Tasmanian Tiger USA TT Modular Trooper Pack

Wednesday, March 10th, 2021

Versatile, roomy, and built on Tasmanian Tiger®’s V2-Carrying System for medium to heavy loads, the TT Modular Trooper Pack is the pro’s choice for a military/tactical backpack.

Miramar, Fla. (March 2021) – Tasmanian Tiger®, a tactical nylon line of products distributed exclusively for the US market by Proforce Equipment, Inc., introduces the TT Modular Trooper Pack, a military or tactical backpack designed for all-day comfort built on Tasmanian Tiger’s V2-Carrying System.

Made to go the distance on any hike or mission, the Modular Trooper Pack features an optimized design with modular functional features including an integrated rain cover and a removable hip belt that can be worn as a Warrior Belt. Fully adjustable, the pack’s back panel can be adjusted to different back lengths and the shoulder straps are adjustable for a just-right fit. Tasmanian Tiger’s V2-Carrying System is a size-adjustable carrying system for medium to heavy loads. Incorporating reinforced fiberglass bars into the system, the TT Modular Trooper Pack efficiently transmits the load across the system so it does not weigh heavily on any one part of the wearer. The technical back padding is conically shaped to help position contact of the backpack to the wearer. The padded, adjustable shoulder straps are ergonomic and load control designed.

The backpack itself is loaded with carrying features including two outer pockets and a laser-cut MOLLE on the front and sides for customizing with additional pouches or gear. The main compartment opens completely and special zipper guides make it possible to use the pack also as a top-loader. More MOLLE hook-and-loop is on the back panels of the front inside and the main compartment for more customization. Front pockets also have a mesh pouch for quick access gear.

The TT Modular Trooper Backpack holds 55 liters of gear and is made from Cordura® 700 den fabric for weathering the toughest outdoor conditions. Available in black, olive, coyote, or MultiCam for a starting MSRP of $389.00.

SIMI VALLEY, Calif., March 9, 2021 – AeroVironment, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVAV), a global leader in unmanned aircraft systems, today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary Arcturus UAV, now operating under the AeroVironment brand, was awarded a competitive task order valued at approximately $7 million from the U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). The competitive task order is for a one-year period of performance, which started February 3, 2021.

USSOCOM selected Arcturus UAV as one of six companies qualified for the potential $975 million Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) MEUAS contract in June 2020. The contract enables awardees to compete for site-specific task orders and provide USSOCOM with unmanned aircraft systems services and support for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) operations.

“Part of AeroVironment’s expanded portfolio of medium UAS, the fixed wing JUMP 20 is capable of vertical takeoff and landing, making it completely runway independent,” said Rick Pedigo, AeroVironment vice president of global sales and business development. “Runway independence maximizes the ability of customers to deploy the JUMP 20 in a broad range of locations and environments, while minimizing the logistical footprint required to operate it. JUMP 20 is also capable of hosting multiple different payload options, delivering true versatility and multi-mission capabilities to support a wide array of customer requirements.”

AeroVironment recently successfully demonstrated the JUMP 20 for the U.S. Army Future Tactical Unmanned Aircraft System (FTUAS) “Rodeo”, which took place from February 22 through March 5 at Fort Benning, Georgia.

AeroVironment previously announced the closing of the Arcturus UAV acquisition in a press release on February 22, 2021. To learn more about AeroVironment’s expanded portfolio of unmanned aircraft solutions, visit www.avinc.com/uas.

Buyer Beware – COUNTERFEIT Blue Force Gear Slings Showing Up Online

Tuesday, March 9th, 2021

BFG has received multiple reports of counterfeit Vickers Combat Applications Slings being sold online.

Savannah, GA – CAVEAT EMPTOR! They say “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery”, stealing our designs with counterfeit copies isn’t flattery. It’s a crime. In the past several weeks, Blue Force Gear® customer service has received a number of calls from individuals regarding issues with weapons slings that they purchased online. These slings were purchased primarily through Amazon. A review of the slings has revealed that every single one of them are cheap counterfeit copies of the patented BFG Vickers Combat Applications SlingTM (VCAS). These slings were labeled and marketed as being authentic BFG products to include copies of our labels and packaging.

More important to BFG than the legal issues with patent and trademark infringement, or the lost revenue to our American based company, are the disturbing reports of the products failing customers. BFG, and each of its employees, is proud that our products are utilized daily by military, first responders and prepared citizens worldwide. The idea that a mission could fail or that someone could be injured because of an inferior counterfeit product causes us great concern.

While the counterfeit slings LOOK like our product, a careful examination reveals vastly inferior quality of webbing, hardware, construction methods and other issues. We are choosing to not be more specific regarding the glaring issues with these slings as we don’t want to assist these thieves in their continuing criminal enterprise to steal our intellectual property and mislead our loyal and deserving customers.

