CANSEC 2017 – PRE LABS

Thursday, June 1st, 2017

PRE LABS is a new armor company in Canada. It was founded by Brad Field who had also founded Pacific Safety Products here in Canada and later sold it to Armor Works. Idiscussed the new brand with Mr Field and he told me that he wanted to offer a company which focused on customer relations, working with them to give them what they need and as quickly as possible.

Duento the contract cycle, most military and federal Armor is currently under contract with other vendors. PRE LABS is concentrating on local departments, offering a full range of armor solutions.

Additionally, Mr Field informed about their new tech development which will help users determine if their armor panels have been compromised by contamination from moisture and air.

CANSEC 2017 – Regitex and Logistik Unicorp Introduce Combat Uniform Made From Hemp Fibers

Thursday, June 1st, 2017

Hemp was long used for rope as well as to produce cloth but out society dropped its use due to the plant’s other use as an illicit drug. However, in recent times, there has been some reintroduction of hemp cloth. While hemp fabrics have taken off in the jeans industry, Canadian form Logistik Unicorp, in conjunction with their subsidiary Regitex, have undertaken some exploration of the material’s use for combat uniforms.

As you can see, the fabric accepts printing very well and evaluations show the material to be quite durable. Additionally, the manufacturing process produces much less waste than syntehtics.  

CANSEC 2017 – Protonex Adaptive Battery Charger ABC- 812

Thursday, June 1st, 2017

The ABC-812 Adaptive Battery Charger works with a wide variety of batteries. What I find interesting about it is that when a new battery is introduced, Protonex creates a new adapter, called a battery cup, to allow the ABC-812 to work with it. The ABC-812 currently supports all standard US and NATO military battery types, Snap-On and DeWalt tool batteries, the Aeryon Labs “Skyranger” UAV battery, and has 4 USB ports for recharging phones, tablets, laptops, etc.

Additionally, it will charge different types of batteries at the same time and the device automatically evaluates the power source (AC wall socket, vehicle or aircraft DC plug, vehicle battery, field generator, solar blanket, wind turbine, etc.) and adjusts charge rates to maximize power and minimize charge times. For instance, the fullest battery gets charged first via pulse, allowing it to be put back in use the quickest whike the others are trickle charged. In addition to four battery bays per charger, there are also four USB ports.

The charger also monitors the lifecycle of each battery, providing the user with data on how many times each battery has been charged and discharged.

Finally, the cost per battery is cheaper than anything else on the market (ABC cost divided by number of batteries it can charge at once – less than $400 per battery vs. $1000 or more for competitor products).
