UNITY Tactical Launches FAST Accessory Riser

Thursday, November 14th, 2024

Multiuse Tool Raises Lasers, Optics and Thermals

BROUSSARD, LA. (Nov. 14, 2024) – UNITY™ Tactical, a designer of components that integrate tactical systems and optimize the human factor, announced the launch of the FAST™ Accessory Riser today. The third riser in the FAST line, it is a versatile tool that raises a variety of lasers, opticsand thermals to enable a heads-up posture.

Featuring a machined slot for cable routing, it is primarily designed to raise a rail-mounted laser by 0.725″.

Covering only three slots on an M1913 Rail, it creates a 2.26″ optical centerline from the rail when paired with the Sig Sauer® ROMEO8T or the Leupold™ LCO®. It also brings the Trijicon® SkeetIR™x or the Pixels on Target™ VooDoo-S™ to a 2.26″ optical centerline when those thermal optics are mounted on a UNITY™ CTM™.

“The FAST Accessory Riser is a compact, multi-use mounting solution, and the first mount in the FAST line designed to raise many different optical and laser device solutions,” said Mike Roth, VP of business development for UNITY Tactical. “As we continue to build the FAST ecosystem, it is critical that we take a systems approach to enhance the capabilities of these technical devices supporting multiple platforms and shooting preferences.”

FAST Accessory Riser comes standard with a 2 cross bolt rail clamp and is available in black or FDE. It includes a lifetime warranty and retails for $99. It is available for purchase now through authorized UNITY dealers and on UNITYtactical.com.

Kratos Design Group Expands “Hera” Bag Rider Product Line to include SOPMOD Stocks

Friday, November 1st, 2024

Building on the existing options for Magpul SL & SL-S stocks, Kratos Design Group announces a new addition to fit SOPMOD & Enhanced SOPMOD stocks.

The Hera Bag Riders provide more surface area to contact your rear support bag giving you some benefits of a precision stock while maintaining the small profile and features of an assaulter-style stock. Designed to fit perfectly with the contours of the stock, it seamlessly integrates as part of the stock.

A defining feature of the Hera bag rider is the ability to store a ¼” bit and a Multitasker Nano optic adjustment tool giving the user a method to have tools with your rifle at all times (sold separately).

The Hera features a very aggressive texture on the bottom to ensure positive contact with the rear bag and prevent slippage.

The design incorporates multiple tabs and an alloy steel bolt to securely hold the bag rider in place. One of the tabs integrates with the bottom sling mount and prevents the bag rider from moving up and down along the stock.

Weighing just 0.9 oz the Hera adds over 2 inches of surface area to the bottom of your stock.

The Hera bag Rider for Sopmod stocks are available in Black. FDE & ODG will be released shortly after.

Plans to further expand the Hera line include bag riders for Magpul CTR & B5 Bravo stocks and will be released later in 2024.

Backed by a lifetime warranty and Made in T exas, the Hera Bag Rider is designed to last for years of service and provide you with a stable foundation for shooting with magnified optics.

The Kratos Design Group Hera & Hera Lite bag riders are available directly from Kratos or at any of their dealers.

XTech Tactical Expands and Re-Brands MAG47 10/30 AK Magazines to Freedom

Thursday, October 17th, 2024

Tempe, Arizona

The XTech Tactical MAG47® 10/30 AK-47 magazines are widely accepted as the premier AK magazines for those living in states with unconstitutional restrictions on magazine capacity. To date, the 10/30 product line has been known as the “Commufornia Special”.

As of October, 2024, all 10/30 magazines for the 7.62 AK variants will fall under the “Freedom Series™”. The company will continue to offer its “Free State Adaptors™” which allow the user to convert their 10/30 magazines to 30rds when or if their state laws change or they relocate.

Most producers of magazines have cowardly and/or lazily produced limited capacity magazines where the customer oftencannot service or convert their magazines. Much of this direction is based on the most globally extreme national or state government laws around magazine permanence.  As a result,magazines presently available for most consumers residing inrestricted states are significantly more limited beyond their state laws. These limitations include not being able to clean theirmagazine, replace a spring, or modify the magazine when/if their state’s laws change or they relocate.

“We firmly believe in the right of all Americans to highly reliable and durable standard capacity magazines. The Commufornia Special branding was fun, but our focus is on impact for our rights and the messaging that goes with Freedom Series better speaks to our objectives as a brand. Our hope is that within the coming years, the Supreme Court will overturn each of the unconstitutional state laws. Until that day, we will provide those states the best magazines possible. This move also brings consistency with our upcoming product releases”, stated Jeremy Deadman, company president.

Additionally, the MAG47 10/30 Freedom Series line has been expanded to include the:

MAG47 ELITE, Rotten Banana Clip™, Banana Clip™, Fakelite, Spam Can, Red, Plum, & Splatter

BAE Systems and Kongsberg Sign Teaming Agreement for New Platform Situational Awareness Tool

Wednesday, October 16th, 2024

16 Oct 2024

The Integrated Combat Solution tool will give Warfighters the situational awareness they need for any mission, as well as options to respond to potential threats

BAE Systems has entered into a teaming agreement with Kongsberg Defence and Aerospace to bring Integrated Combat Solution (ICS) to the U.S. defense market. The transformational battlefield situational awareness tool for combat vehicles will provide the Warfighter with the capability to link and share video streams, metadata, target information, slew-to-cue commands, and much more, reducing the typical threat response speed from minutes to seconds. Together, with Kongsberg developing the ICS tool and BAE Systems integrating it onto combat vehicles, the companies will support technology upgrades through the product lifecycles.

“The ability for troops to rapidly pass targeting information across the battlefield to other platforms and engage a target remotely is critical to their mission,” Andy Corea, vice president and general manager of BAE Systems’ Combat Mission Systems business, said. “The combined talents of Kongsberg’s innovation and expertise in remote weapon systems and our lead systems integration capability provides the Warfighter the opportunity to obtain fully integrated enhanced combat capability – helping them stay aware and unmatched in battle.”

ICS is a tool that can be used across the U.S. Marine or U.S. Army’s fleet of vehicles as a critical enabler of their mission. Built with an open-systems approach, ICS can be integrated on any battlefield platform equipped with a weapon system and on-board sensors – keeping troops aware and safer in the fight. ICS will give Warfighters more options to respond to potential threats, matching the rapid pace of warfare in the future. ICS uses an integrated network to link the sensors on different battlefield assets together, allowing command and control of weapon stations, turrets, jammers and other effectors from a single screen inside the vehicle.

“Together we will deliver ICS as a core enabler of modern warfare, providing all-domain visibility, command and control,” said Kjetil Reiten Myhra, executive vice president defence systems, Kongsberg Defence and Aerospace. “This force multiplier streamlines complicated threat responses, networking mobility platforms and other assets for increased combat capability.”

The ICS capability has already been demonstrated on the Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV) and Armored Multi-Purpose vehicle platforms, and the combined team of BAE Systems and Kongsberg looks forward to the opportunity to provide it across the ground combat forces. The ICS system is also featured at the BAE Systems booth (#6041) at AUSA this week on the Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV) platform, further demonstrating the team’s ability to integrate it on different combat vehicles.
