Princeton Tec Launches Ghost X Tactical Headlamp at SHOT Show 2026

Tuesday, January 20th, 2026

PENNSAUKEN, NJ – January 20, 2026 — Princeton Tec, a leader in American-made tactical and outdoor lighting, announces the launch of Ghost X, a new full-spectrum tactical headlamp designed for professionals who require precise control, reliable performance, and light discipline in demanding environments. Ghost X will debut at SHOT Show 2026, January 20–23 in Las Vegas.

Ghost X was engineered with a clear goal: to deliver a powerful range of tactical lighting features in a streamlined design that balances performance, control, and durability. The headlamp provides up to 300 lumens of white light, along with red, green, and blue LEDs for low-signature tasks. For covert operations, Ghost X delivers 940 nanometer infrared output with adjustable power from 70 to 320 milliwatts.

The light features a simple, intuitive user interface, allowing users to easily control brightness levels and cycle through lighting modes. A programmable LED system lets operators customize the order of colored LEDs to match mission-specific needs.

For enhanced light discipline, Ghost X includes a dedicated Ghost Mode mechanical switch. When activated, all visible light is blocked, and the light operates only in IR High, IR Low, or IR Strobe. The switch also functions as a kill switch, instantly shutting off all illumination to prevent accidental light exposure.

Built for durability, Ghost X carries an IP68 waterproof rating, weighs just 82 grams, and is powered by either a CR123 lithium battery or a single AA battery, offering flexibility in the field.

Ghost X will be offered as both a standalone headlamp and an MPLS configuration, with the MPLS version including mounting hardware for helmet, NVG, and MOLLE integration. This modular system allows Ghost X to integrate seamlessly into helmet-mounted or kit-based setups while maintaining fast, secure attachment.

Available in Multicam®, Tan, Black, and OD Green, Ghost X is designed to integrate seamlessly into modern tactical setups.

Ghost X Technical Specifications:

300 lumens (white light)

940nm infrared output with adjustable radiometric power up to 320 mWr

Up to 29 hours of runtime

Weight: 82g

IP68 waterproof rating

Offered in MPLS + Standalone Headlamp Options

MSRP: $69.99 / $99.99

“Launching Ghost X at SHOT Show is incredibly exciting for our team,” said?Kady Kolb, director of marketing at Princeton Tec. “This headlamp was built with direct input from professionals who depend on their gear without compromise. Ghost X embodies the durability, reliability, and thoughtful engineering Princeton Tec is known for, and we’re grateful to our customers who continue to trust us in the most demanding environments.”

Princeton Tec will be exhibiting in the?Law Enforcement Section at booth #62103, where attendees can get a first-hand look at the Ghost X, and explore its full lineup of tactical and outdoor lighting solutions, including headlamps and helmet-mounted lights designed for law enforcement, military professionals, hunters, and outdoor adventurers.

SHOT Show is the largest trade show of its kind, welcoming more than 50,000 professionals from the shooting, hunting, outdoor, and law enforcement industries. With over 2,700 exhibitors, the event serves as a hub for innovation, collaboration, and strategic partnerships across the industry.

SIG Teams with IAI for the Firestorm Armed Quadcopter

Tuesday, January 20th, 2026

We first mentioned the Firestorm UAS during AUSA but leaned more about this armed quadcopter during the SIG Defense Range Day. With an APUS 60 airframe from Israeli Aerospace Industries combined with a lightweight remote weapon station and M250 machine gun and 200 rounds of 7.62mm NATO ammunition from SIG SAUER, the system offers persistent, dedicated close air support. Essentially, it is an airborne machine gun.

Thanks to its multi-fuel internal combustion engine, boasting on station time of three hours, a unit equipped with several Firestorms could stagger sorties in order to offer 24-hour coverage. Unlike battery powered drones with short flight times and long recharge times leads to severe gaps in operations.

Another factor for the duration is that the engine runs as a fixed RPM and speed and station keeping is achieved through changing the blade pitch. This allows the Firestorm to take off and land in up to 23 knot winds and fly in winds up to 40 knots. The use of altered blade pitch reacts 10x faster than traditional engine RPM changes. This offers another advantage. The engine doesn’t change pitch as the UAS reacts to control input making it less likely to be detected by sound.

What’s more, in spite of its long hover time, the Firestorm retains ample power for the onboard weapon station. The max takeoff weight is 72kg with a payload weight of 35kg.

The Micolight remote weapon station is based on the General Robotics Bulldog but is more compact and smaller weighing just under 10kg. It is optimized for use with the SIG Medium Machine Gun chambered in 7.62mm NATO. The weapon station can see out your 25km, incorporating an electro optical sensor with 10x zoom and the Infrared sensor offers 5x zoom. Additionally, there is a laser range finder and the software includes automatic target recognition and tracking functions.

