Cytta Corp Development of SUPR TAK Video Streaming Solution for Integration Into TAK – Tactical Assault Kit/Team Awareness Kit Well Underway

Tuesday, December 21st, 2021

Tackling a $12.78 Billion Market with Proven Technology

LAS VEGAS, NV December 20, 2021 / Cytta Corp. (OTCQB:CYCA), a leader in video streaming solutions, announces the development program for their SUPR TAK full HD video streaming solution for the $12.78 Billion TAK/ATAK market. TAK is the Tactical Assault Kit for the military, the Team Awareness Kit for civilian applications, and ATAK (Android Tactical Assault Kit) when integrated into the U.S. and NATO’s preeminent battlefield management application. A Beta launch is expected in Q2 of 2022.

Mr. Gary Campbell CEO stated, “Cytta Corp’s. SUPR TAK development program will allow us to meet the demand for high quality video and audio throughput in demanding environments under stressful situations where life or death depends on the effectiveness of timely resource deployment and management. Currently, operators and users of these applications are being held back by the lack of quality video streaming abilities. The SUPR TAK video streaming technology that Cytta Corp. will deliver is proprietary and unique, creating a significant opportunity in the current market.”

The current TAK management application system that is utilized in 15 Department of Defense (“DOD”) programs and has a user base of over 380,000, does not sustain multiple, reliable full motion video (FMV) from live streaming assets and cameras in higher resolutions. Cytta Corp. will be able to solve the lack of quality video streaming that TAK faces with its SUPR video streaming by integrating the Cytta proprietary SUPR streaming technology. Beneficiaries of Cytta’s full resolution streaming capabilities and technology span federal, state, and local government departments as well as in the recreational environment with users that hike, research, and explore our world through various means. With more state and local agencies coming onboard, this will continue to expand in the government level sectors.

The Soldier System Market was valued at USD $12.78 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach USD $14.14 billion by 2023 according to ‘Soldier System Market, Industry Analysis and Market Forecast to 2023′.

Cytta was asked to develop the SUPR TAK, for the TAK/ATAK ecosystem, by various military partners like UK SOF, US Air Force, US National Guard, SOCOM, Border and Customs, and other Mil Spec users. By integrating Cytta’s patented SUPR technology capabilities, TAK will now be capable of delivering full resolution streaming over low-bandwidth with low-latency. All users will be able to utilize this exclusive solution that Cytta alone can provide

This is yet another unique and significant step forward for a Company already trusted by major players in the military, first responders and industry. This new SUPR TAK initiative will enhance integration of the Company’s proprietary technology and is in response to customer requirements. Cytta’s technology applications make a critical difference to the safety and operational effectiveness of personnel in the defense, first responder and security industries.

S.O.Tech Go Bag Extended, MultiCam Black

Tuesday, December 21st, 2021

Over 16 years of the iconic S.O.Tech Go Bag line. The SGB-X (S.O.Tech Go Bag, Extended) for the first time now offered in MultiCam® Black.

The S.O.Tech Go Bag series came from a friend in one of JSOC’s Tier units. They were operating in Afghanistan and Iraq crammed in Hi Luxes and Little Birds. They needed a survival kit bag that could slide in and stack in those compact spaces and extract when the troop came into contact.

The original tubular bag with single sling shoulder strap had three small zippered pockets for batteries, food, NODS, and other items.

When the same troops needed to transport their weapons quietly, we extended the length to accommodate the M4 broken down and extended the side pouches to take mags. Breaking the carbine down and stacking its components presented a a tubular shape that confused any surveillance team looking for weapons bags.

The design was quickly adapted by teams across the Interagency. And the third iteration was the S.O.Tech Go Pack where we created a double shoulder strap version for those guys carrying such a heavy load that the sling shoulder strap just wasn’t enough. However, we configured it in a unique arrangement so the double shoulder strap could connect for form a single sling strap for lighted load. All of these designs allowed for the quick donning motion of throwing it over the head and shoulder, and the easy access by spinning it around.

