Redarc Defence Systems Announces New Products for Emergency Service and Military Vehicle Platforms

Tuesday, September 21st, 2021

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

REDARC Defence Systems is proud to announce a new lineup of products specifically designed for military and emergency service vehicle applications. REDARC offers a blend of commercial off-the-shelf, modified off-the-shelf and build-to-print electronic solutions that improve the capability, safety and flexibility of a variety of defense vehicles and applications.

BCDC1225C & 1240C In-Vehicle Chargers

Our newest in-vehicle battery chargers are built to withstand austere environments while providing greater ease of installation. Available in 25A and 40A configurations, the BCDC1225C and 1240C are designed with consideration for all applications from automotive OEM to Emergency Services and Defense vehicle platforms. Designed to charge from DC to DC, applications include dual battery configurations, banks of batteries that need charging while in use, or while parked, and charging via solar panel connection. New features of these units include; improved thermal efficiency, mil standard connectors, filter board to improve electromagnetic performance, as well as options for IP sealing the unit. The new BCDC chargers have both 12V and 24V capability good for standard and variable voltage/smart alternators.

DPS242C Power Supply

DPS units provide constant, regulated power for all types of loads making them ideal as an alternative to installing an auxiliary battery; they also protect against reverse polarity, spikes or surges, short circuit, overload and over temperature.

The DPS 2420C (Connectorized) is designed for applications that require specific installation and operational requirements such as automotive OEMs, emergency services and defense.

The engineered enclosure is designed to house new low-noise DPS hardware, improving EMC/EMI performance to meet the demanding OEM testing levels and minimize interference to sensitive equipment. Perhaps the most important addition are the military grade, sealable connectors, replacing the flying leads on the after-market product. These provide a durable, environment protected product with a simpler installation and loom design. The DPS2420C can output one of three selectable output voltages (24, 27.4 and 29 volts) to suit the specific requirements of any load.

Inclinometers

REDARC Defence Systems will now be offering a range of stability monitoring devices from Hummingbird Electronics. These combinations of inclinometers and tilt sensors ensure that you will know where your load stands whether you are static, or operating at speed. With a range of six types of display modules, you are ensured to find the right fit for your specific vehicle/fleet to ensure costly losses of equipment, time, and resources are avoided. Paired with high precision tilt sensors and switches, operators are able to monitor and manage the pitch and roll of their vehicle directly from the driver seat, ensuring safety for everyone near your large equipment.

SIG SAUER Introduces the Next Generation of Suppressor Technology with SLX and SLH Series of Suppressors

Friday, September 17th, 2021

NEWINGTON, N.H., (September 17, 2021) – Born out of the current military requirements to deliver cutting-edge performance, SIG SAUER is proud to introduce the SLX and SLH series of suppressors. The advancement of the SLX and SLH series of suppressors was realized through the wholesale transition of the SIG SAUER product line to Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) resulting in the most innovative suppressor technology to date – the next generation of suppressors has arrived. 

“The commercial launch of the SLX and SLH suppressors has been highly anticipated due to the fact that these are the suppressors we developed exclusively for our Next Generation Squad Weapons program submission,” said Tom Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President, Commercial Sales, SIG SAUER, Inc.  “The DMLS manufacturing process of the SLX and SLH suppressors eliminates the drawbacks of welded baffles that historically presents design limitations for sound, flash, and the reduction of toxic fumes.  Alternatively, the SLX and SLH suppressors are designed to not only withstand the rigors of the battlefield through its innovative monolithic design, but they are each optimized to dramatically reduce harmful toxic fumes and sound because of patented design features that can only be achieved through the non-traditional manufacturing processes.”

The SIG SAUER SLH Series of suppressors are designed to provide the highest degree of sound reduction in both supersonic and subsonic ammunitions and available for 7.62 NATO and 300BLK calibers.  The SLH suppressors feature a monolithic core construction in either Inconel or Titanium, an internal multi-flow path to exhaust gases at a higher rate resulting in lower toxic fume inhalation, a sound reducing baffle design, a flash reducing end cap, and are available with either the new Clutch-Lock QD mounting system for easy install and removal that offers an intuitive tactile locking ring with infinite radial locking positions, or direct thread.

