Warrior Expo – Juggernaut Defense
Thursday, April 30th, 2015I first saw the Radio Dock several years ago during a visit to Juggernaut’s HQ. While they’ve been offered to various programs, they’ve never been a standard product, until now. 
The Radio.Dock was designed to attach directly to the PALS webbing on armor to house any bottom-battery tactical radio in the inventory (148/152 style battery). The Radio.Dock™ utilizes a rugged battery eliminator with capability to be power-only or power/data capable. Thales even uses it with their 148’s with Mission-Modules on the back. The open configuration effectively allows all of the data-sidehats to stay attached and the face of the radio to be protected while allowing much of the radio housing and the top half of the battery housing to stay exposed for conducting heat off the radio (very critical). The radio is secured via the patent pending PPIP and BOA-Closure System allowing the user to pivot the radio away from the armor to interface with the display/control on the faceplate.
The Radio.Holster on the other hand is a sub-$100 alternative to the Radio.Dock for those who don’t need a data connection. It still has the PPIP and Boa-Closure System with a ‘battery-cup’ rather than the bayonet features used on the Radio.Dock™ to create the Radio.Holster™. 
Both are PALS compatible. Available from www.juggernautcase.com

Digital Close Air Support – BDATech Test Success

Black Diamond recently completed another successful Forward Air Control Utility Suite (FAC-US) SADL test with the A-10. This test completed full SADL messages to A10. Congratulations to the entire BDAT SW team for completing something that has never been so simple and accurate to use, and also dramatically increasing Sensor Point of Interest accuracy. This is going to revolutionize CAS with this platform.
Revision Military Showcases Capabilities
Thursday, January 29th, 2015Revision Military is so much more than eyepro. Over the past several years they’ve purchased a company or three and expanded their capabilities to provide a holistic soldier protection solution. Although they have been involved in USSOCOM’s TALOS program, it was more a conduit to showcase what they’ve done than a driver of innovation. They were already well on their own path when former Commander, USSOCOM, ADM McRaven called on industry to develop an “ironman” suit.
Revision has been way out in front of everyone else bringing this all in house. Hopefully, their hard work will be rewarded.
