MDM – Massif

Friday, September 25th, 2015

Massif has long been known for their FR clothing solutions and the two items they showed me did not disappoint.

FR Cool Knit T-shirt

Designed to work in conjunction with Massif’s Fire and Ice Layering System, the FR Cool Knit is a moistire wicking fabric with a soft interior and four-way stretch for next-to-skin comfort. Flat seams don’t bunch up. Offered in Black and Coyote Tan.

Nitro Knit T-shirt

Nitro Knit utilizes No Drip No Melt fabric technology from 37.5 for when you dont need full FR protection. The shirts are moisture wicking, have a comfortable hand, flat seams and are great for day-to-day wear. Offered in Black and Tan.

MDM – Rigid Plate Carrier from National Molding

Friday, September 25th, 2015

We first showed you National Molding’s Rigid Plate Carrier during last year’s Modern Day Marine Expo. Since then, they’ve continued to refine their design and begun to garner some interest in the technology.

Below, you can see the components of the RPC which encapsulates the plate. The plate can be removed for inspection or replacement. You can also see that the RPC incorporates National Molding’s Quad Release.

Finally, this photo depicts a translucent RPC panel, used in ballistic testing. They have demonstrated rather promising containment of projectile spall.

MDM – Amphibious Combat Vehicle

Friday, September 25th, 2015

Proposed solution for Phase I of the USMC’s Amphibious Combat Vehicle program dominated the show floor with four companies displaying their systems. ACV is intended as a replacement for the Amphibious Assault Vehicle and replaces the Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle program cancelled in 2011. Phase I plans to purchase COTS wheeled vehicles which can be brought ashore using LCACs. Eventually, phase II will result in an actual amphibious armored vehicle that can come ashore under its own steam from the do well of an amphibious assault ship.

MDM – Amazing What Shows Up In The MARSOC Booth

Thursday, September 24th, 2015

I’m not sure which impresses me more; the places I see the SIG MCX show up, or that MARSOC is the Honey Badger of SOF. They definitely have no issue doing it their way. This is by no means an indication of adoption but it’s good to see that are checking things out and have no qualms about acknowledging it.

Noticeably absent from this impressive display of weapons? The M45A1 CQBP.
