DroneShield is pleased to announce that the United States Army has selected its wholly owned US subsidiary DroneShield LLC to advance to Phase II of Expeditionary Technology Search program (“xTechSearch”).
xTechSearch is sponsored by U.S. Army’s Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology. It enables the selected private sector companies to collaborate with the Army to tackle the most critical Army modernisation challenges.
The Army xTechSearch program provides non-dilutive funding to selected private sector companies to demonstrate their technologies pertaining to Army challenges. The program also drives to integrate these businesses into the Army’s Science and Technology ecosystem by providing research opportunities with Army labs, including authorized access to the Army’s organic intellectual and technical capital.
DroneShield LLC has been selected on the basis of Artificial Intelligence/Machine learning algorithms within its drone detection products, including RfPatrolTM, RfZeroTM, RfOneTM, DroneSentinelTM and DroneSentryTM.
DroneShield’s CEO Oleg Vornik commented, “The United States Department of Defense (US DoD) has substantially the largest defence budget globally. Collaboration activities such as xTechSearch enable opportunities to be embedded into their ecosystem, with potential significant acquisitions following, as the US DoD seeks effective counterdrone solutions. This selection demonstrates cutting edge of DroneShield’s technologies on a global scale.”

Big news from SIG. For the first time in over a century, the US military has safety certified bot a new weapon as well as ammunition at the same time.
They also certified a suppressor at the same time, a first.
These weapons are undergoing a combat evaluation by MARSOC on behalf of USSOCOM and the US Marine Corps.
I recently had an opportunity to fire the SIG SAUER MG 338 machine gun. It is extremely controllable and weighs less than an M240.
Here is their press release.
NEWINGTON, N.H., (January 13, 2020) – SIG SAUER, Inc. is pleased to announce the United States Special Operation Command (USSOCOM), working closely with SIG SAUER, has completed a safety certification of the new SIG SAUER MG 338 Machine Gun, SIG SAUER 338 Norma Mag Ammunition, and Next Generation Suppressors. Following this historic official safety certification, SIG SAUER has completed deliveries of multiple systems, comprised of the MG 338 Machine Guns, 338 Norma Mag Ammunition, and Next Generation Suppressors – all researched, designed, engineered, and manufactured by SIG SAUER in the U.S.A.
“The safety certification of the complete SIG SAUER MG 338 system, and delivery of the system to USSOCOM is historically very significant. For the first time in decades the U.S. Military certified a new machine gun, ammunition, and suppressor at the same time, bringing new innovation, portability, and increased lethality to our ground forces, with all components coming from one company,” began Ron Cohen, President and CEO, SIG SAUER, Inc. “This certification was achieved following the outstanding performance of the complete MG 338 system through the rigors of the extensive function, durability, and safety tests set forth by USSOCOM.”
The SIG MG 338 bridges the gap between the current machine guns currently in use with the U.S. Military. In comparison to the current M240 (7.62x51cal) machine gun, which has been in service with the U.S. Military for 60 years, the SIG MG 338, is noticeably lighter, weighing only 20 pounds, and provides significantly more range and lethality. In comparison to the M2 (.50cal), which has been in service with the U.S. Military for 110 years, the MG 338 is approximately one-quarter the weight, and in a historic first, offers a man-portable solution with similar effective-range. Making this system even more desirable are the new SIG SAUER Next Generation Suppressors which drastically reduces the impact of harmful toxic fumes and signature, making the operator less vulnerable.
The SIG SAUER MG 338 machine gun is a belt-fed, lightweight medium machine gun weighing under 20lbs., chambered in 338 Norma Mag. The MG 338 features a short-stroke gas piston system and a proprietary recoil mitigation system, with a free-floating, quick-change barrel, ambidextrous controls, switchable feed tray, charging handle that can be alternated to either side depending on operator preference, and as a modern, multi-caliber, modular system the new SIG MG 338 is easily convertible to 7.62x51cal.
“We are incredibly proud of this historical accomplishment and honored to have received this safety certification by USSOCOM for the performance of the complete MG 338 system,” concluded Cohen.

