Gentex M52 Joint Service Chemical Environmental Survivability Mask

Tuesday, March 17th, 2020

Think of it as a “get off the X” insurance policy. Since the Aum Shinrikyo Sarin gas attack on the Tokyo Subway in the 1990s, some organizations have been issuing disposable protective masks to allow their personnel to escape chemical, biological and nuclear threats which might be encountered off the battlefield where traditional PPE is not available.

JSCESM is a lightweight, low bulk protective mask/hood capable of providing above the neck, respiratory and ocular protection against low-level threat Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) attacks, for short durations. The M52 JSCESM defends users against non-direct hazards, such as chemical vapors, fumes, and airborne biological and radiological particulate hazards.

This disposable mask is good for one use and offers more than two hours of continuous protection against low-level vapor, aerosol and particulate threats.

In its stored configuration JSCESM is packed in a 4” x 7” x 4.75” size and weighs less than 1.3 lbs.

INVISIO receives new order from U.S. Security Force Assistance Brigades

Monday, March 16th, 2020

INVISIO has received another order for communication equipment from the U.S. Army’s Security Force Assistance Brigades (SFAB). The order is valued at approximately SEK 36 million. Deliveries are expected to take place in the second quarter 2020.

Confidence in the INVISIO systems continues to grow with the additional Army SFAB units utilizing the INVISIO kits. These specialized units have specific tactical communication needs with many different applications/mission sets and INVISIO’s solutions provide them with multiple capabilities in a variety of configurations. The situational awareness provided under operational tactical communications coupled with superior hearing protection is crucial to the soldiers’ ability to perform their tasks successfully under critical conditions.

The order, which is valued at approximately SEK 36 million, is an important reference in the ongoing global modernization of communications equipment in the military and defense sectors as well as in policing and security.

“We are very proud that the US Army continues to provide more SFAB units with our communications systems. It shows that they have confidence in INVISIO and that our offer meets the communication needs of users in the most critical environments. The order is an important reference in the continued processing of the US market,” says Lars Højgård Hansen, CEO of INVISIO.

The Security Force Assistance Brigades are specialized units whose core mission is to conduct advise-and-assist operations with allied and partner nations. Soldiers in SFABs are highly trained and will help brigade combat teams build readiness by freeing them from advisory missions.

MATBOCK Monday – GRAVEROBBER Series

Monday, March 16th, 2020

Happy MATBOCK Monday! This week our focus is on the GRAVEROBBER Series.

The GRAVEROBBER Series includes a combination of various bags and pouches that can be configured for your expeditionary and operational needs. All bags and pouches in the GRAVEROBBER Series are made using MATBOCK’s exclusive Ghost and Ghost Light material, making them the lightest and toughest bags on the market.

GRAVEROBBER Sustainment Kit

The GRAVEROBBER Sustainment Kit is a joint CRO Medical and MATBOCK project to bring a prolonged field care pack to the operational medic. It features the Sustainment bag, 4 x sustainment pouches, 4 x sustainment panels, and the GRAVEROBBER Drug Box.  All made from MATBOCK Ghost and Ghost Light materials.

GRAVEROBBER Technical Mountain Ruck

The Technical Mountain Ruck is a combination of the GRAVEROBBER Assault Medic (GRAM) Kit and the GRAVEROBBER Sustainment Kit. The GRAM easily zips to the outside of the sustainment bag to give the medic everything needed for both assault and prolonged medical operations. Made from MATBOCK’s Ghost and Ghost Light materials for superior water resistance, durability, strength and weight savings.

GRAVEROBBER Assault Medic

The GRAVEROBBER Assault Medic bag is the result of years of needed improvement in bags specifically designed for the team medic. CRO brings a multi-mission approach to the design with their well-thought-out adaptability, including a panel insert that converts to a skeleton med panel which can be clipped or slung using the thin padded shoulder straps. Remove to design a custom panel that is interchangeable for different packing requirements, or easily change bags with the versatility of a panel insert.