Rheinmetall New Strategic Partner of the Bundeswehr for Deployed Operations Support – New Line of Business Launched

Friday, September 17th, 2021

Rheinmetall new strategic partner of the Bundeswehr for deployed operations support – new line of business launched
The German Bundeswehr has awarded Rheinmetall a framework contract as part of its “Deployed Operations Support” project. The agreement was concluded in August 2021 with the Federal Office for Infrastructure, Environmental Protection and Bundeswehr Services (BAIUDBw). Germany’s armed forces will be able to count on a reliable partner to set up, operate and, when necessary, dismantle operational infrastructure. Rheinmetall is one of three companies selected by the Bundeswehr to serve as a strategic partner for deployed operations support. The contract went into effect upon signature and has an initial duration of four years, with a triple option for a one-year extension. During this period, Rheinmetall is obligated to provide services when called upon by the Bundeswehr.

The selection of partners for providing deployed operations took place within the framework of the “German Armed Forces Contractor Augmentation Programme (G-CAP)”. Initiated by BAIUDBw, this project requires private sector service providers to supply troop support services during deployed operations. In adopting this policy, the Bundeswehr joined a global trend: many other armed forces rely on service providers to perform such tasks. Experts estimate that global sales for these services are worth around €350 billion annually.

Rheinmetall is positioning itself to address this growing international market. The Düsseldorf-based Group has set up a company for this purpose, Rheinmetall Project Solutions GmbH, which will consolidate and develop resources and capabilities necessary for operational support of this kind and seek to provide services on a long-term basis. This new business area will operate in close collaboration with Rheinmetall Canada, whose special technological know-how is set to expand internationally.

In addition to the G-CAP framework agreement, Rheinmetall Project Solutions recently won a service contract for round-the-clock monitoring of a forward operating base using a tethered surveillance aerostat.

As Dr Deniz Akitürk, managing director of Rheinmetall Project Solutions GmbH puts it, “We are pleased by this success and proud of having been picked by the Bundeswehr as a partner for infrastructure during deployed operations. We can assure our customers that the name Rheinmetall will stand for maximum reliability, performance and flexibility in this new field of business.”

G-CAP is primarily intended to relieve the troops and let private industry set up the operational infrastructure, thus enabling the Bundeswehr to conserve resources and focus on its core mission in high-threat situations. Deployed operations support is a core capability, ranging from the establishment of forward operating bases to the creation of permanent operational infrastructure. This includes, for example, accommodation, water supply, power generation, rations and mess halls, waste disposal and laundry services.

TEKEVER Launches TEKEVER ATLAS for UAV Real-Time and Historical Processing Data

Friday, September 17th, 2021

DSEI, September 15th, 2021 – TEKEVER is demonstrating during DSEI (London, 14-17, 2021) its new TEKEVER ATLAS, a tool to enhance Unmanned Aerial Systems missions. It provides advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) analytics onboard for real-time and historical processing of data. Designed for key decision-makers, TEKEVER ATLAS delivers intelligence onboard, as well as ground-based tools, and assures that the right person gets the right information at the right time.

“TEKEVER ATLAS is a tool that extends the capabilities of TEKEVER’s unmanned technology. It allows you to collect all the information and to explore it after it’s been collected. ATLAS is a good name for the systems because it holds all the information that we are gathering about the world. It connects to multiple UAS systems at same time to collect data of the sensors that are on board (optical video, infrared video, radar, multispectral sensors, static aperture radars, for example). That information comes over a private network and gets collect in our AI/ML-powered datacenter, where all the information is stored and tagged”, explains Paulo Ferro, TEKEVER Director of Business Development

Decision-makers will be able to plan missions more effectively by easily including parameters such as areas of interest, objectives, and targets. This will enable the end-user user to review the specific details of any mission, and to easily retrieve historical data necessary as evidence for prosecution.