North Kansas City, Missouri – Badger Ordnance is proud to announce new additions to their line of Condition One Modular Mounts. For 2020 Badger Ordnance has introduced to their C1 line, products that cater more to the long-range precision shooter. The C1 ARC (Accessory Ring Cap) is a modular replacement ring cap for any Condition One Modular Mount. It allows the user to mount a myriad of accessories fore or aft on their C1 Mounts, to include different variants of Laser Range Finder rails (12 slot tall or 8 slot short) or 12 o’clock mounted red dots. The C1 ARC allows the accessories to be connected or disconnected without removal of the ARC itself thus maintaining zero of your primary optic.
Also new from Badger Ordnance for their 2020 C1 lineup is the C1 ACI (Angle Cosine Indicator) and C1 ACD (Anti Cant Device). The C1 ACI allows for the attachment of the Sniper Tools Design ACI directly to the C1 line of mounts. The C1 ACI can be configured in 2 different ride heights on the mount, high or low. The C1 ACD is a leveling instrument designed for the C1 line of mounts to ensure that a weapon system is level before a shot is taken. The level itself can be user calibrated to ensure that it is properly aligned to the user’s scope/weapon system. The C1 ACD housing also allows the end user to attach a commonly procured tritium vial to the level for use during low/no light operation.
Both the C1 ACI and ACD can be mounted left/right, fore/aft on any C1 Modular Mount port in a standalone fashion via the provided standalone puck or in conjuction with and opposing the C1 Offset Micro Sight J-Arms.
All products of the C1 line and others will be on display next week at SHOT Show 2020 in the Badger Ordnance booth #20005

The Shot Show has long held an important role in the capability development of the UK. This key opportunity to discuss needs with businesses and engage with our cousins across the pond is invaluable to the ongoing evolution of British military units.
At this time of flux the need is greater than ever, with the UK land forces looking closely at the missions it conducts and the equipment that it uses. The proliferation of non-state actors using conventional tactics and state actors using unconventional tactics has required a deep rethink on how the British conduct business and therefore leads to opportunity for innovative companies.
Key to the interests of the brands and business at Shot is the desire to decrease the time required to develop capability and deliver effect to the men and women on the front line. To that end Brigantes will be working alongside its partners in Team Wendy, Outdoor Research and Point Blank to discuss developments in personal protection and clothing with UK military units.
In addition to helping host UK visitors Brigantes is, for the first time, bringing some of the product developments that it has worked on with Helix, Silva, Scarpa, Snigel and Montane to the show for US visitors to get a chance to see and touch. These items will be with Mountain Horse on the Global Ordnance stand (3017).
If you wish to chat through any of the products covered by Brigantes or have questions about engaging with UK and European opportunities then please do not hesitate to get in touch.

SPITFIRE MKII Plate Carrier
The new SPITFIRE® MK II Plate Carrier version may look simpler, but in fact it is much more scalable and mission configurable. The designers have decided to strip the carrier of unnecessary PALS slots under the flap and on the back as well as enlarging the loop panel on the front for large LE patches, and we’ve also made it lighter than the standard version.
Thanks to numerous new flaps, back panels and cummerbunds users are able to modify and personalise the carrier the way they actually need it.
DYNYCO – brand new fabric
Direct Action will show a completely new material DYNYCO, which will be used to make Vanguard combat pants.
What is DYNYCO? Research & Development Direct Action department has developed a flexible yet robust and lightweight material that will protect the soldier but at the same time adapt to movements on the battlefield.
How was this done? Direct Action labs have started adding elastane to cotton and nylon to reduce the use of stretch material, balance flexibility and give the user the same comfort.
And so Dynamic NYCO, or DYNYCO for short, was born – one of the first flexible NYCO rip-stop material with 49% Nylon 48% Cotton 3% Elastan. From now on, your uniform can be really comfortable and durable.
