Eurosatory, Paris, June 13-17, Hall 6, Stand JH512

7 June 2022, XTEND – a company specializing in human-guided autonomous drone operating systems for military forces and law enforcement agencies – will present its Xtender Gen2 indoor tactical UAS and provide a first look at the Wolverine Gen2, its multi-mission UAS (MMU) system, at Eurosatory 2022.

The company will also showcase its nest UAS solution, integrated with Easy Aerial’s EGV 50 compact autonomous drone-nest solution for military vehicles and Plasan’s ultralight armored vehicle, the WILDER, shown on Plasan’s Stand EXT Pe6B, Stand E231.

The collaboration between the three companies brings new capabilities to the battlefield. Forces can now perform indoor and outdoor missions safely from within the armored vehicle, and remotely perform tasks such as IED clearance while on patrol and assessment of suspicious facilities encountered.

In enhancing the Xtender’s Edge AI capabilities, XTEND has recently partnered with SightX, which is developing a mission-critical, real-time Edge AI engine, bringing revolutionary deep-learning capabilities to real-world problems.  This collaboration enhances the autonomous capabilities of the Xtender platform, helping the human operator with the detection and classification of entry points and objects.

“Working hand in hand with the world’s prime forces – XTEND continuously strives to enhance its offering and “Swiss Army Knife” capability concept by providing multiple payloads and applications. Now, with the various launch and carrying options, such as armed vehicles nesting – we are pushing the boundaries of UAS mission capabilities even further” says Ido Baron, VP of Business Development and Sales of XTEND.

 

SK Customs Releases The HAKA in Stainless, Part Two of a Two Part Limited-Edition Production Designer Series Colt 1911

June 9th, 2022

HAYMARKET, VA – June 3, 2022 – SK Customs pays tribute to Haka Ka Mate with the launch of The HAKA, part two of a two-part limited-edition production designer series Colt 1911.

HAKA Ka Mate pre-dates the 19th Century and is defined as a Warriors Mantra; an expression consisting of every part of the body. Today Haka is performed in many reverences most predominately by the New Zealand Champion National Rugby Club and in other arrays throughout the world in both a ceremonial and threatening show of force through rhythmic moving of the body. 

“The Haka is a ceremonial dance in M?ori culture and represents a display of a tribe’s pride, strength and unity,” said Simon Khiabani, owner and founder of SK Guns and SK Customs. “As we continue to release limited-edition firearms, we will continue to pay tribute to traditions and cultures from around the world.”

This final iteration of The HAKA is presented on a Full-Size Colt Classic 1911 Series 70 .38 Super and comes in a high polish stainless steel frame, slide and accents. The HAKA also features:

• High polished silver nation matched barrel

• Gold plated and high polished magazine release

• Grip screws

• Barrel brushing and spurred hammer with 24K gold etched motifs

• Diamond studded factory front staked sight

• Super Bright White Ivory polymer engraved grips

The HAKA comes with a limited-edition series number from 001 of 200 etched in 24K gold behind the right slide serrations. The HAKA is the final legacy of this two-part limited-edition designer series with The MANA distinguishing the series.

The HAKA can be pre-ordered for $3,200.

A-TACS Original AU Returns

June 9th, 2022

COLUMBUS, GA.- A-TACS® answers the call with the rerelease of the company’s flagship pattern: Original AU®.  The decision to bring Original AU back to market was made by consumer demand. “It was through discussions with our brand partners and end-user inquiries for product availability in A-TACS AU, that we felt the timing was right to rerelease,” said Phil Duke (owner, pattern designer).

Production of A-TACS AU in a variety of substrates (50/50 NYCO, NYCO Extreme – available in pigment print or VAT dye, 500D cordura, and webbing) have begun stateside with additional overseas production coming soon.  Phil Duke, owner of Digital Concealment Systems, LLC. (DCS) also added, “we are truly excited as a company to bring Original AU back and look forward to seeing new uniform styles and cutting-edge tactical gear on the market.”  

A-TACS Original AU (Arid/Urban) first launched at the inception of the A-TACS brand in 2009.  Being the first company to introduce the “pattern within a pattern” concept, which utilized micro patterns segmented into larger macro patterns.  The use of effective color grouping combined with innovative camouflage design enhanced the pattern’s natural ability to break up the human outline and create visual distortion at a greater distance.  Patterns developed within the A-TACS brand are utilized worldwide by military personnel, Special Operation Forces, Law Enforcement, private contractors, government agencies, as well as recreational enthusiasts.  A-TACS continues as a trusted name in the camouflage industry long known for the development of creative theatre specific concealment solutions. 

Digital Concealment Systems (DCS) is the only company in the concealment industry developing patterns for all facets of the market.  In 2007, founder and pattern designer Phil Duke left a marketing and pattern design position at one of the top two camo brands in the outdoor industry to form his own camouflage company NEXT Camo®, LLC.  Where the company introduced a series of successful traditional realistic “leaf and twig” camouflage patterns and later founded it’s two sister companies A-TACS Camo and Raider Concealment®.  DCS specializes in bringing both hunting and tactical camouflage patterns to market in a wide variety of applications.   

A-TACS Camo, since beginning in 2009, has deployed with various Tactical Professionals, Law Enforcement and Special Operations personnel in a wide array of hotspots around the globe.  The camo patterns are designed for maximum effectiveness in the widest possible range of operational environments worldwide.  A-TACS Camo patterns are created using a far greater range of inter-mingled natural colors that are blended and overlayed into one another creating a more naturalistic appearance.  Our goal from day one has been to provide head to toe Total Concealment and Protection for the end-user. 

Building on over 20 plus years of experience in the design and development of comprehensive concealment solutions, A-TACS is pleased to announce the rerelease of Original AU.
