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.”

PDW Ti-Line Cookwear

Premium Titanium Cookware for Trekking, Camping and Overlanding

Prometheus Design Werx introduces their new collection of Ti-Line Cookware. Light, strong, durable and corrosion-proof, the first three pieces offered in their new cookware collection cover the baseline needs of the solo wilderness adventurer and explorer. The Ti- Line 600ML Mini-Pot/Mug, Sierra Cup, and Spork, all feature folding handles for easier packing inside a pack, and ideally suited for use with compact, pocket and survival stoves. From trekking, backpacking, camping to overlanding these essential pieces of premium titanium cookware round out your loadout for your next journey and adventure into the wilderness and beyond. Pieces from the PDW Ti-Line have a Lifetime Warranty.

The Ti-Line Collection from Prometheus Design Werx will introduce new models as they are developed.

The Design and R&D Team at PDW states:

“When it comes to durable performance cookware for the backcountry that will last a lifetime, there is nothing that can really compare to titanium for its strength to weight ratio, and of course, it’s impervious to corrosion. We actually found a special grade of titanium alloy to use in our pieces that’s unlike the other similar pieces currently on the market. Besides the well known benefits of titanium in backcountry cookware, ours also resists the oils from handling and finger prints, and forms exceptionally well to the tooling and molds we made to create these various cookware styles. Our 600ML Mini-Pot/Mug was designed to pair with pocket survival stoves, which fit neatly inside for efficient packing. It’s made to a sweet spot volume of 600ML which fits a pack of instant noodles and the appropriate amount of broth plus extras. As lifelong backpackers, we wanted to have our own version of the classic, versatile and iconic Sierra Cup, and what more universal of an eating utensil can you have than a spork. We’re working on additional models to add to our Ti-Line collection so keep an eye out for upcoming releases. Our first three offerings will be the essentials of a solo cookware kit for the wilderness adventurer.”

The new PDW Ti-Line will be available on Wednesday, May 8, 2019 at 12:00 noon PT via their website, prometheusdesignwerx.com.

Lorica Nostrum to Exhibit their Integrated Combat System at ISDEF2019 in Israel

Tuesday, May 7th, 2019

It is a pleasure to announce that Lorica Nostrum, an European Company, will Exhibit their Integrated Combat System (I.C.S.) during ISDEF2019, Israel, next June 4-6th 2019.

On June 3rd there will be a Range Day where the System may be tested by the operators.

It was invented during Close Protection Team missions in Afghanistan, between years 2002 and 2004. The project was classified by our government and it just has been cleared for governmental agencies, military and L&E units.

The Integrated Combat System (I.C.S.) has been designed to work in special covert missions where a very low recognition profile is required, cloaked as a sport backpack.

Its design provides a tactical advantage which allows Special Forces soldiers to obtain an operational superiority, carrying the same weapons, ballistic protection and mission equipment in a covert and comfortable manner, enabling the soldier to use this system in its full offensive envelope, while the soldier mingles with the crowd untill the operation starts.

It has been tested in operations, Static Line jumps, Military Free fall jumps, and waterborne operations.

It is compatible with more than 250 current weapons, assault rifles, carbines, SMGs, PDWs, grenade launchers, and handguns.

As options, the system may include:

1. An integrated positive buoyancy device for water operations,

2. An integrated harness for helicopter operations (SPIE or HRST),

3. A geolocation device,

4. RFID tags for better logistics,

5. It may be custom made, in size, colours and materials.

Worldwide and European Patent, US Patent #US10188197B2. Also patented in China, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Russian Federation, Spain and UK.

NSN Pending

It is manufactured under Military Regulation PECAL/AQAP-2110 and Quality Regulation UNE-EN-ISO 9001:2008
