AUSA – Close Up of National Molding’s Rigid Plate Carrier PALS Compatible Sleeve

Wednesday, October 14th, 2015

After we mentioned the National Molding Rigid Plate Carrier during Modern Day Marine, several readers were dismayed that they wouldn’t be able to carry any additional equipment on the carrier. National Moldong long ago worked this one out and originally had a very simple laser cut, bikini-style band made from Trelleborg fabric that fit around the RPC. Interstingly, the feedback they received from government customers was to go back to a tried and true Cordura and webbing PALS solution.

AUSA – Hyperstealth Biotechnology Corp

Wednesday, October 14th, 2015

Hyperstealth frontman Guy Cramer was in the ADS Inc booth sporting a uniform cut from the Ghostex Kilo 6 camouflage pattern. An international customer was well into making a procurement decision when their armed forces streamlined their camouflage patterns into two variants. Consequently, Hyperstealth is shopping the pattern.

When I passed by later, Hyperstealth had added two displays from the Mexican Marines, depicting the kit they are procuring in their new camouflage pattern, derived from work Hyperstealth did for Phase IV of the US Army’s Camouflage Improvement Effort.

Obviously, there is a great deal of influence from the USMC but I was surprised to see the RAT boot on the chart.
You’ll also note some equipment items from London Bridge.

AUSA – Bluewater Defense & Vorbeck Introduce Wearable Antenna

Wednesday, October 14th, 2015

I walked up to the Bluewater Defense booth and noticed that they were sharing it with an electronics company named Vorbeck. Intrigued, I introduced myself to the Vorbeck team and they started to show me what they were up to. About a minute into the presentation on their flexible 4G LTE antenna I was hooked.

The technology is a printed graphene broadband antenna on a thin substrate that can be encapsulated between pieces of fabric for concealment into clothing or equipment. Testing indicates it doubles the range of a cell phone.

The frequency range is 824-894, 1850-1990, and 2400-2500 MHz. Additionally, it has 50 Ohms impedance and 2:1 VSWR ratio. While it’s currently tailored for 4G, the technology offers a great deal of opportunity. In addition to cellular use for transmitting voice and data, it can also be used for Tagging, Tracking & Locating of friendly, threat and other targets of interest. I can’t wait to see how Bluewater Defense integrates this technology into clothing and lad carriage.
