The PTX ABC-812 Adaptive Battery Charger is the lightweight, flexible, intelligent, bulk battery charger built for rugged field use.
Like all PTX Power management systems, the Adaptive Battery Charger can draw power from any source. Unlike our other systems, it has been specifically optimized as a bulk battery charger that charge multiple different types of batteries at the same time – from the same power source. Due to its intelligent power management system, the ABC-812 automatically evaluates the power source and adjusts its output to maximize charge rate and minimize charge time.
The ABC also prioritizes charging, so that the fullest battery is charged first – enabling the user to get back in operation as soon as possible with at least one fully charged battery. Its built-in intelligence also prevents it from completely draining a vehicle battery when in scavenge mode – so you’re left stuck with a dead battery.
It is also easily adaptable to different charging needs – just plug in a new battery adapter cup and start charging, no additional programming or reconfiguration is required. The ABC-812 currently supports a wide range of military and commercial batteries; including the BB2590, Conformal Wearable Battery, MBITR, C-SEL, Aeryon Skyranger UAV, and more.
The entire system is packed in a tough, impact-resistant, waterproof, case to ensure reliable operation in austere expeditionary environments, and has been proven on deployments with US Army, US Air Force, and NATO units.

INNOVATIVE. MODULAR. MISSION SPECIFIC.

The B.E. Meyers & Co. MAWL-DA ® (Modular Advanced Weapon Laser – Direct Action) is an IR and visible green weapon laser for aiming and illumination. Understanding the shortcomings of common laser devices in use with both military and law enforcement, B.E. Meyers & Co. built the MAWL-DA with three ideal settings (Close Range, Mid Range, and Long Range) which allow for seamless transitions in any operational environment. Engineered with B.E. Meyers’ proprietary VCSEL technology, it offers significantly improved beam quality and clarity while maintaining efficiency. The MAWL-DA was designed from the ground up to meet the needs of the modern night fighter and is currently used by Special Operations groups across the world.
INTELLIGENT. EFFECTIVE. EYE SAFE.

B.E. Meyers and Co.’s GLARE® series of weapon mounted lasers is the most advanced Ocular Interruption System available capable of providing effective Hail and Warning. Featuring B.E. Meyers & Co.’s patented SmartRange™ technology, the GLARE RECOL®, GLARE HELIOS™, and LA-22/U provide immediate and recognizable visual warning from 4m to 20km and beyond while maintaining eye safe power output on target.
LOW PROFILE. LIGHTWEIGHT. MODULAR.

The BOARS® -M2 is a low profile optics and accessories rail for the M2 platform. It offers quick-disconnect with true return-to-zero reattach for switching between day and night optics. The BOARS-M2’s minimal height over receiver allows for a lower end user defilade, while still featuring a pass through aperture for use with iron sights.
EXTREME POWER. EXTREME DISTANCE. MAXIMUM VERSATILITY.

The IZLID® series of long range IR and SWIR laser pointers and illuminators have quickly become a sought after signaling and target marking commodity for handheld, weapon, and aircraft mounted applications. They have been to hell-and-back in conflict zones across the world, and stay operational and effective no matter how much abuse they take in the field.