BFG wants you to be aware that there are counterfeit products being marketed and that the best way to avoid them is to always buy from an authorized BFG reseller or direct from Blue Force Gear through our website or company store. If you have questions regarding the identity of authorized resellers or concerns regarding a product, please contact our customer service representatives for guidance or go to www.blueforcegear.com/verified-bfg to report a suspected fake product.

At Blue Force Gear, we strive to be “Always Better”TM.
The people stealing from you? Not so much.

Boonville, MO – CMMG’s oldest 9mm platform – the Mk9 – has now been upgraded to utilize CMMG’s patented Radial Delayed Blowback™ operating system in both BANSHEE and RESOLUTE configurations. Offering significantly less felt-recoil, Radial Delayed Blowback has proven to be superior to the old straight blowback design and this change completes CMMG’s transition to the new and better operating system.

CMMG’s Mk9 platform features a lower receiver with a dedicated magwell designed to accept Colt™ SMG – pattern magazines. The BANSHEE is offered as a pistol or short barreled rifle with barrel lengths of 5 or 8 inches in length, while RESOLUTE rifles come with a 16-inch barrel. Both the BANSHEE and RESOLUTE offer Last Round Bolt Hold Open.

Each CMMG Mk9 complete firearm ships with one 32-round DuraMag™ magazine and has a retail price of $1,099.95 to $1,449.95 for the BANSHEE and $1,199.00 to $1,699.95 for the RESOLUTE.

Along with offering complete Mk9 firearms and lower receiver groups that are designed to utilize Radial Delayed Blowback, CMMG will also offer Mk9 Upgrade Kits for those who already have an older CMMG Mk9 Lower Receiver. The Mk9 Upgrade Kits have all the parts needed to make an old Mk9 compatible with a CMMG 9mm Radial Delayed Blowback upper receiver.

On all CMMG BANSHEE and RESOLUTE 300 Series firearms, consumers can choose from ten Cerakote colors at no additional cost. Both the 100 and 200 Series offer Cerakote for the complete firearm for an additional $150 per model.

Defender Low Visibility Plate Carrier from FROG.PRO

Tuesday, March 9th, 2021

DEFENDER LOW VISIBILITY PLATE CARRIER – One plate Carrier for multiple situations.

The Defender Low Visibility Plate Carrier is launched, the new product with which the FROG.PRO brand enters the “under cover” category.

The Defender Low Visibility Plate Carrier was designed for those who need to wear rigid ballistic plates while maintaining a low profile silhouette, without giving up the chance to scale from a minimalist solution to a combat configuration.

With a weight of 710g (in size SM / MD) the Defender LVPC has a design studied to accommodate any type of rigid ballistic plates, such as SAPI, E-SAPI, Swimmer Cut, rectangular and more.

Thanks to the 4-way stretch elastic fabric in the inner part, the plate pouch can adapt in size to the ballistic protection carried and wrap it to minimize the bulk of the plate carrier.

For the same reason, the shoulder straps are made of 2” Class 2 webbing without added padding.

The supplied Low Visibility Elastic Cummerbund features a series of multi-role elastic pouches on each side that provide an inherently conforming pressure to the content that is reliable and repeatable.

The pouches can be used to carry a large variety of rifle magazines, civilian or military radios, smoke grenades, medical gear, or anything you can fit in.

The cummerbund can be replaced with other models that feature Velcro® hook and loop application and adjustment system.

The 5.56 Mag Velcro Insert triple pouch can hold 3 magazines for AR / M4 platform with minimum weight and bulk. The laser-cut Hypalon fabric, together with the elastic retention, ensure excellent magazine retention.

Thanks to the ITW Nexus® QASM buckles on the front, the Defender LVPC can be quickly equipped with front panels such as the Modular Reconnaissance Chest Rig or the Modular Reconnaissance Task Bag.

Buckles can be removed to eliminate any protrusions when used as a concealed body armour for undercover operations.

The Defender Low Visibility Plate Carrier is available in two sizes:

• the SM/MD size accommodates ballistic plates in Small or Medium size and the cummerbund features 3 elastic pockets per side

• the LG/XL size accommodates ballistic plates in Large or X-Large size and the cummerbund features 4 elastic pockets per side

www.frogpro.eu/en/plate-carriers/74-732-defender-low-visibility-plate-carrier

The modularity of the FROG.PRO equipment finds maximum expression in the two different configurations of the new plate carrier:

–Defender Combat Kit

–Defender Medic Kit

Configurations designed specifically for an “innovative” public, ready to face any situation with the right equipment.
