RRT THiEF System

Friday, February 5th, 2016

While visiting with Regulus Global during SHOT Show, something caught my eye.  It was Tactical Handheld Emitter Finder System from Radio Reconnaissance Technologies.  THiEF provides intercept and Radio Direction Finding Line of Bearing against VHF and UHF, analog, single-channel, push-to-talk transmitters.

 

I’ve used a variety of radio direction finding systems when I was in the service. But, they were much larger, and heavier. Take a look at the THiEF’s antenna head. It’s so compact, it could be integrated into a helmet or other equipment as a body worn system.

The Controller/Display weighs just 15 oz and the Receiver/Antenna comes in at 16.5 oz.

 

THiEF uses a custom controller to provide the operator with an intuitive, easy-to-learn User Interface with full audio recoring and playback along with a map display.

RRT’s THiEF is available for qualified international customers through Regulus Global.

Beamshot – Insider Multi-Function Laser Light System

Thursday, February 4th, 2016

Rather than just a single light device, Beamshot’s Imsider is actually a system, consisting of multiple, plug-and-play components which can be quickly configured. In fact, it offers a minimum of two, and up to four different aiming and illumination combinations.

The system incorporates a visible laser sight (Red or Green) with either an IR or White LED or even an IR laser sight or laser illuminator. Multifunction light modes give you the flexibility for momentary, constant on, strobe and dimmer operation ambidextrously. The base model offers an infrared or 500 Lumen LED light. Upgrades include a red or green visible laser sight, an IR laser sight, a laser illuminator as well as a camera module or thermal camera module.

The battery power supply is interestingly contained in the pistol grip. They’ve developed a push-button system to “fast reload” a battery pack. The pistol grip also features a built-in switch, allowing one hand to operate the rifle, laser and light while giving you a free hand for another task. You can also see the wire chase which conforms to the side of the receiver.

 

Although shown here on an AR, they are also developing a variant for the AK. Finally, the Insider MFLLS is certified to IP67 Waterproof standards.

Post SHOT Show Wrapup – CORE Survival’s PIM for Hel-Star 6

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2016

Program Interface Module For Field Re-Programming of the HEL-STAR 6 & F2

The PIM-701 is a handheld, wireless device that allows military users to re-program the four functions of selected HEL-STAR 6 and F2 models in the field. The PIM itself is programmed through a USB connection to a Windows-based computer or laptop using software that is included with and downloaded from the PIM. Setting new functions in the PIM is handled through an easy to learn, image-oriented graphical user interface.

The PIM functions wirelessly through an infrared (IR) interface with the HEL-STAR over distances of a few feet. The PIM can either re-program any or all of the four factory-installed functions (the NEW PGM button), or to return the HEL-STAR to its original factory settings (the DEFAULT button). The HEL-STAR device provides visible or visible and vibratory confirmation of both program mode readiness and acceptance of the new program or default instructions. The PIM re-programming system provides various protocols and automatic time-outs to prevent inadvertent re-programming and
conserve battery capacity.

Post SHOT Show Wrapup – Tikka Canada Ranger Rifle

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2016

Last year, the Canadian military chose a Tikka rifle to replace the .303 Lee-Enfield No. 4 rifles long issued to their Rangers. Generally, the Canadian Rangers are First Nation and live along the country’s vast frontier. More of a militia than a standing military force, they assume duties as scouts while they conduct their day-to-day tasks and receive a stipend, rifle and training.

 

The Canadians plan to buy about 6,820 of this version of the Tikka T3 Compact Tactical Rifle designated for service as the C-19. As you probably know, Tikka is owned by Beretta and is the sister company of their Sako brand. Tikka is well known as a great value for hunters. These will not be manufactured in Finland but rather by Colt Canada although Stoeger is handling the deal.

This rifle features a 20″ barrel in .308 with a 1:11 twist. The bolt action is fed by a detachable 10 round magazine. You’ll also notice the laminate stock and oversized trigger guard for use with cold weather handwear.

Although this display model is shown with a Steiner scope, it is my understanding they will be issued with just the iron sights. However, this does demonstrate the rifle’s scope mount and it’s also a BDT company.
