Team SIG’s Max Michel Continues to Dominate in Carry Optics at the 2019 Magnus Cup

Sunday, May 12th, 2019

NEWINGTON, N.H., (May 10, 2019) –SIG SAUER, Inc. congratulates Team SIG Captain, Max Michel for his first-place finish in the Carry Optics Division at the 2019 Magnus Sports Cup held May 1-5, 2019 at the Southern Utah Practical Shooting Range in Washington, Utah.

“It’s great to see Max continue his win streak in the Carry Optics Division, and do it with the SIG SAUER Electro-Optics ROMEO3MAX Optic,” said Tom Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer, and Executive Vice President Commercial Sales, SIG SAUER, Inc. “Max was not only the fastest shooter at the Magnus Cup within his division, but one of the most accurate shooters amongst all 450 competitors as well. His determination to continually better his performance in carry optics, and dedication to his training shows in the results, and his continued wins for Team SIG.”

To claim his first place finish at the 2019 Magnus Sports Cup, Max competed through 17 courses of fire using his P320X5, the soon to be released ROMEO3MAX open reflex sight, and SIG SAUER 9mm, 147 grain, Match Elite Competition Ammunition.

“This was the first ever Magnus Cup and it did not disappoint. The match challenged all of the physical and technical skills an IPSC shooter would need to possess in order to be at the top of their game,” added Michel. “My gear ran perfectly. The SIG Match Elite Ammunition was extremely accurate, and my ROMEO3MAX optic continues to turn heads because of my performance, and my P320X5 ran beautifully. I’m really proud to say that everything that helped me take first in the Carry Optics Division was a SIG SAUER product.”

Schiebel Wins Norway’s Tender For Unmanned Air System Deployment In The Arctic

Sunday, May 12th, 2019

Vienna, 2 May 2019 – Norway’s Andøya Test Center selected Schiebel’s market- leading CAMCOPTER® S-100 Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) Unmanned Air System (UAS) for extensive search and rescue trials as part of the Arctic 2030 project.

The CAMCOPTER® S-100 was selected for its exemplary international reputation and its successful record of accomplishments in the maritime domain with customers all around the world. In a typical configuration, the CAMCOPTER® S-100 operates six hours continuously and is able to simultaneously carry multiple payloads, offering significant payload flexibility to the user. Therefore, the S-100’s missions deliver aerial views that reach considerably farther than manned helicopters.

The S-100 also offers a number of key advantages for naval operations in the Arctic. As a VTOL platform, the CAMCOPTER® does not require any additional start or recovery equipment and its minimal footprint is perfect for offshore patrol vessels (OPVs) with small deck sizes. The S-100 also distinguishes itself through its ability to perform in the harshest weather conditions, flying at temperatures down to -40°C. This has been successfully proven in a series of intensive trials, such as the Canadian icebreaker operations. In this particular case, the CAMCOPTER® S-100 was deployed 60 nautical miles north of Fogo Island, providing a wide-view image of the ice structure as well as identifying the boundaries between flat and rough ice.

The goal of the Andøy Municipality project is a demonstration of VTOL UAS use in the Arctic region in an effort to increase maritime safety. For this purpose, the CAMCOPTER® S-100 will be equipped with an Electro-Optical/Infra-Red (EO/IR) camera gimbal, an Overwatch Imaging PT-8 Oceanwatch payload, an Automatic Identification System (AIS) receiver and a Maritime Broadband Radio (MBR) by Radionor. Such a combination of payloads is intended to strengthen emergency preparedness in the region and provide search and rescue mission support.

Tests are scheduled to commence in the fall of 2019 with the UAS being deployed from Norwegian Coast Guard vessels in Andfjorden, Northern Norway. More operations are planned in Spitsbergen in the spring of 2020.

“This is clearly an important milestone in the project,” said Gunnar Jan Olsen, General Manager of the Andøya Test Center. “We have already gained some experience with the Schiebel CAMCOPTER® S-100 UAS during an impressive demonstration in 2017. We believe that these current, more extensive S-100 trials will demonstrate that maritime safety in the Arctic can effectively be increased with the help of VTOL UAS.”

“The CAMCOPTER® S-100 has performed a series of challenging demonstration flights in the Arctic over the years and has proven its operational value and mission effectiveness,” added Hans Georg Schiebel, Chairman of the Schiebel Group.

NDIA Favors Executive Order Moving Security Clearances to Pentagon

Saturday, May 11th, 2019

ARLINGTON, VA – The National Defense Industrial Association offers the following statement regarding the executive order from the White House, signed Wednesday evening, that transfers the governmentwide suitability, credentialing and security clearance portfolio from the Office of Personnel Management to the Defense Department:

NDIA supports the administration’s decision, announced today, to transfer responsibility for all security clearances to the Pentagon. It’s a solid step that consolidates process and resources with the excellent work Pentagon officials have done to build the concepts and infrastructure of a modernized security clearance ecosystem.

This measure bodes well to solve the security clearance backlog; moreover, it offers a way ahead for more interagency security clearance reciprocity and, ultimately, a modern, trusted workforce across agencies and industry that is essential to our national security.

Team Wendy Participates in a Ceremony at the JUSMAG Office in Manila to Replace a Battle Damaged EXFIL Ballistic Helmet that Saved The Life of a Filipino Marine

Friday, May 10th, 2019

Team Wendy®, in conjunction with the Joint U.S. Military Assistance Group (JUSMAG) and the U.S. Embassy in Manila, recently participated in a ceremony to replace a battle-damaged helmet for a member of the Philippine Force Reconnaissance Group.

A Filipino Marine was recently hit in the helmet by a rifle round at close range while conducting counterterrorism operations. Team Wendy’s EXFIL® Ballistic stopped the round and the Marine survived. Team Wendy provided a new helmet to the Philippine Marine Corps to replace the damaged helmet.

“It was such a unique opportunity to meet with the Marines and hear the after-action report firsthand,” said Mike Romanchek, Director of Sales and Business Development for Team Wendy. “The EXFIL Ballistic has a number of saves against rifle rounds, but this was the first time it was presented publicly. It was an honor for us to meet with our allies and discuss the conditions in which they’re operating and how critically high-quality protective headgear benefits them in the fight.”

The affected Marine also received other wounds and didn’t realize at the time that he had also been shot in the head.

The U.S. collaborates with the Marine Force Reconnaissance Group and the Philippines at large on counterterrorism efforts to address the shared extremist threat. The EXFIL Ballistic was procured for the Filipino Marines via the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program facilitated by JUSMAG located at the U.S. Embassy in Manila.

The helmet exchange took place at the JUSMAG offices in the U.S. Embassy in Manila on April 8, 2019. The damaged helmet was given to JUSMAG as a symbol of gratitude. Representatives from JUSMAG, the Philippine Force Reconnaissance Group and Team Wendy were present.

“We have a sign on the floor of our manufacturing facility that says ‘the work you do saves lives every day,’” said Romanchek. “This is something our entire team is hyper-aware of, and it’s always incredible to hear testimonials like this.”
