Australia Deputy Prime Minister Visits DroneShield Facility

Monday, June 24th, 2024

DroneShield Ltd (ASX:DRO) (DroneShield or the Company) is pleased to advise that Hon Richard Marles, Deputy Prime Minister of Australia and Minister for Defence, has visited the new DroneShield Sydney facility in mid June.

DroneShield was included into the Australian Government’s Ukraine aid package in late 2023, contributing its rapidly deployable C-UAS sensors and effectors, and was approximately half of the total package amount at the time ($10m out of the $20m total). Its products are continued to be used on the frontlines in Ukraine to stop Russian drones, as well as a substantive number of other locations globally.

The Company has moved into the new and substantially enlarged premises earlier this year, with the facility currently hosting approximately 130 staff, including over 100 engineers, as well as operations, business and corporate teams. With a larger own manufacturing floor combined with growing outsourced manufacturing capacity, DroneShield has a current manufacturing capacity of approximately $400m per annum. All of DroneShield’s R&D and manufacturing is done in Australia.

Hon Richard Marles receiving a brief at the DroneShield facility

Hon Richard Marles, Deputy Prime Minister of Australia and Minister for Defence, commented: “DroneShield is an example of an Australian high-tech success story, with world-class cutting edge local R&D and manufacturing, and growing exports around the world, with focus on the US.”

Oleg Vornik, DroneShield CEO, commented: “Over the last 10 years, DroneShield has become a global leader in AI-powered C-UAS solutions. Critically in the current geopolitical environment, it is also a significant sovereign manufacturer. We are pleased to have had an opportunity to brief the Deputy Prime Minister on our operations, and look forward continuing to support Australia and its allies with our advanced technologies.”

Mattermost Partners with BrainGu and goTenna to Enable Tactical ChatOps With Delivery of Low-Bandwidth TAK Integration, Completes $1.25 Million SBIR Phase II

Monday, June 24th, 2024

The partnerships deliver innovative software to enhance transmission of mission-critical intelligence from ops to edge and support next-generation technology

Palo Alto, Calif., June 24, 2024 – Mattermost, Inc., a leader in secure collaboration for mission-critical work in complex environments, today announced that it has completed its $1.25 million Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract, delivering mission-critical ChatOps capabilities for the Air Force Research Laboratory’s (AFRL) Tactical Assault Kit (TAK) and ATAK operating systems.

Built in collaboration with the development team at BrainGu, a leader in mission software solutions, the Mattermost integration for TAK improves distributed collaboration and enhances warfighter efficiency, safety and accuracy. Developed to improve TAK’s tactical chat function by providing secure, enterprise-grade ChatOps capabilities, the plugin also leverages the Mattermost open-source secure collaboration platform’s self-hosting capabilities, enabling teams to retain full data ownership and meet communications security (COMSEC) requirements. Additionally, with support from BrainGu, the Mattermost integration creates an extension for TAK capabilities, laying the foundation for future capabilities such as AI-enabled decision support tools.

“We’re pleased to address a demonstrated capability gap with the delivery of the Mattermost integration for TAK, enabling our operators to leverage streamlined ChatOps functionality that facilitates the mission-critical transmission of intelligence,” said Corey Hulen, co-founder and CTO of Mattermost. “In partnership with BrainGu and goTenna, we’ve developed this integration to satisfy the Department of Defense’s need for primary, alternate, contingent and emergency communications protocol.”

In addition to the secure ChatOps plugin, Mattermost and BrainGu also worked closely with goTenna, the world’s leading mobile mesh networking platform, to develop and deliver transmission-layer integrations for TAK on goTenna’s mesh radios, addressing challenges associated with low-bandwidth communications and providing resilient, decentralized connectivity. The goTenna plugin also offers support for ATAK systems, enabling seamless connectivity with TAK servers and ensuring scalability and reliability in diverse operational environments.

With new collaboration features now available, 350,000 civilian, DoD and partner TAK users can leverage the secure chat integration and low-bandwidth capabilities to effectively communicate mission-critical information between operational teams at the tactical edge and their forward operating bases (FOB) in near-real-time. The completion of this contract marks Mattermost’s second completed SBIR Phase II this year, just two months after the company announced the completion of its first contract with delivery of its message acknowledgment and urgency capabilities for the 618th AOC.

SIG SAUER To Appeal Verdict

Monday, June 24th, 2024

NEWINGTON, N.H., (June 21, 2024) – SIG SAUER strongly disagrees with the verdict in the case of Lang v. Sig Sauer, Inc. and will be appealing the decision on multiple grounds.

SIG SAUER does not believe that Plaintiff has met his burden to prove the P320 model pistolwas designed defectively or negligently as claimed. There are no facts on the record to support that Mr. Lang’s discharge claim was the result of anything other than his own negligent handling causing him to pull the trigger on the P320 pistol. Plaintiff and both his experts testified that they do not know what pulled the trigger or how the trigger was pulled, and they did not attempt to conduct any testing to confirm how the trigger could have been pulled, other than by Mr. Lang’s own finger.

In this case, the plaintiff, Mr. Lang, initially admitted to the police that he accidentally discharged his gun while pulling it out of the holster, then later changed his story, stating that the firearm discharged without a trigger pull. However, the Plaintiff’s story notably changed again, after hiring trial experts who agreed that the SIG SAUER P320 could not discharge without the trigger being pulled.

The design of the SIG SAUER P320 model pistol is truly innovative and safe, with numerous related patents, including several relating to safetymechanisms. It is among the most tested, proven, and successful handguns in recent history, with versions being selected as the official sidearm of the U.S., Canadian, Australian, and Danish militaries, among many other military and law enforcement organizations worldwide. SIG SAUER is extremely proud of our long history of producing high-quality firearms and our unwavering dedication to safety.

Why Choose a Compensator for Your SIG P365?

The SIG P365 series is renowned for its compact size, reliability, and accuracy, making it a popular choice for concealed carry and personal defense. However, its small size can result in noticeable muzzle rise and recoil, affecting shooting speed and precision. A compensator, such as the Faxon EXOS, attaches to the firearm’s threaded barrel, redirecting gases to counteract barrel movement during firing. This enhances shooting accuracy, control, and comfort, making it an essential upgrade for SIG P365 users.

Threaded Barrel Compatibility: Seamlessly fits onto the SIG P365’s threaded barrel, offering easy and secure installation.

Effective Gas Redirection: Innovative port configuration effectively reduces muzzle rise and felt recoil.

Lightweight and Compact: Adds minimal weight, preserving the firearm’s balance and handling.

Aesthetic Appeal: Sleek, modern design complements the SIG P365 series, adding a professional and tactical look.

Performance Benefits:

The Faxon EXOS Pistol Compensator enhances shooting accuracy by reducing muzzle rise and recoil. It allows shooters to maintain a steady sight picture and deliver more precise shots, even during rapid fire. Its lightweight design ensures it doesn’t compromise the firearm’s maneuverability, making it an ideal choice for competitive and personal defense scenarios.

Comparing the Faxon EXOS Pistol Compensator to Competing Models:

The Faxon EXOS outperforms popular models such as the Herrington Arms HC365, Parker Mountain Machine PMM JTTc, and the MCARBO compensators. It offers superior gas redirection, easier installation, and a more aesthetically pleasing design.

Upgrade Your SIG P365 with the Faxon EXOS Pistol Compensator

The Faxon EXOS Pistol Compensator is a top-tier option for those looking to enhance their SIG P365, P365XL, or P365 XMacro. Its superior design, high-quality materials, and performance benefits make it a standout choice.
