Post SHOT Show Wrapup – CORE Survival’s PIM for Hel-Star 6

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2016

Program Interface Module For Field Re-Programming of the HEL-STAR 6 & F2

The PIM-701 is a handheld, wireless device that allows military users to re-program the four functions of selected HEL-STAR 6 and F2 models in the field. The PIM itself is programmed through a USB connection to a Windows-based computer or laptop using software that is included with and downloaded from the PIM. Setting new functions in the PIM is handled through an easy to learn, image-oriented graphical user interface.

The PIM functions wirelessly through an infrared (IR) interface with the HEL-STAR over distances of a few feet. The PIM can either re-program any or all of the four factory-installed functions (the NEW PGM button), or to return the HEL-STAR to its original factory settings (the DEFAULT button). The HEL-STAR device provides visible or visible and vibratory confirmation of both program mode readiness and acceptance of the new program or default instructions. The PIM re-programming system provides various protocols and automatic time-outs to prevent inadvertent re-programming and
conserve battery capacity.

AUSA – Bluewater Defense & Vorbeck Introduce Wearable Antenna

Wednesday, October 14th, 2015

I walked up to the Bluewater Defense booth and noticed that they were sharing it with an electronics company named Vorbeck.  Intrigued, I introduced myself to the Vorbeck team and they started to show me what they were up to.  About a minute into the presentation on their flexible 4G LTE antenna I was hooked.  

  

The technology is a printed graphene broadband antenna on a thin substrate that can be encapsulated between pieces of fabric for concealment into clothing or equipment.  Testing indicates it doubles the range of a cell phone.  

The frequency range is 824-894, 1850-1990, and 2400-2500 MHz.  Additionally, it has 50 Ohms impedance and 2:1 VSWR ratio.  While it’s currently tailored for 4G, the technology offers a great deal of opportunity.  In addition to cellular use for transmitting voice and data, it can also be used for Tagging, Tracking & Locating of friendly, threat and other targets of interest.  I can’t wait to see how Bluewater Defense integrates this technology into clothing and lad carriage.

Savox Communications DSEI Preview Press Release

High Impact, DSEI 2015 Presence for Savox Communications

· Pivotal European launch of future soldier headgear system expected to turn heads

· Contract wins and latest compact intercom C3I communications developments

Espoo, Finland, September, 2015 – Leading provider of C3I and communications solutions for defence, security and professional public safety users, Savox Communications, will be exhibiting at the World Leading Defence and Security event, DSEI 2015 (15-18 September), at ExCel, London, (Stand N5-442). At the show, Savox will launch the latest variants of its combat headgear system and its compact intercom C3I solution into the European market. The company will also be making a further major announcement at the event.

Taking pride of place on the Savox stand will be its THOR Combat Headgear System, which will be unveiled to a European audience for the first time – not simply to look at, but also to try out for themselves. Already adopted for use by its first customer, the Finnish Defence Force, THOR is an ideal component for the many future infantry soldier modernisation programmes underway globally. It has a major role to play on tomorrow’s battlefields, whether in traditional combat scenarios, or in urban counter-terrorism and security operations, homeland security and Special Forces’ ops.

Also to be showcased at DSEI, the company’s compact intercom system, IMP-CH. Visitors will be able to experience IMP-CH through a working simulation demonstrating its capabilities, daily, throughout the event. IMP-CH has been developed to meet the most demanding C3I requirements for applications aboard the widest B-vehicle inventory on land. At sea, IMP-CH is suited for use aboard small vessels, such as RIBs and larger ships, including corvettes, destroyers and aircraft carriers.

Mikael Westerlund, Savox Communications’ SVP Global Marketing, said, “DSEI is a milestone for Savox, as we demonstrate our strengths in communications and security solutions, gained over 30 years, to an audience with limited experience of our capabilities. We expect to surprise them.

“Both THOR and IMP-CH, the two highlights on our stand, meet the evolving needs of a range of demanding defence and security end users; introducing them into Europe promises to be very exciting, as we make our mark firmly as a defence industry player. For its part, the THOR Combat Headgear System on display will offer visitors a vision of the soldier of the future; as for IMP-CH, we are expecting some good news on that front at the show, so watch this space! ”
