The Moog Reconfigurable Integrated-Weapons Platform to Feature Five Distinct Configurations at AUSA 2024

Saturday, October 12th, 2024

Moog and General Dynamics Land Systems plan daily configuration changes in respective booths to demonstrate multiple mission capabilities.
East Aurora, NY (Oct 14, 2024) – Moog Inc. (NYSE: MOG.A and MOG.B) Defense Division’s Reconfigurable Integrated-weapons Platform (RIwP®) will feature five unique launcher configurations across two locations during the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) Annual Meeting and Exposition 2024. In the Moog booth #1051, the RIwP turret will be displayed on a stand to demonstrate its platform-agnostic design. General Dynamics Land Systems also will feature a RIwP turret integrated with its TRX Defender robotic combat vehicle in booth #703. RIwP is a proven modular, and scalable remote turret offering unmatched capacity to host multi-domain payloads for current and future ground-combat platforms. This remote weapon platform offers air defense, anti-armor, or multi-mission capabilities via world-class, precision medium-caliber and indirect fires.

“We are excited to showcase multiple configurations of the RIwP turret for the U.S. Army at AUSA 2024. The daily configuration changes across the Moog and General Dynamics Land Systems’ booths will demonstrate how this product can transform to meet the changing needs of our complex battlefield. This is a shining example of industry coordination and an extension of the multi-year TRX collaboration between General Dynamics Land Systems and Moog,” said Tony Peck, Turreted Weapon Systems Director, Moog Inc. On day one, Moog will feature RIwP with a 30mm gun, Stinger and Coyote missile launchers, and radars. On day two, RIwP will be outfitted with an APKWS 70mm rocket launcher and a Stinger launcher along with the 30mm gun and radars. Both configurations are designed to meet air defense and counter-small unmanned aircraft systems (C-sUAS) missions.

The RIwP turret on the TRX Defender in General Dynamics Land Systems’ booth also will change each of the three days of AUSA. Supported by RIwP’s multi-mission payload modularity options, the TRX Defender is designed to protect formations against air and ground threats in a Mission Command on the Move scenario, relieving subordinate units from being tasked for command post defense.

Product and company names listed are trademarks or trade names of their respective companies.

The Moog exhibit will also feature other defense solutions including the Flexible Mission Platform (FMPTM), Control Actuation Systems (CAS) for precision missile steering, a Portable Weapon Management System (PWMS), avionics systems, and high-performance integrated rotary solutions including slip rings, motion control, and media conversion.

Kratos Design Group Announces “Hera” & “Hera Lite” Bag Riders for Magpul SL & SL-S Stocks

Thursday, October 3rd, 2024

The Hera Bag Rider from Kratos Design Group is an accessory for the Magpul SL & SL-S line of stocks. It provides 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 1 oz the Hera adds over 2 inches of surface area to the bottom of your stock. The Hera Lite is a smaller version that weighs 0.8 ounces and adds over 1.5 inches of surface area.

At launch, the Hera and Hera Lite are offered in Black. Magoul FDE & ODG will be released shortly after.

The Hera line will also be seeing bag riders for Magpul CTR, B5 Sopmod, & 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.

Forward Control Designs Introduces Muzzle Devices for Allen Engineering Suppressors

Thursday, October 3rd, 2024

Forward Controls is excited to introduce our latest Muzzle Devices for Allen Engineering Suppressors: the 6315AE & 6310AE! While the Mk12 brake is well-known and, by our strict standards, actually a pretty good muzzle brake, we understand that there are often major benefits to using a flash hider instead. The 6315AE is a version of our 6315 that’s been designed to accept Allen Engineering 223 sound suppressors. The 6315 itself is based on the TDP A2 compensator and features smaller 3 and 9-o’clock ports. This forces more gas to be vented through the top 3 ports. Over the years, we’ve added small improvements; the most notable is the internal grooves that help keep the flash inside the cone cavity, rather than outside the muzzle device. Flats are incorporated for installation using a standard AR15/M16 armorer’s wrench or a 3/4″ wrench.

For those familiar with our naming conventions, you may have already deduced the calibers and thread pitches these devices are designed for. However, let’s recap:

• The 6310AE is for 30 caliber firearms, with a 5/8 x 24 thread pitch.

• The 6315AE is for .223/5.56 caliber, with a 1/2 x 28 thread pitch.

Both muzzle devices can be found here: www.forwardcontrolsdesign.com/allen-engineering

Both muzzle devices share a length of 1.88″ and weigh 2.30 oz. They’re crafted from 4140 steel and feature a black nitride finish. True to our commitment, these are designed, manufactured, and materials sourced entirely within the USA.
