Silencer Shop Renews Tier 1 Sponsorship of ASA

Saturday, May 13th, 2023

AUSTIN, TX: The American Suppressor Association (ASA) is excited to announce that Silencer Shop has renewed their Tier 1 level sponsorship for 2023. Their renewal marks the ninth consecutive year at ASA’s top sponsorship level.

“Silencer Shop is excited to remain a Tier 1 sponsor of ASA. We support the great efforts ASA continues to make at the state and federal levels, including providing strong testimony before legislative bodies and supporting important battles in the courts to protect suppressor ownership rights,” said Dave Matheny, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Silencer Shop.

“SILENCER SHOP IS EXCITED TO REMAIN A TIER 1 SPONSOR OF ASA.”

— Dave Matheny, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Silencer Shop

Silencer Shop is the premier advocate for pro-suppressor reform. They recently partnered with the ASA-Foundation, committing $350,000 to fund a first-of-its-kind lawsuit challenging Illinois’ unconstitutional state ban on suppressor ownership. The case, Anderson v. Raoul, which was filed on February 27th, 2023, aims to overturn Illinois’ suppressor ban, allowing citizens to purchase and own suppressors for all lawful purposes.

“Silencer Shop spends more money on pro-suppressor advocacy than any other company, and it’s not even close,” said Knox Williams, President and Executive Director of ASA. “Not only are they ASA’s longest standing Tier One Sponsor, they have also committed more towards the ASA Foundation’s litigation projects than any other organization. Silencer Shop’s commitment to a safer and quieter future is truly second to none.”

Release of 2Q23 DroneSentry-C2 Platform Update

Friday, May 12th, 2023

DroneShield is pleased to announce it has today begun the rollout of a major update to the DroneSentry-C2 platform.

These enhancements are available for all DroneSentry-C2 systems deployed with DroneSentry customers globally, who are enrolled with an active firmware subscription, via secure cloud or on-prem updates.

Following the release of the ground-breaking DroneSentry-C2 SFAI (Sensor Fusion Artificial Intelligence) Engine last quarter, the DroneShield team has worked closely with its customers to refine the user experience and performance of its industry leading capability.

Major enhancements include:

• New ‘Actions’ Panel – All operator actions required for drone detection and mitigation have been centralised in single quick to use, easy to understand, ‘Actions’ panel. This panel provides real time feedback to the operator as the state of the system changes to deter the threat.

• Consolidated Notifications Panel – The previous ‘Notifications’ and ‘Alerts’ panels have been removed and consolidated into a unified ‘Notifications’ panel. The result is a cleaner user experience.

• Mode Selector from Top Bar – With SFAI, the DroneSentry-C2 can be set to run in different modes, Calibration, Monitor and Operational. These modes can now be quickly toggled between any page of the GUI.

• Improved Detection Event Detail from Analytics – Analytics now displays all relevant detection information from the ‘Replay Event’ tool just as it was for the live flight.

• Improved Radar Settings – Radar systems will automatically apply masks and filters based on the installation settings selected by the operator. This significantly reduces the amount of manual masking and filtering required.

• Enhanced WebSocket’s API – DroneSentry-C2 now supports a robust WebSocket’s based API where integrators and third-party systems can connect and received Sensor Fused objects, streamed to them in real time.

Angus Bean, DroneShield Chief Technology Officer, commented, “A key challenge for drone security is reaction time. The speed at which drones can move and their ability to be deployed in close proximity to the target often results in a window of less than 10 seconds. During this time, the system must detect the drone, the operator must assess the situation and countermeasures or otherwise appropriate responses deployed. This update ensures that the DroneShield SFAI engine for detection matches with a high-quality user interface to ensure reaction time.”

Oleg Vornik, DroneShield CEO, added, “DroneShield is unique globally, in being both a sensor developer/manufacturer, as well as designer of own Command-and-Control/C2 system. This enables streamlined end user experience with the DroneShield ecosystem, as well as flexibility to supply customers with sensors, the C2 (utilising a mix of DroneShield and third-party sensors, or both.”

Smaller, Safer, and Easy To Use: EasyOne Drone LiDAR

Friday, May 12th, 2023

Company that Launched The World’s First Quadcopter Drone Announces The New Standard For Drone LiDAR

May 9, 2023

Denver, CO- From the floor of Xponential, drone surveying pioneer Microdrones announced an entirely new drone platform built around the demands of geospatial professionals. Vivien Heriard-Dubreuil, CEO of Microdrones explains “We’re excited to announce this new drone platform that prioritizes three key areas: transportability, a simple control interface and ease of use.”

Xponential participants crowded the Microdrones booth for a closer look. “This is EasyOne,” said Frank Darmayan, company CTO, as he pointed to the display. “It fits in a case that’s about two and a half feet long and a foot and a half wide and deep. The mdCockpit mission planning screen is fully integrated into the RC. All sensitive onboard electronics are designed, manufactured and assembled in Germany. It’s just as powerful and capable as our legacy systems but it’s even easier to use.”

EasyOne is an optimized and fully integrated drone system that will provide the lifting power to carry Microdrones LiDAR and photogrammetry surveying equipment. It improves upon the company’s legacy drones in three key areas:

EasyOne is Easier to Transport.

EasyOne features a significantly smaller operational form factor with the same payload capacity of the md4-1000 platform. In addition to a smaller operational form factor, the EasyOne packs down even smaller, fitting the drone, remote, charger, two batteries and the payload into a protective storage case that’s small and light enough to bring anywhere.

