Aladin A2 dive watches

Sunday, December 19th, 2021

In the spirt of last minute Christmas gifts. The SCUABPRO A2 dive watch was developed for all levels of divers, from beginners to advanced, technical and working divers. The A2 offers full timekeeping functions and a Sport mode. When it’s time to go diving, the A2 provides everything a diver wants and everything a technical diver needs. It starts with wireless air integration that monitors tank pressure and provides true remaining bottom time. The digital tilt-compensated compass offers easy navigation underwater or on the surface. The A2 lets you choose from six Dive Modes, including Trimix and Closed-Circuit Rebreather, and because it’s designed with Human Factor Diving, it incorporates cutting edge biometrics that enables you to live your life in dive mode.

With advanced, technical, CCR, and freedivers in mind, Smart technology wireless air-integration can handle multiple transmitters. Optional air-integration monitors tank pressure and provides true remaining bottom time (RBT) calculations based on the workload from breathing (transmitter sold separately).

Digital tilt-compensated 3D compass allows for easy navigation. Predictive Multi-Gas ZH-L16 ADT MB algorithm accommodates eight gases (21-100% O2) plus two in CCR mode. PDIS (Profile Dependent Intermediate Stops) calculates an intermediate stop based on N2 loading, current, and previous dives and breathing mixes for safer diving. Microbubble levels let you adjust the level of conservatism in the algorithm to match your experience level, age, and physical conditioning.

Multiple Dive Modes: Scuba, Gauge, Apnea, Trimix, side mount, CCR. Sport mode offers sport-related functions like a swim stroke counter, activity counter (pedometer), and stopwatch. High-resolution matrix display with large numbers is easy to read underwater, even in adverse conditions. Lightweight design is so comfortable on the wrist you won’t want to take it off. Intuitive menu and four-button controls make it easy to navigate through the system. Bluetooth Low Energy interface lets you download dives to any iOS or Android device or PC/Mac. Firmware can be user-updated by going to scubapro.com. Power is provided by a standard CR2450 battery that is rated for up to two years/300 dives. The computer’s maximum operating depth is 394′ (120m) and is altitude adjustable from sea level to approximately 13,300′ (4,000m). Included with the computer are a protection foil, quick card, arm strap extension, read first (the user manual is available online)—optional equipment: transmitter, heart rate belt.
