TNVC Announces Discontinuation of Stocking Filmed Green Phosphor Binocular Night Vision Systems

Thursday, May 2nd, 2024

Redlands, California—

Tactical Night Vision Company (TNVC, INC.) announced today that they will discontinue the normal stocking of Filmed Green Phosphor Binocular Night Vision systems and divest their current inventory and fully transition to both Filmed and Unfilmed White Phosphor systems for dual tube night vision devices. Filmed Green Phosphor will still be offered as an option for the TN/PVS-14 Monocular Night Vision Device for entry-level systems. Both Filmed and Unfilmed Green Phosphor binocular systems will still be available for special order upon request, however, they may experience extended lead times.

“Over the past decade or so since the mainstream operational introduction of White Phosphor image intensifiers, we’ve found that end users, whether organizational or private increasingly and almost universally prefer white phosphor goggles to green phosphor,” states TNVC COO, Augee Kim, adding: “While the ‘green screen’ NVG will always be classic and iconic, removing Filmed Green image intensifiers from our binocular NVG product line will allow us to streamline our supply lines and increase efficiencies, particularly as we begin to integrate exciting new technologies and embark on new partnerships as well as developing existing ones to further improve our product line and continue to offer the highest quality, most advanced products to all of our customers, both government and especially private consumers.”

The discontinuation and divestiture of new, stocking Green Phosphor binocular systems will have no affect on existing units and warranties, which will continue to be supported in accordance with TNVC’s Lifetime Limited Warranty program, and users with specific requirements will still be able to obtain filmed green systems via special order if desired.

In support of this divestiture, TNVC will be liquidating all remaining stocks of filmed green image intensifiers and complete night vision systems. These systems will be offered as complete units (no build-to-order) with full warranty support and consistent with TNVC’s high standards of quality for all of their TNV-units, but at a significant discount via TNVC’s website:

“We figured that while we were making this transition, we may as well give customers the opportunity to get into an extremely high-quality night vision device, using true, Gen. 3, U.S. MIL-SPEC ground tubes at some of the best prices out there, comparable to what folks are paying for Gen. 2 and blemished devices,” notes Victor DiCosola, TNVC Founder and CEO, adding with a chuckle and wink: “So I decided while my staff is figuring out our new product lines and partnerships, I would set up a ‘pop-up,’ Crazy Vic’s Discount Night Vision Emporium.”

More details on the green phosphor liquidation and Crazy Vic’s pop-up can be found on TNVC’s Instagram page:

Electronic Warfare Planning and Management Tool (EWPMT) Contract Cancellation

Thursday, May 2nd, 2024

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, MD – The U.S. Army recently announced the cancellation of the Electronic Warfare Planning and Management Tool (EWPMT) task order competition under the RS3 Enterprise contract. The decision was prompted by evolving requirements and a strategic realignment within the program.

As part of this realignment moving forward, the U.S. Army continues to prioritize its service specific EWPMT fielding of current capability and will also focus on EWPMT software architecture modernization. Program Executive Office – Intelligence, Electronic Warfare, and Sensors (PEO IEW&S) is working on a pilot as part of the architecture modernization in collaboration with the United States Marine Corps (USMC), shifting EWPMT’s electromagnetic warfare and spectrum management capabilities to the Tactical Assault Kit (TAK) framework. This effort is being led by the Electronic Warfare Integration (EWI) product management office.

TAK-X is a framework on which applications for presenting situational awareness data and geospatial visualizations can be built. Transition to the TAK framework is consistent with ongoing efforts to deliver capability at speed by leveraging common technologies across the Services with a similar user experience. The TAK user community collaborates across the EW user space and presents opportunities for technology advancement and integration across the U.S. Army, Marine Corps, Air Force, Special Operations Command, and the Joint Communities of Interest.

This strategic move aims to ensure that EWPMT is a relevant capability at the forefront of emerging operational requirements. The results of the U.S. Army-USMC collaboration on the TAK-X foundation will provide for microservice-based, modular software architecture satisfying Joint and individual Service requirements. It will enable agile development, integration, and ability to rapidly adjust to evolving operational requirements.

The initial releases of the modernized architecture, EWPMT-X, will be piloted and demonstrated over the next year to gain EW operator feedback. If the pilot effort proves successful, EWPMT-X will replace the current version of EWPMT in Fiscal Year 2026, ushering in a new era of Joint electronic warfare and spectrum management capabilities.

The U.S. Army program office is assessing future contract efforts based on operational and support requirements. Updates on future contract opportunities will be released via SAM.gov and PEO IEW&S – hosted Acquisition Lead Time (ALT) Industry events.

