UVR Defense Tech Photographs PenCott Camo in Visual, near-Infra-Red and near-Ultraviolet

Monday, December 10th, 2012

UVR Defense Tech has photographed Hyde Definition’s PenCott GreenZone and BadLands patterns printed on 50/50 NYCO in the visible, near-IR, and near-UV portions of the electromagnetic spectrum.

UVR Defense Tech applied their patented “UVRC-A 7%” treatment to the left panel in the photos. It’s a permanent micro-thin nano-particle film that is transparent to the visible and near-IR wavelengths, yet reflects an amount of ultraviolet light consistent with the surrounding environment. In the example below, the UVRC-A 7% treated fabric blends with the natural foliage that reflects up to 7% of the ambient ultraviolet light.

From top to bottom, the images show – Visible Light, near-IR, and near-UV:

This indicates how UV reflectance affects camouflage as well as the implications of UVR Defense Tech’s solution.

U.S. Tactical Supply now has the capability to produce custom IR Patches and Call Signs.

(Some patterns restricted to government customers only)

The samples you see illustrate that USTS can produce simple colors such as Green/Tan as well as more complex patterns. In addition, hey can render both simple text as well as a more complicated patterns such as insignia.

Guy Cramer Talks Camo on CNN

Thursday, December 6th, 2012

Filmed in August, CNN broadcast a report by Chris Lawrence entitled “New technology makes troops invisible.”

He interviews Guy Cramer of Canada’s HyperStealth Biotechnology Corp and partner of ADS Inc in their bid to win the US Army’s ongoing Camouflage Improvement Effort. The ADS/Cramer team produced the finalist US4CES pattern. Rumor has it that the Chief of Staff of the Army will be briefed this week on the results of the extensive testing undertaken to find a new family of camouflage patterns for use the the Army.

Cramer goes on to very briefly discuss his Quantum Stealth technology. As I understand it, CNN spent more than an hour with Cramer and yet edited it down to less than three minutes. It’s too bad because we want to hear Cramer speak more about his advanced camouflage concepts.

Assault Plate Carrier in Kryptek Highlander

Monday, November 26th, 2012

Check out this prototype Assault Plate Carrier in Kryptek Highlander produced by Velocity Systems. Kryptek is one of four finalists in the US Army Camouflage Improvement Effort and Highlander is their transitional pattern. The APC is a Mayflower Research & Consulting design, but don’t worry. Mayflower and Velocity work together on a wide variety of projects. Although this is a one-off, I’d hazard that it’s safe to say that this is a portent of things to come.

Word Notebooks

Sunday, November 25th, 2012

These pocket sized Word Notebooks feature 48 lined pages and come in packs of three. They also incorporate the Word Bullet Point System seen below.

They come in six colors including three camo prints. As you can see (from right to left) there is Duck Hunter which they refer to as “Tan”, a Swedish print and a MultiCamesque pattern that Word Notebooks calls “Traditional Camo.” I’m sure Crye will be impressed with that one. Made in the USA.
