Fibrotex’ 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!

Brooklyn, NY – October 18, 2021 – Crye Precision®, one of the leading suppliers of uniforms and personal equipment to the military, law enforcement and public safety markets, has announced the release of their new ATO – Alpine Terrain Operations ™ line of outerwear, with the first two products, the ATO Mid Loft Jacket™ and the ATO Mid Loft Pant ™.
Each item in the ATO Mid Loft™ line is designed to provide warmth and wind protection while avoiding overheating. Constructed with a durable wind resistant nylon fabric that is lightweight and packable, combined with the Polartec® Alpha® Direct insulation, which does not require a lining layer, reduces the overall bulk but maintains a high Clo value. The insulation is also highly breathable which allows for optimal ventilation during high activity in cold temperatures.
The ATO™ Mid Loft Jacket is designed to fit over the Crye Precision G3/G4 Uniform and Aclima® baselayer tops, and under the Compact Alpine Overwhites and High Loft Jacket. It can be worn as a concealment outer layer in warmer temperatures and an insulation layer in the cold.
The ATO™ Mid Loft Pant features an adjustable waist, glove compatible zippers, and pass-through hand pockets to access under layers. Full side leg zips for easy donning/doffing over boots. ¾ Length to allow a better fit when worn with ski boots and provide warmth at crucial areas of leg. It can be worn over the Crye Precision G3/G4 Uniform and Aclima® baselayer pants, and under the High Loft Pant.
The Crye Precision® design team met extensively with those serving in extreme climates, to better understand their needs. Each in-depth interview consisted of understanding operational demands, reviewing currently issued uniforms, and climate difficulties. Based on the end-user feedback, the new ATO line provides mobility and functionality for optimal operations.
In addition to the ATO line, Crye Precision has officially partnered with Norwegian wool specialists, Aclima® to bring an innovative and military-tested base layering system. Aclima® is family-owned and has been developing cold weather solutions since 1939. They specialize in Merino wool base layers for all climates, activity levels, and professions. Wool has the unique ability to insulate as well as wick moisture from the body. It also has a natural anti-microbial trait that reduces odor. Both the WoolNet and HotWool layers integrate with our G3 and G4 uniforms. They can be worn underneath in cold environments to add scalable layers of insulation. These unique features and Aclima’s creative design made them the logical choice to pair with the ATO cold weather line.
The ATO Uniforms and Aclima® baselayers are available now, through the Crye Precision® website, www.cryeprecision.com. As always, contact Crye Precision® for any customizations to orders.
Available Soon from www.beezcombatsystems.com.