G9 Defense 6.5 Creedmoor 120gr Solid Copper Super Match

Wednesday, May 1st, 2024

Post Falls, ID. – (April 24th, 2024) – G9 Defense premium defensive ammunition, is pleased to announce new 6.5 Creedmoor 120gr Solid Copper Super Match ammunition with ALPHA Brass. G9 Super Match technology is used in rifle projectiles intended for target, competition, and training applications.

The new G9 Defense 6.5 Creedmoor 120gr Solid Copper Super Match with ALPHA Brass utilizes high muzzle velocities and high ballistic coefficients to achieve shorter times of flight, flatter trajectories, and less wind drift compared to other match bullets on the market. G9 Super Match rounds take a shooter’s long-range capability to the next level.

The new 6.5 Super Match’s advancements in internal ballistics come from patented side geometry that allow for less friction in the barrel, resulting in faster muzzle velocities at SAAMI standard pressures and lower barrel temperature during a firing string. These properties are enhanced by metallurgy selectionthe of all copper G9 Super Match bullets. The projectile features multiple bands machined into its side, which decreases bearing surface and pressures without diminishing ballistic coefficient. Combining these design benefits with the most rigorous load development and testing standards, G9 offers rounds with high muzzle velocities while maintaining extremely low standard deviations.

This new bullet is an all machine-turned solid copper or brass projectile that offers significant improvement in consistency over traditional jacketed lead bullets, which often have minor inconsistencies in density. By machine turning the projectiles G9 produces a round with a lower standard deviation of ballistic coefficient than any other method of production. At extended ranges, a low standard deviation in BC is more meaningful than standard deviation in muzzle velocity, resulting in higher accuracy at extended ranges.

Alpha Munitions shares a kindred spirit with G9 Defense: the eternal pursuit of ballistic perfection. Their Optimized Case Head Design (OCD) far exceeds performance standards typically associated with cases. Their innovative technology is combined with industry-leading manufacturing standards and the result is second-to-none. Their elevated level of performance, combined with uncanny consistency, makes their brass the obvious match for G9’s 6.5 Creedmoor brass projectile line. Expect single digit standard deviations and next level accuracy. Learn more about Alpha Munitions at www.alphamunitions.com

6.5 Creedmoor 120 grain Super Match Specifications:

– Caliber: 6.5 Creedmoor

– Bullet: 120gr Copper Super Match

– G1 BC: .625

– Velocity: 2950 fps

– Recommended Twist Rate: 1:8 or faster

– Packaging: 200-round case, 20-count box

GA-ASI Adding AESA Antenna to EagleEye Radar

Tuesday, April 30th, 2024

New Antenna Will Double Range and Enable Additional Radar Enhancements

SAN DIEGO – 24 April 2024 – General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) is continuing its support of EagleEye multi-mode radar development with a company investment to add an Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) antenna and associated software that will increase range and deliver significant mode enhancements. AESA will be a “drop-in” hardware upgrade to the existing EagleEye radar and could be an option for the new Gray Eagle 25M (GE 25M) aircraft assembly when ready.

“We expect the AESA antenna to more than double the range for EagleEye,” said Jeff Hettick, GA-ASI vice president of Agile Mission Systems. “The increased range and optimized multi-mode performance of the radar are perfectly tailored to provide deep sensing capability in Multi-Domain Operations (MDO). That will allow the aircraft to operate well outside Weapons Effects Zone of most threat systems adding a layer of survivability supporting the Stand-Off survivability with Stand-In effects of long-range sensors. This is a key component of the Gray Eagle 25M Unmanned Aircraft System being developed for the U.S. Army.”

AESA antennas replace the mechanically steered dish antennas of earlier-generation radars with a solid-state, all-electronic emitter. In addition to enhancing the radar’s performance, by replacing the motor and other components that physically move the radar dish, AESA greatly improves repairability and reliability.

As part of the EagleEye development, GA-ASI will improve target detection range using Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML). GA-ASI expects to have a working lab prototype of the new AESA component by the end of this year, with plans to conduct flight tests in 2025 and operational demonstrations on GE 25M after that.

EagleEye is a multi-mode radar that builds on years of pioneering expertise by GA-ASI. Using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), Eagle Eye enables operators to look in detail through clouds, smoke, dust, haze, or other conditions that might obscure a purely visual sensor. And for the first time on the Gray Eagle platform, EagleEye delivers radar-based Full Motion Video (FMV) called “Video SAR,” which enables live visual tracking of moving targets via the radar system.

The EagleEye radar performs Moving Target Indication (MTI), detects changes, builds strip maps, and yields other precise insights to analysts, commanders, and operators. With its Maritime Wide Area Search (MWAS) mode, EagleEye also provides a dedicated maritime MTI mode for tracking and targeting vessels and further supports the MDO mission set of the U.S. Army, particularly in support of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM) mission, but also in Europe, Africa and the Middle East where there is an increased need for maritime reconnaissance, surveillance and target acquisition, which is critical to achieve information dominance and overmatch.