Drops Friday 12/24 12pm PST. While supplies last, no backorders. $165. Use the following code at checkout for free shipping: asseenonssd

Elbit Systems UK Provides Rapid Delivery Of First Tranche Of XACT Night Vision Goggles To The British Army

Tuesday, December 21st, 2021

London, 17 December 2021 – Elbit Systems UK has delivered the first tranche of its XACT Night Vision Goggles to the British Army as part of a contract awarded by the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) to the company in June of this year.

Following First Article Inspections conducted by MOD Defence Equipment and Security (DE&S), this initial consignment of XACT systems was manufactured at Elbit Systems UK’s subsidiary Instro Precision Ltd’s (Instro) facility in Kent. The systems have been delivered from Instro to the British Army for operational use with a lead time of only a few months, demonstrating the company’s agility and its ability to respond swiftly to the needs of the UK Armed Forces.

Representatives from DE&S recently visited Instro’s site to oversee the process and formally provide approval for the initial delivery of the systems to the British Army.

Prior to delivery of this first tranche of systems, a number of XACT nv33 systems were supplied to the 1st Division at Imphal Barracks in York, in order to provide instruction on the capabilities of the Night Vision Goggles to the Divisional Training Advisory Team (DTAT).

The lightweight micro binocular XACT nv33 Night Vision Goggles have been supplied in a helmet-mounted configuration, with size, weight and improved capabilities that have been well-received by the Army. The systems will allow troops to maximise their mission efficiency in dark conditions and enable them to operate at a tactical level in both dismounted and mounted roles. Products from the XACT family are already in operational use with a number of NATO countries including Germany, the Netherlands and Israel.

Martin Fausset, CEO of Elbit Systems UK said:

The manufacture and rapid supply of the XACT nv33 NVGs marks another step in our contribution to the UK Armed Forces, and the presence of DE&S at our facility in Kent reflects that. The NVGs have been proven to enhance operational effectiveness of several militaries globally, and Instro’s work for the UK Ministry of Defence will continue to create more jobs in the UK, growing the local workforce and enhancing skill development in the region.

TNVC Teams with L3Harris as the First Factory Authorized Spare / Repair Parts Distributor for Night Vision Equipment

Monday, December 20th, 2021

“Amateurs talk about tactics, professionals study logistics.” We’ve all heard it, but in the glitz and glam of influencers and social media and “tactical this” and “tactical that,” sustainment and logistics can get somewhat lost in the fray. In the rush to go out and get the newest, and latest and greatest in capabilities, technology, and products, the need to sustain our existing equipment can end up inadvertently playing second fiddle.

Though our name may be “Tactical Night Vision Company,” at TNVC we are committed to providing comprehensive support to professionals and enthusiasts alike, with cradle-to-grave support of our products and systems, from initial consultation, product selection, operational training, and of course, sustainment.

Led by professional military and law enforcement veterans, we understand the need not only to get new equipment, but to keep the equipment we already have still running and serviceable, as demonstrated in our Lifetime Limited Warranty and repair and maintenance programs, as well as being an integral part of our training and training sustainment program.

At TNVC, we’re extremely proud of our enduring strategic partnerships and relationships and the opportunities they allow, such as our relationship with L3Harris’ Integrated Vision Solutions (IVS) business. As a direct distributor for this business, we have been able to greatly expand the accessibility and availability of industry-leading technologies and capabilities such as the ATPIAL, BNVD (AN/PVS-31A), BNVD-1531, and GPNVG, including commercial sales.

We are therefore pleased to announce that we have further expanded our relationship with L3Harris IVS to become the first, Factory-Authorized Spare and Repair Parts distributor for its finished night vision products, not only making it easier to obtain equipment and capabilities, but to sustain them. To facilitate this program, we are also introducing a new Spare/Repair Parts portal on our website, making it easier and more convenient to obtain spare and repair parts for your L3Harris night vision systems than ever before!

tnvc.com/shop/category/l3harris-spare-parts

TNVC’s new Spare/Repair Parts portal features an easy-to-use user interface, allowing users to select their system, and choose from a drop-down menu, listing available spare and repair parts, including photographs of the parts, as well as selecting color options (when applicable), displaying the part number, price, and stock status immediately, creating a seamless user experience, whether you need one part or one hundred.
