Thursday, March 29th, 2018Crye Precision Adds Maritime Series Carrier And Pouches To Website
Tuesday, March 27th, 2018
Crye Precision just updated their website with the Maritime Series which consists of the Maritime JPC 2.0 (Swimmer Cut), Pouches and accessories.
The biggest difference is that the items feature mesh construction for drainage in a maritime environment.
It’s also important to note that the Maritime Series is made-to-order and not part of their standard stocking system. That means a minimum lead time of 12 weeks.

“This follow-on order through the Program Executive Office (PEO) – Soldier supports the mission of the U.S. Army’s Security Force Assistance Brigades,” said Ray Summers, Protonex Director of Military Sales. “The SFAB’s work is critical in supporting partner training in austere environments and the U.S. Army’s focus on these field forces is contributing to the growing demand for power management solutions.”
The SPM-622 Squad Power Manager is a tough and compact device which weighs less than a pound and enables military units to optimize power for multiple electronic devices, including portable radios, GPS systems, medical instruments, Explosive Ordinance Demolition equipment as well as tablet and laptop computers.
The SPM-622 can draw power from any source – including battery, solar, vehicle, AC, or scavenged energy sources – to run equipment or recharge batteries. It delivers deployment-proven benefits to military forces that include:
• Dependable power for more than 100 electronic devices currently used by troops;
• Lightened load for troops in the field by reducing their battery burden;
• Reduction in battery logistical support requirements; and
• Increased energy flexibility for troops operating in austere environments.
The SPM-622 Squad Power Manager system is developed and is produced by Protonex at the company’s facility in Southborough, Massachusetts. To date more than 5,000 units have been deployed by the United States and NATO Partner Nations.

2018 USASOC Sniper Comp – Rheinmetall Vario-Ray Low Profile
Monday, March 26th, 2018Designed and developed by Rheinmetall Soldier Electronics (RSE) in Stockach, Germany, the Vario-Ray Low Profile (VR-LP) is the latest version of their Vario-Ray line. It combines laser aiming and illuminating into a single device which is waterproof to 30m for 2 hours. It is very low profile, sitting just 1 inch above the Picatinny rail, with simple-to-use push button controls.
Available with Green or Red visible laser, the VR-LP also incorporates an IR illuminator and target marker. The laser block is aligned at the factory which simplifies boresighting. Additionally, there is an eye-safe training mode when the blue blocking screw is installed.
The VR-LP has standard Y-cable interfaces for use with the Rheinmetall modular weapon lamp or third-party lamps. It relies on a single CR-123A battery to provide 4 hours of dual IR 30/80mW use.
The VR-LP is offered in the United States by American Rheinmetall Systems, LLC.
2018 USASOC Sniper Comp – RE Factor Flexible Antenna Mast
Monday, March 26th, 2018Quantico Tactical gave us a sneak peek at the new Flexible Antenna Mast by RE Factor Tactical.
Over the years, communicators have rigged up various ways to communicate via SATCOM while on the move. Fortunately, antennas have gotten smaller, to the point where they can be mounted directly to a vest. That’s where things get tricky. You need to point the antenna in at least the general direction of the bird and its shape offers some challenges on how to keep it in place. There are also times where it’s preferable to have the antenna folded. We’ve all seen guys use PVC stuffed into PALS webbing or ziptied in place but that is a bit too rigid.
RE Factor Tactical developed a flexible mast which can be woven into PALS webbing on a vest and will accept most manpackable SATCOM antennas. It is flexible, but will retain the shape you select.
Specs:
Weight: 1.2 lbs – no antenna / 1.8 lbs – with antenna
Dimensions: 24” L x .5” W (standard)
US Patent 20120280869A1
Features:
– Custom length and connections available – Built-in 1/4-20 connector mount
– UV coated heat shrink for added protection – Assembled in the USA
MSRP: $109.99
Ops-Core Helmets Evaluated During Urban Advanced Naval Technology Exercise 2018
Monday, March 26th, 2018Last week, the Marine Corps conducted Urban Advanced Naval Technology Exercise 2018 (Urban ANTX-18) at Camp Pendleton, California.
During the exercise, Marines with Kilo Company, 3rd Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division evaluated a wide variety of technologies, particularly visual augmentation equipment. But in every case, they were wearing Ops-Core helmets to protect the Marines’ heads and serve as a head Orne platform.
The helmets featured the new step-in visor, RAC headsets and soft mandibles.

2018 USASOC Sniper Comp – SAIN Defense Firearm Cleaning System
Friday, March 23rd, 2018At the US Tactical Supply I finally got a chance to check out the SAIN Defense Firearm Cleaning System In person. The amount of thought, and work, that went into this thing is impressive.
It’s available in 5.56 and 7.62 versions. Either one come packed in a Coyote or MultiCam pouch. The contents consist of:
Rod Sections for the kit are 17-4PH Stainless steel and 360 Brass (7.62 sections). (NOTE: 5.56 sections do not have bore riders due to small bore diameter. Uses standard, commercial (COTS) 8-32 male bore attachments.) Brass bore riders (softer than the bore) keep rod centered, reinforce the section joints, and keep the stainless rod off of the bore. Rod sections are knurled for assembly/disassembly with wet hands and without the use of tools. The rod is extremely strong and precision manufactured.
Picatinny Rail Interface (Patented): 6061 aluminum. Allows the rod to spin freely, forms a conventional T-handle, and also allows the weapon fore grip to be used as a handle. Also equipped with a 3/8” drive socket attachment which may be used as a weapons maintenance tool.
US Tactical Supply has both versions on GSA schedule (GS-07F-0259N).
