Darley Defense showed us their Stinger UAV. Manufactured in house, it has already been adopted by several fire agencies across the country.
Weighing in at less than 5 lbs, is manufactured from carbon fiber and incorporates either a Go Pro or FLIR camera. It boasts a range of up to 2 miles and a 30 minute flight duration. The kit comes with a control unit with video monitor but it can be connected to multiple other devices as well.
I’m a big fan of SureFire’s Sonic Defenders and use them anytime I don’t require full over the ear protection. The secret patented Hocks Noise Braker filter that allows sounds, at safe levels, to pass through into the ear canal, while potentially harmful noises (above 85dB) are reduced. If you aren’t familiar with these ear plugs they are molded from a hypoallergenic polymer for left and right ears and are also sized for proper fit. They also feature a stopper which can be closed, offering a 24dB Noise Reduction Rating (NRR).

TSE specializes in technical surveillance and specialized communications applications. They have developed a waterproof (IP 67 water and dust proof) camera system for K-9 use. In addition to its waterproof features, the extreme lowlight black and white wireless camera also offers IR sensing and illumination as well as excellent range (~300m in addition to 3 reinforced concrete walls with steel hatch doors). The system boasts a 2.5 hour run time and the camera mast is spring loaded so that it will not break off if the dog runs into an obstacle. The mast can also be stowed for rest periods and transport. The receiver unit incorporates a 2.5″ screen and can be wrist or chest mounted.
Analog and ROVER format friendly, the Situational Awareness Video Receiver (SAVR) from Harris is a portable, handheld ISR video receiver. It gives you access to over 95% of fielded downlinks from manned and unmanned secure air assets. In addition to acting as a stand-alone, handheld video receiver, the SAVR is compatible with other Harris multiband radios such as the AN/PRC-152A and the AN/PRC-117G. The 7800T can also inject streaming video into a tactical network. Additionally, it offers the JTRS compliant SCA 2.2 operating environment that keeps track emerging digital data link (DDL) and encryption standards through software-only upgrades. Planned upgrades include digital waveforms, streaming MPEG-4/H.264 over RNDIS USB Video, metadata output in CoT format and other useful visual augmentation of video feeds.

The TNVC TM-EO is a low-profile mount that adapts the EOTech 3X Magnifier to the Aimpoint Twist Mount Base, allowing operators to add magnification to their red dot optic. It attaches to the EOTech 3X Magnifier via two included bolts and places it at a “tall mount” height (lower 1/3 cowitness). The Aimpoint Twist Mount System is a highly versatile QD mount for affixing various optics to a weapon through its spring-loaded base that stays semi-permanently attached to the weapon’s receiver while the mount interface stays attached to the optic accessory. When the user requires the optic, he can quickly to add it to the gun, and remove it when not needed. This lowers the profile of the overall weapon platform while reducing weight. The TNVC TM-EO marries products from the two top red dot manufacturers in the market, providing a very versatile option to the operator.
Their TM-14 Twist Mount Adapter for the AN/PVS-14 night vision goggle has been a huge success. It allows two very useful optics to be swapped on the rifle: the Aimpoint 3X Magnifier and the AN/PVS-14 goggle. But, many users of EOTech products (a significant portion of the market) have not been able to embrace the TM14 because they would have to give up their magnifiers. But fear not, EOTech users; TNVC has you covered. Simply use the TNVC TM-EO and you can have the best of both worlds!
Designed as an intermediate-range night sight, the WASP CNVD is a new Picatinny Rail compatible, Clip-On Night Vision Device offered by TNVC, Inc. Offering clear night vision between 4X and 12X, the WASP CNVD produces relies on a 70mm Catadioptric Lens System that operates at an incredibly fast f/1.14 speed. According to TNVC, the image quality rivals that of most clip-on sights on the market at powers below 10X.
Clip-On Night Sights are preferred by most operators for their versatility, being able to attach to multiple weapon platforms while producing less bulk and weight in the field compared to having to carry a complete night vision-equipped rifle on top of the shooter’s primary. The WASP CNVD is factory aligned to hold 0.5 MOA or better. Repeatability is achieved through the use of a Larue Tactical LT105 Quick Detach Mount. The WASP CNVD is powered by a single CR123A Lithium Battery in an O-Ring sealed compartment making the device weather resistant to rain and snow.
The WASP CNVD is available in two image intensifier tube configurations. The ITT Gen3 PINNACLE Tube version is warranteed up to/including 7.62 NATO while the L-3 OMNI VIII MilSpec Contract Tube Version is warranteed up to/including .50 BMG. The WASP CNVD comes complete with a custom padded MOLLE pouch, Light Shield, Operator Manual, Quick Reference Card, Lens Cleaning Tissue, and Tube Data Sheet.

The sentinel is is now shipping. It’s manufactured completely from Delrin and aluminum. It can use the ball and plunger or dovetail mounts and incorporates onboard power but can also accept remote power via the ball and plunger mount connected to a battery pack. It also features a short range and long IR illuminator and available with standard gen III and white phosphor tubes.
Additionally, Adams displayed a prototype illuminated magazine floor plate for navigation. They are still finalizing a few features but you should see these soon.
