The Army Game Project, the team behind the US Army sponsored video game, America’s Army, had a booth at AUSA. They were giving away the latest issue of the America’s Army comic book, which we honestly had no idea even existed.

America’s Army Comic At AUSA
Saturday, October 26th, 2013AUSA – 3M/Ceradyne
Friday, October 25th, 2013Late last year 3M purchased armor producer Ceradyne. At this year’s AUSA Annual Meeting & Expo Ceradyne displayed their wares in the 3M booth. This new helmet, the 3M “Defender” Ultra Light Weight Ballistic Bump Helmet caught my eye but I was not allowed to photograph it. However, they did hand me a brochure. It leverages the technology they developed for the USMC’s Enhanced Combat Helmet program. I though I’d share the brochure with you. Hopefully, we’ll be able to share more at SHOT Show.
AUSA – GuardBot Inc

The Spherical Amphibious Robot System looks like something the BC comic strip character Thor would have invented had his timeline been long enough.
The SARS does looks like a wheel with cameras (or other sensors) on either side but but that’s where the similarity ends. Unlike the BC wheel, SARS is amphibious and is propelled by an internal pendulum to control the center of gravity meaning forward and rearward movement as well as 360 Deg turns. It can be manually operated or preprogrammed with a GPS track and rolls along, in virtual silence. It offers about 4-6 hours of endurance and a top speed of 6mph on land and 4 mph on water. Finally, SARS can negotiate a 30 Deg slope.

Here, their Director of Business Development, Matt Fisher briefs the Norwegian Army Chief of Staff, Major General Rune Jacobsen, and Deputy Armaments Director, John Laugerud on the SharePack system.

AUSA – Coloring Books You’ve Got To Get
Wednesday, October 23rd, 2013
I picked up two coloring books at AUSA in the Small Arms Review booth; “Machine Guns of World War I” and “Machine Gun Inventors”. Pretty cool for the little guys, or if you are into that sort of thing.