EasyOne has an Improved RC Controller and mdCockpit Interface.

EasyOne will feature an entirely new controller design that provides an enhanced user interface and safety features.

• Combined device and integrated remote control- the RC and tablet are one integrated control unit.

• FPV available directly on the remote

EasyOne is easy to use.

Heriard-Dubreuil explains, “We want to make it even easier for geospatial professionals to adopt this technology and make it a part of their daily work. We offer complete systems to plan flights, fly data collection in the field, process data and then visualize it for better decision making. You are getting a fully integrated package from one company; it includes the drone, RC, mdCockpit flight planning software, survey LiDAR+ imagery payload, LP360 data processing software, workflow, training, and support. EasyOne is the complete package.”

Vincent Legrand, Vice President of Global Sales adds, “Plus, as part of the EasyOne lineup customers can take advantage of the all-new Easy Replacement Program. Should you have an accident or problem in the field, this program gets you up and running with an EasyOne replacement in a timely manner.”

True to its promise, Microdrones offers fully integrated systems and it launches the new aircraft platform in North America with three fully integrated LiDAR sensor options to meet your needs.

• EasyOneLiDARUHR+

• EasyOneLiDARUHR or UHR Lite

Designed and assembled in the USA and Germany, Microdrones technology, firmware, software and workflow developed and refined since 2006 is used with the new airframe to provide:

• new autopilot integrated into a single board- this means less cabling, less weight, more compactness and less risk of connection-related failures and better electromagnetic compatibility.

• Additional sensors to improve safety and awareness

• mdCockpit software ecosystem for mission planning and control directly integrated into the RC

• EasyOne is certified as a “Remote Identification Unmanned Aircraft” following FAA 14 CFR Part 89.

• payload connection/communication quick-connect

• real time terrain follow

According to Legrand, “Responsible sourcing is becoming increasingly important for many of our government customers. For these institutions, we will soon offer NDAA-compliant EasyOne systems that take our responsible sourcing to an even higher level, with RC and sensor sourcing options that are exclusively NDAA compliant. We are in process for Green UAS Certification.”

Cobalt Kinetics & Firearms Depot to Release Pro-Staff Inspired Signature Rifles

Friday, May 12th, 2023

May 12th, 2023: Cobalt Kinetics, a manufacturer of exquisitely designed (and expertly built) American Masterpiece firearms and accessories; is proud to announce that they will be teaming up with Firearms Depot to release two signature rifle builds designed by their Pro-Staff members. Jon Dufresne (Kinetic Consulting) & Don Edwards (Greenline Tactical) have lent their subject matter expertise to design the 11.5” CK-Pro “Bear Claw” and the 13.9” CK-Pro “Fast Eddie” platforms.

The collaboration between both companies was viewed as a great opportunity to provide customers with specialized platforms that were built using specs hand-picked by each shooter (and borrowing on years of subject matter expertise in the process). Each build will feature the same list of amazing components that makes the standard CK-Pro so amazingly accurate/ dependable, but with some tasteful upgrades too. The 11.5” & 13.9” will come equipped with Cobalt’s suppressor compatible RCB muzzle devices (Deadair Keymo on 13.9” & HUXWRX QD on 11.5”). They will also come with lo-profile, 2-point slings.

The platforms will also feature each Pro-Staff shooters signature barrel designed by them in conjunction with Rosco Mfg. barrels. Both barrels are constructed from 416R stainless steel, are then electro polished, and finally Melonited. The result is an MOA producing, precision grade barrel, with duty level service life, and both have been optimized for suppressor use. They feature a proprietary “Continuous Taper” to shore up strength on critical parts of the barrel, whilst lightening up other parts to provide a cooling/ balance ratio not easily found in other barrels. Both platforms also feature Cobalt Kinetics’ LIFETIME WARRANTY.

The platforms will be sold exclusively through Firearms Depot, starting with the 11.5” CK-Pro “Bear Claw” on May 12th.

“Working with Firearms Depot on this project has allowed us to bring something to the market that customers can enjoy whilst also being able to depend on. Both platforms are the result of over a year and a half of testing, abuse, and input from both talented shooters. Each found their specific set-up that worked extremely well for their given mission roles. The best part is that customers will be ready to roll to the range (or training class) once they mount an optic. We have provided every possible upgrade on these platforms, so customers do not have to!”

-Gabriel Cabrera (President/ Cobalt Kinetics)

Brouwer – Magwell Extension for M1811 Grip Module

Thursday, May 11th, 2023

The Brouwer M1811 Magwell Extension is designed to enhance the already generous magwell of the M1811 Grip Module for the Sig P320. The Magwell extends the margin of error when performing magazine changes by increasing the magwell opening diameter and providing a smooth transition for feeding.

Special consideration was made to ensure that the addition of the Magwell would maintain the same grip index and repeatability of the M1811. In order to achieve this the external profile was designed to minimize impact and interference with the users grip. The rear of the Magwell was designed to fit below the profile of the grip to reduce impact to the users palm swell. The front and sides of the Magwell were designed to offer a secondary index point that cradles the users hand at the bottom of the front strap.

Compatibility:
The Magwell is designed to work with factory 17 round magazines, as well as high capacity magazines without modification.

Material and Finish:
The Magwell Extension is made from 7075-T6 aluminum and is currently offered in three different coatings: Hard Black Anodized, or Anodized with color matched Cerakote in either Coyote or Black.

MSRP:

$74.95 Hard Annodized

$84.95 Hard Annodized with Cerakote

Available: www.brouwersolutions.com
