Helmet Light Mount with 360? Rotational Indexing

Sunnyvale, CA – Thyrm® is excited to announce that the VariArc® Helmet Mount is now available for helmets with M-LOK® rails. Featuring positive indexing at forward, umbrella and admin angles, the VariArc mount directs light right where you need it with a quick twist.

Its reinforced polymer construction is built to remain fully functional through extreme temperatures, dirt, dust, sand, water, drops on concrete, and other rough handling.

Features include:

Positively locks in the forward index position

Picatinny accessory rail with 3 slots and 4 ridges

Retention holes on both ends for dummy wiring critical gear

Durable, reinforced polymer construction with steel hardware

AUSA 21 – Safran Optics 1 SLAM D

Monday, October 11th, 2021

Safran Optics 1’s Small Lightweight Acquisition Marker Designator (SLAM D) fills the role of multiple battlefield devices; a tripod-mountable high-power designator, a high-power NIR pointer with pulse feature, a see-spot observation device with laser spot tracking and PRF code counting, and a handheld laser acquisition marker. Designed for one handed operation, it was envisioned to safely designate a target at 5 km but in testing they have performed out past 8 km.

SLAM D’s high-performance Asynchronous Laser Pulse Detection SWIR camera core detects, tracks and brackets laser energy while deciphering up to three laser PRF codes simultaneously.

SLAM D serves as a STANAG 3733 compliant laser device, filling the role of long- range designation and LGB hosting during TGO. The user can program up to three different PRF code presets to allow the user to quickly cycle between codes to designate for different CAS aircraft, or set the code on the fly when an air weapons team checks on station unexpectedly.

Above, you can see the bottom of the SLAM D which gives a better view of the controls and tripod mount.

Additionally, Safran Optics 1 donated $10,000 today to Fisher House which provides housing for military families receiving medical care at major military and veteran medical care facilities.

Introducing the TNVC EXCLUSIVE ECHO Arms CQBL Intergrated Light Mount (ILM)

Thursday, September 16th, 2021

The ECHO Arms CQBL Integrated Light Mount (ILM) is a machined 6061 aluminum replacement body for all Surefire 3v Scout Lights and compatible tailcaps and heads with an integrated mount that allows it to be used with the Steiner eOptics CQBL-1 IR/VIS Laser Aiming Module by replacing the factory CQBL rail mounting bracket.

The low profile, one-piece body design closely hugs the CQBL-1, giving users a complete IR/VIS Aiming Laser and integrated weapon light – when combined with a dual spectrum light like the Surefire M3xxV family, the ECHO Arms CQBL ILM gives the user complete IR AIM/ILLUM and VIS AIM/White Light capabilities in a compact package that is less than 4.5″ long, 6.3″ wide, and 1.4″ tall, making it ideal for PDW, SMG, and PCC applications where rail space and accessory mounting and integration space is extremely limited.

Made exclusively for TNVC, the ECHO Arms CQBL ILM is available in both Black and Tan anodized finishes and includes a replacement mounting screw to install the light mount.

For a LIMITED TIME ONLY, TNVC is offering specially priced CQBL ILM Bundles including a Steiner eOptics CQBL-1 laser system and Surefire M300V Dual Spectrum Vampire Light, starting at $1,229.80 – a savings of almost $300 from MSRP, and available in both Black and Tan.

The bundle package provides users with a COMPLETE, full-service IR/Visible Accessory suite for smaller weapons with a 250 lumen White Light and Red Visible Aiming Laser and 100 mW IR illuminator and 0.7 mW IR aiming laser for less than the cost of most Multi-Function Aiming Lasers in a much more compact package.