An interesting feature is that the training burden is lower than with other larger drones and utilizes a unified control system for both remote weapon station and flight. In fact, when the weapon is engaged, the Firestorm assumes a hover but can quickly transition into a move and scoot mode by the operator to balance survivability and target engagement. While engagement has only been tested so far in hover, the development team is working on the ability to engage while moving.

The system is easily transportable with foldable arms which are quickly placed into action and has undergone testing with foreign customers.

We will provide more information on this system as we receive it.

AIMPOINT Broadens COA and A-CUT Adoption Across Leading Pistol Brands

Tuesday, January 20th, 2026

Las Vegas, NV, January 20, 2026 – During the NSSF SHOT Show, Aimpoint announces a significant expansion of its COA® pistol red dot sight through a growing network of OEM partners. The COA optic is offered as a factory-installed package, with pistols shipping directly from manufacturers equipped with the optic via Aimpoint’s integrated A-CUT® interface.

This expansion represents a major step forward in Aimpoint’s strategy to redefine the standard for pistol-mounted optics. By offering a direct-mount solution engineered specifically for duty-grade performance, the A-CUT system delivers enhanced durability, consistency, and performance for professional and civilian end users alike.

Aimpoint has licensed the use of the A-CUT with major firearm and accessory manufacturers, including many of the most prominent handgun manufacturers in the market. Additional factory-installed pistol and COA combinations are planned throughout the year, reinforcing Aimpoint’s objective to establish A-CUT as the industry standard for optic mounting on pistols.

A-CUT is a slide-integrated mounting interface that mechanically locks the optic in place, stabilizing it in all directions and eliminating movement under recoil. This mechanically locked interface removes the shear forces normally placed on screws in traditional optic mounts. By utilizing a front hook and rear locking wedge and enabling a low-profile installation, A-CUT ensures consistent alignment, durability, and co-witness capability.

In addition to factory-installed OEM packages, COA will also be available as a standalone pistol sight. This option is intended for users who wish to install COA on an existing pistol. As COA requires an A-CUT interface, installation is carried out by licensed gunsmiths authorized to mill A-CUT. Aimpoint is rolling out a licensing program for professional gunsmiths, with applications available via Aimpoint’s website.

Key Features of AIMPOINT COA

• 3.5 MOA red dot reflex sight for pistols

• Integrated A-CUT interface

• Battery life: 50,000 hours (over five years)

on one battery

• Weight: 48 grams (1.7 oz), sight only

• Four night vision compatible settings and

eight daylight settings.

• Submersible to 25 meters (80 feet)

Galvion Expands ‘Charge on the Move’ Capability with Vehicle and Dismounted Integration Solutions

Monday, January 19th, 2026

Galvion, a global leader in the design and manufacture of innovative head systems, power and data management solutions, and integrated soldier systems, has expanded its Charge on the Move capability with the introduction of new vehicle-mounted and dismounted integration accessories designed to support real-world operational use. This announcement coincides with SHOT Show, taking place in Las Vegas, 20-23 January 2026, where Galvion is exhibiting the Charge on the Move system alongside their wider product offering on booth #32003.

Building on the field-proven Squad Power Manager™ (SPM), these new accessories transition Charge on the Move from a demonstrated capability into a scalable, mission-ready solution that enables power generation, distribution, and battery charging while on the move—whether mounted in vehicles or carried by dismounted operators. The expanded offering includes a vehicle mounting solution for the SPM, developed in collaboration with Juggernaut.Case™, and a Mobile Power Pack, created with Haley Strategic™, providing a fully integrated, modular option for dismounted power and radio management.

The SPM Vehicle Mount securely installs the Squad Power Manager across a wide range of vehicle platforms, supporting rapid installation, clean cable routing, vibration protection, and tool-free removal for dismounted operations. Designed to accommodate varied vehicle interiors and mission needs, the mount offers multiple attachment options, allowing units to position the SPM where it is most accessible. Tested to relevant MIL-STD environmental requirements, the mount supports reliable power access while vehicles are in motion, allowing soldiers to arrive at the point of dismount with charged batteries and powered equipment.

Complementing the vehicle configuration, the Mobile Power Pack offers a complete, ready-to- deploy backpack-based solution designed to carry the SPM, SoloPack™ batteries, radios, cabling, and associated accessories in a single optimized loadout. Developed with Haley Strategic, the pack integrates modular organization panels, cable routing, and ergonomic load distribution to support communications-heavy roles and extended operations

Todd Stirtzinger, CEO at Galvion, said: “Charge on the Move was always envisioned as more than a single configuration—it’s about giving units flexible options to manage power across platforms and phases of a mission. These integrations reflect how operators actually work, and how partners can help accelerate deployable capability rather than one-off prototypes.” He added: “By working with established industry partners, Galvion continues to expand our power and data ecosystem beyond standalone hardware, offering validated configurations that can be adopted as accessories or tailored into program-specific kits.”

The Charge on the Move vehicle mount and mobile pack are available as accessories for existing Squad Power Manager systems and can be incorporated into customized power and communications kits based on mission and user requirements.
