Raven Concealment Systems Announces Signature Reduction from MATBOCK for Holsters and Accessories
Tuesday, December 7th, 2021Raven Concealment Systems announced today an exciting new partnership with MATBOCK to provide Near-IR compliant signature reduction for the RCS product line.
The result of this partnership is that RCS will now be able to offer their holsters and magazine carriers clad with MATBOCK Skins. The Skins provide significant signature reduction under both visible light and infrared/night vision, while also reducing noise signature of anything that scrapes against the outside of the holster.
MATBOCK introduced the Skins over a year ago, and since that time, they have been used extensively on helmets, dive fins, night vision goggles, and countless other pieces of kit where durable signature reduction was required.
Michael Goerlich, owner of Raven Concealment Systems explains:
“Normally, when we talk about how great our holsters are at ‘concealment,’ we’re talking about how we designed them to hug your body very closely to make it easier to hide them under clothing.
But for some missions, ‘concealment’ means something completely different. Sometimes, the holster needs to blend in with a uniform. Sometimes, it needs to be Near-IR Compliant so that it doesn’t show up as a glowing orb when someone is looking at you through night-vision goggles.
Some companies will use hydro-dip to put a Multicam pattern on their holsters. This kinda ‘looks’ like Multicam (if you don’t look too closely) but it doesn’t do anything to reduce noise signature, and it actually makes your gear stand out even more under night-vision than if they had just left it black.
Other companies accomplish signature reduction by gluing Cordura nylon onto their holsters. While that method does help with signature reduction, the MATBOCK Skins provide equal or superior signature reduction while also weighing less and being much more precisely fitted – which means they also happen to look significantly better in daylight, when your friends are admiring your gear.
This is why we are so excited to announce this partnership: MATBOCK now provides our product-line the best Near-IR compliant signature reduction solution available on the market.”
Just in time for the holidays, RCS has released a special bundle of their products featuring MATBOCK Skins. Each bundle includes a Lictor M4 rifle magazine carrier, a Lictor G9 dual pistol magazine carrier, and your choice of either a Glock 19 or a Sig P320C/M18 Perun, all shipped with Multicam MATBOCK Skins factory-installed.

Fibrotex – Camo Trio Operational View
Wednesday, November 3rd, 2021Fibrotex’ Signature Management Systems are designed to be adaptable to the mission and the asset that needs to be concealed. The Fibrotex team is constantly adapting to the ever-changing battlefield requirements. The three elements of total force concealment are Mobile, Static, and dismounted troops signature management, they rely and depend on each other. Without all of them, our operational abilities are reduced and end-up placing our operators in harms way.
The Systems listed below are a few of the more popular solutions within the Fibrotex arsenal.
The Ultra-Lightweight Camouflage Net System (ULCANS). While already a program of records accessible to all US DOD branches, it is the workhorse of Fibrotex’ Signature Management systems. With the proper amount of Hex and diamonds linked together, you can cover any asset within the Military’s inventory. With the UV, VIS, NIR, SWIR, Thermal, and RADAR scattering capabilities. Our unique app, amongst other information and tactical guidelines, has a section that lists typical configurations (the App ULCNAS is available both on google play and on the Apple App store). This shows common military vehicles and other assets and the ULCANS sections required and in what order to properly conceal that asset. This is just one of several resources that can be found for the end-user.

The Sophia kit is the brainchild between French Commandos and our CEO, Eyal Malleron. It is the true and only DIY (do-it-yourself) kit in the field. 2.6 meters by 33 running meters of material rated for UV, VIS, NIR, SWIR, and thermal spectrums fitted into a kitbag with ruck straps, a hook-pile tape opening at the top, and snap links at the bottom. It is restricted only by the end-user’s creativity. The material has a crush factor making a 3-D effect without the extra weight or excessive snagging. Perfect for hiding unique items.

33 meters doesn’t sound like a lot of material until you see it stretched out in front of you.
The NOA is a favorite of the Fibrotex Signature Management Systems. Capabilities ranging from UV, Vis, NIR, SWIR, and thermal and 30% denser than the ULCANS material to cater to the dismounted troops. With the ability to be worn on the body and then linked together to be used as an OP Kit. It’s also strong enough of a material to be used as a pole-less litter in the event of a casualty. With multiple uses, it cuts down on the overall weight of the shooter’s kit.

The Nightwalker is a niche signature management suit that focuses on the thermal spectrum. Best used for Long Offset leaders Recon, Y-Offset Raids, and amphibious insertions. The material is similar to a tracksuit and is extremely lightweight.

The longer you work with these systems in the field the more uses and better techniques you can develop. Every repetition leads to a higher chance of mission success. Unseen, Unbeaten!