Lighter Faster Warriors, The MATBOCK™ ethos, is realized by the GRAM.

MATBOCK Ghost® material is used throughout with Tegris reinforcements, giving the inside contents protection to allow for narcotics to be set up using a soft case.

A few of the highlighted features include:
• Jumpable
• Waterproof
• Mounts on ALICE frame
• Hangs in vehicles
• Ultralight 2.9 lbs
• 1.2 lbs skeletonized setup (if you clip it on, less)
• Mitigates shrapnel hazards
• Thinnest med bag ever created

The GRAVEROBBER™ Assault Medic bag is designed to be mounted to an ALICE frame, giving the medic a slim assault bag that can be configured in many ways to enhance medical load carriage. This jumpable, water resistant bag bridges the gap between assault bags and en-route care, due to its expandable design and ability to hang.

This versatile, meticulously designed med bag was created with everyday medic load carriage in mind.

GRAVEROBBER Surgical

Lightweight ruck designed to carry surgical medical equipment for expeditionary and operational professionals. Available both with and without frame.

The complete kit includes:
• Ventilation Pouch
• Drug Roll
• IV Pouch
• Multifunction Pouch

SCUBAPRO Sunday – Quick Release Adapter for the Frameless Mask

Sunday, March 15th, 2020

SCUBAPRO’s FRAMELESS mask is diving’s original frameless mask. The Frameless was the first mask to use the lens as its structural support, which significantly increased the field of vision for divers. Twenty-one years later, it is still the first choice of military and technical divers.

Its distinctive rectangular single-lens shape is classic, providing an excellent field of view on the periphery as well as straight ahead. By eliminating the frame, you create a mask that sits closer to your eyes. This provides a broader field of view to better take in the underwater sights, plus it reduces volume, which makes it easier to clear. Also, since there is no frame, the buckles attach directly to the skirt. This enables the mask to fold relatively flat for packing or for slipping into a BC cargo pocket. The soft silicone skirt on the FRAMELESS is comfortable yet durable, and the double-edge seal feels good against the skin. Buckles attach to flexible tabs on the skirt; this optimizes strap angle when dialing in the fit.

SCUBAPRO wanted to give it an update without taking away from its already iconic features. We also wanted it to work with our newest dive computer, the Galileo HUD. So, we develop a way to mount the HUD to the mask as the mount needs a hole drilled through the lens, which can only be done before the glass is tempered.  

SCUBAPRO is always trying to innovate for the working divers and set the standard for new gear. The latest features for the Frameless/ Frameless Gorilla mask are the addition of the comfort strap adapter. They can be added onto existing masks, and this allows the user to add several new features to one of the most iconic masks ever made. We have new accessories for the classic Frameless mask. The latest version of the Frameless that is available with an integrated HUD Arm that allows you to mount the SCUBAPRO HUD hands-free dive compute.  

SCUBAPRO has also been working with some military units to make the Frameless mask non-magnetic. To do this, we decide to develop a conversion kit so it could use our comfort straps. With this, we removed the springs and pins in the mask straps. QR kit Part Number 24.340.039

The Frameless adapter kit includes two quick clips and the roll pins. The adapters also allow you to use the SCUBAPRO Odin Helmet Straps. Ops-Core is the primer brand when it comes to helmet innovation. The Odin system allows any mask with quick clips to be attached to any helmet that has the Ops-Core ARC rail systems. The Odin straps are perfect for any time you have to wear a helmet when diving or in the water. Like using a DPV, Wearing Jet-boots, Search and Rescue Operations, or working in Fast Moving Water. The Comfort Strap is similar to a ski goggle strap in design. It clips right into the mask buckle adapter and offers a wide adjustment range. It also is a lot less likely to break mid-dive as it is a nylon strap and not rubber or silicone. The adapter also makes the mask non-magnetic for EOD use, as it removes all metal parts.
