Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal today opened a new electro-optics facility at Thermoteknix in Cambridge, and presented the company with the King’s Award for Enterprise trophy for Innovation, in recognition of the company’s groundbreaking development in thermal imaging.

Employing 75 people, Thermoteknix was established in 1982 by Managing Director DrRichard Salisbury. The company manufactures a wide range of industrial and surveillance infrared based systems. With more than 40 years of milestones and groundbreaking innovation, the company made history in 2009 when its thermal imaging cameras were used by NASA on its successful LCROSS moon landing mission which identified the presence of lunar sub-surface water.

Thermoteknix has been the recipient of five such prestigious Queen’s and King’s Awards in recognition of its innovation and sales success in overseas trade, helping to promote the United Kingdom’s status as a world leader in design, manufacturing and customer success.

The Princess Royal toured Thermoteknix’ headquarters in Cambridge, during which Her Royal Highness was given demonstrations of the company’s thermal imaging products, including cameras and systems which reduce industrial Carbon emissions, and fused night vision goggles which deliver UK forces with superior situational awareness and Augmented Reality capabilities.

The Princess Royal, attended by Mrs. Julie Spence, Lord-Lieutenant of Cambridge, greeted Thermoteknix employees from each department, and formally opened the new electro-optics facility and presented The King’s Award for Enterprise trophy to Managing Director, Dr Richard Salisbury.

The Princess Royal then unveiled a commemorative plaque to mark her visit.

The new electro-optics facility will support the company’s growth and increased demand for its thermal imaging products by forces around the world.

Dr Salisbury commented: “It was an absolute privilege to host Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal at our headquarters in Cambridge, and to receive the King’s Award for Enterprise trophy form her. We are delighted to have had the opportunity to present our exceptional staff to Her Majesty. This Award is a testimony to their skills, dedication and commitment. The visit marks a crowning moment for Thermoteknix as we celebrate and prepare for the year ahead with new product launches and expansion of our work force.”

“The King’s Awards are one of the UK’s most prestigious awards, and to have had the pleasure of a visit from The Princess Royal for its presentation is a massive honour which will be a lifelong memory for every one of our team at Thermoteknix.”

Strike Industries Releases a New Concussion Reduction Device: The Oppressor LITE V2

Wednesday, February 5th, 2025

Strike Industries is proud to introduce the latest evolution in concussion reduction technology—the Strike Oppressor Lite V2. Designed to deliver high performance in a lightweight package, the Oppressor Lite V2 provides shooters with a no-compromise solution for gas redirection and recoil management.

Weighing in at only 5 ounces, the Oppressor Lite V2 is nearly half the weight of the original Oppressor (9.5 oz.), offering enhanced maneuverability without sacrificing durability. Installation has also been streamlined, requiring only half the amount of rotations compared to the original model, allowing for rapid attachment and removal from your muzzle device.

The inner core of the Oppressor Lite V2 is crafted from hardened steel, while the outer shell is constructed from lightweight aluminum. This innovative design includes 18 strategically placed venting holes, preventing carbon lock and ensuring seamless operation.

The Strike Oppressor series represents the finest in Concussion Reduction Devices on the market, and the Lite V2 is a natural evolution of this technology. With its hybrid design, the Oppressor Lite V2 serves as the little brother to the original Oppressor while drawing inspiration from the Oppressor Universal, giving users the best of both worlds.

The Oppressor family of muzzle devices is engineered to redirect gas pressure produced by aggressive brakes and compensators. Advanced internal geometry actively draws gases out and thrusts them forward through vents, delivering efficient linear braking. This design is particularly beneficial for shooters transitioning into prone positions, training indoors, or operating in close-quarters environments where minimizing side blast is critical.

The Strike Oppressor Lite V2 is now available through authorized dealers and Strike Industries’ official website. For more information, visit www.strikeindustries.com or contact the Strike Team at mkt@strikeindustries.com.
