Tuesday, June 5th, 2012

This is the new TYR Tactical PICO-MV Rough Low Vis Carrier. You can adapt all of their current and future PICO cummerbunds to these new carriers. You can also change out the front flat flap to one of their 5.56, 7.62 or MOLLE flaps. It’s a very scalable system and and comes in PICO, MV (MBAV) and MVW (PICO-MV with soft armor wrapped in the wings) variants. This one is the MV version which fits the current SOF MBAV Shape ballistics and has an internal plate pocket that adjusts to fit a variety of plate sizes and shapes.

SLAAP Plate

Monday, June 4th, 2012

We took these photos during SOFIC in a behind-closed-door unveiling of several new Ops-Core technologies. Despite rumors to the contrary, Ops-Core is thriving and has developed several new products that will be rolling out soon. These photos in particular, showcase the new Super Light Armor Applique Plate developed for the Ops-Core FAST Ballistic Helmet by Velocity Systems.

One of those new technologies we mentioned is this skeleton VAS shroud just peeking out from under the SLAAP. You can also discern the design of the SLAAP. You may notics that the plate is slightly raised around the VAS.

Below, you can see the SLAAP dismounted from the helmet and the Velcro strips used to hold it fast.

Remember, the Super Light Armor Applique Plate works in conjunction with the Ops-Core FAST Ballistic Helmet to defeat the 7.62 x 39mm FMJ with mild steel core penetrator threat.

IA Blast Belt

Friday, May 25th, 2012

UK’s Intelligent Armour offers this Multicam Blast Belt made from 500D Crye Multicam Cordura consisting of an inner, sized riggers belt and an external armored, load carrying belt. It uses Dyneema to offer a ballistic rating equivalent to NIJ IIIA. The size and shape of belted armor systems cannot be tested to NIJ standards so firms utilize packages that are certified but in the belt shape.
