SK Guns Supports International Association of Bomb Technicians & Investigators

Sunday, July 27th, 2025

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. – July 24, 2025 – SK Guns®, the Nation’s only series-driven, limited-edition manufacturer of custom firearms, supported the 53rd International Association of Bomb Technicians & Investigators (IABTI) International In-Service Training and Expo (IIST) through its SK Gives Back initiative.

The expo took place June 22 – 27 in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. As part of the event, SK Guns donated the #053 Solo Lobo (translated: “Lone Wolf”) pistol chambered in .38 Super. This custom-engraved firearm was auctioned off to raise funds for the IABTI during the convention. The funds raised help bomb technicians and investigators across the world be as educated and effective as possible.

“It can’t be overstated how dangerous the life of a bomb technician can be. Training and education for these members of our military, law enforcement and first responder communities is absolutely vital,” said Simon Khiabani, owner and founder of SK Guns. “We are proud to use our SK Gives Back initiative to support the IABTI and help fund the research and training programs they work on throughout the year.”

The IABTI IIST is the premier global event for bomb technicians and investigators to refine their skills and network with other international experts. The event provided attendees with a new perspective on the industry, access to career pathways, research and professional development opportunities.

“We are so grateful to Simon for his kindness and willingness to help the IABTI conference, which helps facilitate well needed training to bomb technicians around the world,” said Scott Wright, St. Johns County deputy and explosive ordnance disposal technician.

PSQ Payments Partners with Atrius Development Group to Provide Payment Services After Sudden Cancellation From Former Vendor

Friday, July 25th, 2025

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.– PSQ Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: PSQH) (“PublicSquare” or the “Company”) today announced its new partnership with Atrius Development Group, a leading innovator in precision rearm components, after the sudden cancellation of Atrius’s payment services by a major vendor. PSQ Payments collaborated closely with the Atrius team to onboard their business, restore checkout functionality, and ensure uninterrupted access to their high-quality rearms components for their eager customers.

“This partnership with Atrius is a reminder that for PSQ Payments, our financial technology efforts are about much more than just processing payments; it’s about standing up for American businesses that are being unfairly targeted,” said Michael Seifert, Chairman and CEO of PublicSquare. “Atrius builds high-performance components for firearm owners protected by the Second Amendment, and we are proud to ensure they receive the respect and service they deserve. PSQ Payments continues to expand its reach across industries affected by financial censorship, with highly competitive rates, live US-based support, and mission-aligned services to freedom-loving businesses nationwide.”

Atrius is known for its agship Forced Reset Selector for the AR-15 platform. However, the company faced unexpected disruptions to its business when its previous payment processor terminated their relationship without warning, citing ideological objections rather than compliance issues or operational concerns. This left the Atrius and its customers in a sudden bind, unable to complete legitimate transactions for legal products.

Atrius resumed full online checkout capabilities within days of the transition. The partnership highlights the shared mission of both companies: defending free enterprise, supporting pro-liberty businesses, and providing alternatives to financial institutions that prioritize politics over principles.

“At a time when we were facing real adversity and being overlooked or mistreated by the very partners we once trusted, PSQ Payments stepped in, not just as a financial partner, but as a believer in our mission,” stated Ryan Spadafore, Founder & CEO of Atrius. “As an American-made company built by everyday Americans and veterans alike, our foundation is rooted in advancing the 2A rights of all Americans. The PSQ Payments team understood that, and their support gave us the breathing room to regroup, rebuild, and stay aligned with our purpose. Our singular focus has always been impact, and this partnership was a turning point for Atrius Development Group. Together we win.”

Denmark Buys Four MQ-9B SkyGuardians from GA-ASI

Thursday, July 24th, 2025

NSPA Supports Denmark and European Countries in MQ-9B Acquisition and Sustainment

SAN DIEGO – 23 July 2025 – Denmark and the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) have announced the procurement of four MQ-9B SkyGuardian® Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) from General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. The purchase includes three Certified Ground Control Stations.

Denmark joins a growing list of European countries that have selected MQ-9B for its multi-domain capabilities with exceptionally long range and endurance. The platform provides pole-to-pole satellite control and de-icing capabilities to enable missions in the harsh conditions of the Arctic in support of Denmark and its NATO Allies. Additionally, MQ-9B’s in-house-developed Detect and Avoid System aids MQ-9B’s ability to fly in unsegregated airspace for domestic civilian operations, making it highly versatile for operations from Denmark.

MQ-9B recently became the first large remotely piloted aircraft to obtain a Military Type Certificate (MTC) from the UK’s Military Aviation Authority, certifying its safe operation without geographic restrictions, including over populous areas.

“It’s been a very productive year for our MQ-9B platforms,” said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. “First, we earned MTC and now we’ve added Denmark to the U.K., Belgium, and Poland as MQ-9B customers in Europe. I believe the extensive waters of the North Sea, Norwegian Sea, and Baltic Sea of the Nordic countries make the MQ-9B a very effective tool for national maritime surveillance and security.”

MQ-9B SkyGuardian is the first and only unmanned system to offer multi-domain Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Targeting (ISR&T) as an internal payload that can search the ocean’s surface and its depths in support of Fleet Operations. MQ-9B can also be fitted with a number of payloads including a maritime surveillance package with a 360-degree maritime radar and/or sonobuoy dispensing pods.

This sale was aided and supported by NSPA, which has developed a contractual framework for supporting cooperation amongst its member nations and promoting the proliferation of MQ-9B in Europe. NSPA has added MQ-9B to its portfolio of defense systems to contract on behalf of European nations, with the goal of enhancing interoperability while facilitating training and joint operations.

“This procurement demonstrates how NSPA enables efficient, effective and responsive multinational acquisitions for advanced, interoperable capabilities. We are proud to support Denmark in this strategic investment for national maritime surveillance and security,” said Ms. Stacy A. Cummings, NSPA General Manager.
