UF PRO Bringing Its Newest Tactical Clothing Products to 2020 Enforce Tac and IWA in Nuremberg

Thursday, February 6th, 2020

TRZIN, SLOVENIA (05 February 2020)—UF PRO today said it will unveil no fewer than a half-dozen new tactical clothing products as well as showcase other products in its continually expanding catalogue at both the Enforce Tac and IWA Outdoor Classics trade shows in Nuremberg, Germany, next month.

Enforce Tac will be held 4-5 March in Nuremberg’s exhibition centre. UF PRO will be at Stand 12-424 to display the new and familiar lineups.

On 6 March, the UF PRO booth will take up a new position in the same exhibition centre for the start of the IWA Outdoor Classics show, which runs until 9 March. During that time, UF PRO will conduct operations from Stand 9-303.

UF PRO said it will premier at the two shows two next-generation Tactical Pants. The new pants are a part of the company’s popular P-40 range of tactical wear. They’ll offer an updated design, functional pockets, and exceptional wear comfort for the user, the company reported.

Additionally, UF PRO indicated it intends to introduce two new Jackets to their existing lineups. The first one is said to be extremely well suited for sub-zero temperatures and built with features that protect the operator in cold winter conditions. Second is a jacket, designed for cooler and wet environments and boasting a plentiful pocket configuration.

“Both of these jackets will be available in MultiCam and the main advantage is they are now fully covered in this pattern, no parts are left out. “ explained Armin Wagner, head of product development for UF PRO.

“This is a major step forward and it was quite the challenge to achieve, because of the different materials we use in our gear”, added Wagner.

Expected at the UF PRO booth during both trade shows will be several other already introduced items. They include:

Delta ML Gen.2 Jacket in Steel Grey—a feather-light thermal-insulation jacket suitable for wear as a middle or outer layer (it features abrasion-resistant side panels, G-Loft thermal insulation filling, moisture-wicking microfleece lining, and a face fabric that is water-repellent and windproof).

Striker X Combat Shirt in Brown Grey and Flecktarn camouflage patterns—a rugged-design, no-melt/no-drip garment developed by drawing on insights from military operators in need for extremely demanding use.

Striker X Combat Pants in Flecktarn, Brown Grey, and MultiCam camouflage patterns—like the Striker X Combat Shirt, these streamlined pants were developed with military operator input in order to endow them with previously elusive durability.

FR Striker Combat Shirt and Combat Pants set—a not-for-civilian-use flame-retardant BDU sold to government agencies only.

Additionally, UF PRO will have on hand many popular staples found in its current catalogue. Among those will be the waterproof Monsoon XT BDU lineup plus all of the Striker Combat Pants models, such as the hot-weather Striker HT Combat Pants (to be shown in Desert Grey) and the Striker XT Gen.2 Combat Pants (widely considered the go-to choice for base wear).

Enforce Tac is an annual gathering of police, security officials, and members of the military from across Europe and beyond. It is widely recognized as a premier event for showcasing the newest tactical gear as well as for glimpsing the upcoming products soon to be available on the market.

IWA is a major trade fair geared more (but not entirely) toward the civilian market. As such, it is typically thronged with hunters, competitive shooters, lovers of the great outdoors, and those interested in becoming more proficient at self-defense.

“At these two shows we typically greet thousands of professionals and civilians who want to undertake missions or engage in recreational pursuits while outfitted with clothing that’s exceptionally durable, highly protective, smartly fitting, highly functional and above all comfortable,” said Armin Wagner.

“We yet again very much look forward to participating in these two phenomenal shows,” he added.

UF PRO makes advanced-technology field garments that include jackets, shirts, pants, hats, caps, and accessories popular with military and law-enforcement personnel.

ADS Showcases Updates To Hydroid REMUS 600 Unmanned Underwater Vehicle

Wednesday, February 5th, 2020

In the past, Hydroid’s REMUS Underwater Vehicle would complete its mission and it would take 10 hours or more to download the datasets. With the addition of the new HISAS 2040 Module, the data is processed during the mission, so users get high-def images in near real time. Here is the ADS press release.

Hydroid Integrates HISAS 2040 Module with In-Mission Processor onto a REMUS 600 Unmanned Underwater Vehicle.

The in-mission processor (pictured in red) allows real-time processing of HISAS data, giving operators the ability to download high-resolution images immediately when the vehicle returns from its mission.

Unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) play a crucial role within the defense space with their ability to carry out unique missions. UUVs provide many advantages to the fleet with their autonomy and long endurance, making missions safer and easier to accomplish. Their modularity allows for them to be outfitted with different payloads for varying mission requirements.

REMUS 600 UUV applications include:

· Mine Countermeasure Operations

· Hydrographic Surveys

· Search & Salvage Operations

· Marine Research

· Environmental Monitoring

· Debris Field Mapping

View Product Details

The REMUS 600 UUV from Hydroid, Inc. is positively buoyant and is designed to operate to depths of 600 meters. With mission duration capability of up to 24 hours, the REMUS 600 delivers unprecedented endurance. Sonar technology is used on these UUVs to capture images for organic mine countermeasure, hydrographic surveys, area searches, and surveillance and reconnaissance.

HISAS 2040 provides up to 2cm by 2cm resolution across a 300-meter swath. Synthetic aperture sonar uses algorithms to synthetically lengthen the aperture, providing consistent resolution across the entire swath, both along and across track, as opposed to traditional real aperture side scan sonars. Because of the high resolution of HISAS, the files are very large and can take several hours to download after a mission is complete.

To help solve this problem, Hydroid, Inc. integrated an in-mission processor on a REMUS 600 Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) with the KONGSBERG High-Resolution Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Sonar (HISAS) 2040.

With the in-mission processor, HISAS data is processed and compressed in real-time along with the navigation data, allowing immediate download of the sonar imagery when the vehicle returns from its mission through a 10GB Ethernet switch. This is ideal for time-sensitive missions like mine countermeasures, where faster data access means safer, more efficient operations. Other HISAS applications include hydrographic surveys, pipeline inspection and rapid environmental assessment.

Mystery Ranch Updates Rip Ruck Packs for 2020

Tuesday, February 4th, 2020

During last week’s Outdoor Retailer Snow + Winter Market, Mystery Ranch introduced updated versions of their Rip Ruck Packs. The military pack design cues are obvious. The main feature, the ability to rapidly access the main compartment by “ripping” up on the flap remains, but now the accessory pockets (when present) are easier to access thanks to the Fidlock magnetic buckles which replace the side release on the old model.

Offered in 32, 24 and 15 liter models (top photo to bottom), the packs feature an updated molded foam framesheet.
