The Type 10 is based on the DPMS high-profile pattern and manufactured from high-grade 7075-T6511 billet aluminum. WATCHTOWER has upgraded the fire control group by incorporating Hiperfire’s EDT2 Heavy Gunner trigger — a single-stage semi-auto LE/SWAT AR upgrade. The TYPE 10 includes WATCHTOWER’s Tru-Black PVD coated 7.62x51mm NATO MPI-tested Durabolt BCG — our most robust, durable, and easy-to-clean coating. The barrel is a stainless steel 18-inch .308 Win. with 1:8 rifling featuring a mid-length gas system finished in a black nitride coating. Surrounding the barrel is the 15-inch S7M free-floating handguard with M-LOK attachment slots at five positions, 4 QD points, and a full-length 1913 Picatinny rail. WATCHTOWER’s Dragon Slay-AR compensating muzzle brake is incorporated at the end of the barrel, a device to mitigate recoil, finished in a Tru-black PVD coating. This rifle also comes with B5 Systems reinforced polymer pistol grip and buttstock.

Initially carrying an MSRP of $1,649.99, it is now available for $1,402.49 – a 15 percent savings.

“Our SPEC OPS platforms are built to give shooters precision accuracy in an MSR-designed firearm that is as reliable as the sunrise,” said WATCHTOWER CEO Jason Colosky, a former Recon Marine serving throughout Southwest Asia and Southeast Africa. “The Type 10 is chambered in .308 Win and will serve long-range shooters competing at a high level, law enforcement personnel, and even hunters, over decades of use in all climatic conditions.”

Innovative Textile Technology Enhances Thermal Signature Management for Military Protection

Wednesday, February 14th, 2024

Adlington, United Kingdom: Military fabrics manufacturer Carrington Textiles reveals a cutting-edge technology for the defence market called Stealth, designed to revolutionise thermal signature management via a highly conductive textile technology for superior thermal shielding in the battlefield.

Stealth is engineered with patented fabric technology that manages dynamic energy waves for mission critical security and protection, mitigating the thermal signature of a soldier from sensors used in the modern battlefield.

Stealth, created in collaboration with advanced materials company Noble Biomaterials, delivers broad-spectrum SWIR/MWIR/LWIR thermal signature management in a lightweight, durable fabric.

Stealth utilises Noble’s CIRCUITEX® SIGMA technology, which is designed to mitigate thermal detection in military environments.

Paul Farrell, Carrington Textiles Sales Director says: “Initial feedback from wearer trials of this pioneering concept in military field training exercises and in camp observation, concluded that with Stealth the thermal signature of a soldier was mitigated completely at different distances, with the material being near indistinguishable from the surrounding terrain, regardless of viewing angles.”

Noble Biomaterials’ Chief Commercial Officer, Joel Furey, adds: “Our patented CIRCUITEX technology is designed to protect soldiers and equipment from detection by advanced sensors. We are proud to provide allied war fighters an operational advantage in combat situations.”

The new Stealth concept will be exclusively showcased at Carrington Textiles’ stand at Enforce Tac 2024, taking place from 26th until 28th February at the Nüremberg Exhibition Centre in Germany, in hall 7, stand 340.

GPS-Denied Environment Technologies from OKSI

Wednesday, February 14th, 2024

The modern-day battlefield deploys platforms and systems that are heavily reliant on GPS signal. The proliferation of electronic warfare and GPS jamming in today’s conflicts create complexity, disrupting commonly used tactics and rending certain systems and munitions inoperable.

GPS-denied environments are one of our military’s most pressing technical topics, as DoD prioritizes the pursuit of battlefield solutions. From ground soldier situational awareness to UAS and loitering munitions, GPS has been a pillar for carrying out successful missions.

OKSI’s OMNISCIENCE Ecosystem of navigation and targeting algorithms is an integration-ready software stack for UAS/UAVs. We can provide visual-based navigation that delivers absolute position updates, RF-denied autonomous mission capability, and Cat I/II target geo-locating within GPS-denied environments. OKSI is experts in computer-vision and AI, with a proud and rich history in aerial platforms, aerial munitions, and EO/IR sensors and seekers.

Blue Force Gear Limited Edition – VCAS Tiger Stripe Sling

Wednesday, February 14th, 2024

Introducing the Limited Edition VCAS GTS Sling – a fusion of a historical camo pattern with an iconic weapon sling design. This exclusive two-point, quick-adjustment sling in GTS (Green Tiger Stripe) pattern is brought to you by TFBTV host, James Reeves, and Blue Force Gear. “Tiger Stripe is a functional and interesting pattern, which also happens to be timeless.”, stated Reeves, while attending SHOT Show 2024. “…aesthetically pleasing camo in spite of the fact that it was never formally adopted by the US military.”

Reeves also adds a dose of history here, “…It was so effective that military advisors and special operations units in Vietnam, sourced the pattern locally and unofficially adopted it themselves.” Talk about resourcefulness.

“In that way, the pattern is itself an homage to ingenuity and improvisation. When I approached BFG about making the Vickers sling in the pattern, it was because the origins of Tiger Stripe are in alignment with BFG’s philosophy- Always Better. Plus, I selfishly wanted the best sling in the world, in one of the best camo patterns ever devised.” -James Reeves, TFBTV.

Only available at blueforcegear.com and by subscribing to the email notice of their release, there are limited quantities, so get them while you can. 500 are being produced in VCAS and VCAS push button slings.  Take advantage and own a tribute piece of military history, blending the legacy of the Green Tiger Stripe pattern, with the renowned Vickers Sling.
