Flimmuur Tactical – Tigerstripe Velcro for Peltor Comtacs
June 7th, 2022CANSEC 22 – CADEX Defence
June 7th, 2022This is something a bit outside the defense realm but it’s doing a lot to inform future long range precision engagement. Meet the Cadex Defence CDX-50 TREMOR single single shot rifle configured for Extreme Long Range competitive shooting. It’s chambered for .416 Barrett although they also offer 50 BMG and 10x 100 BWA.
It features a 40” Barrel and is pretty heavy at around 40 lbs when fully kitted out with weights in order to provide stability during firing for the projectiles three mile journey to its target which takes about 10 seconds. The shooter has already reloaded while the bullet is in flight and takes direction for the next shot from spotters tracking the round.
You’ll also notice the ski-style bipod feet. The bipod itself slides along a track at the bottom of the chassis which integrates several MOA of adjustment in order to keep the shooter stable the further out it moves.
CANSEC 22 – Confections Carcajou
June 7th, 2022
Confections Carcajou unveiled their new laser cut modular chest rig system. Designed with a gas gun equipped sniper in mind, the mag pouches accept 7.62 magazines but will also take 5.56 mags. It’s offered in a split front or single piece front with removable wings which Velcro in place. So far they have created GO and PALS wings but expect more in the future.
CANSEC 22 – Mawashi
June 7th, 2022Mawashi designs and builds human augmentation exoskeletons. Their latest creation is this upper body chassis which is so new, they don’t even have a name for it yet.
It is meant to weighing about five pounds, the design allows the wearer to carry up to 45 pounds with no additional fatigue. The burden is borne by the spine system and transferred to the hips rather than at the shoulders.
As you can see, this exoskeleton mimics the skeletal system, but is external to your body. These systems have no external power. The original Uprise (Ultralight Passive Ruggedized Integrated Soldier Exoskeleton) transfers the weight all the way to the ground. This upper body exoskeleton is a more simple and lower cost option for those who wear armor and have basic load carriage requirements like guards or vehicle mounted troops while the Uprise full body exoskeleton is more appropriate for those who most move overland by foot and carry additional equipment.
Above you can see the UPRISE and new UPLIFT flanking the upper body system. The Ultralight Passive Load-bearing Innovative Frame Technology was created for industrial applications but is already under evaluation of logistics use in several militaries. UPLIFT assists the wearer during lift, move, and carry tasks through three mechanical passive systems at the shoulders, back, and knees. Since current battery lifetimes are too short for an eight-hour workday, UPLIFT uses a mechanical clutch with springs.
CANSEC 22 – Non-Stop Defence
June 7th, 2022Exhibiting in the Millbrook Tactical stand at CANSEC, Non-Stop Defence is a Norwegian specialist equipment manufacturer.
Their extreme cold weather parka and trouser is shown here with several other arctic warfare technologies offered by Millbrook Tactical.

Additionally, they offer an Anorak with a long skirt-style hem that hangs to the knees. The hem can be drawn up with a drawstring to increase mobility over difficult terrain.
In the case of either jacket, it incorporates a helmet compatible hood with three points of adjustment and plenty of pockets, including inside, to keep the water in bottles in its liquid state, or to carry battery powered items near the body.

Using VR Through VALOR to Improve Combat Casualty Care
June 7th, 2022HURLBURT FIELD, Fla. —
The 24th Special Operations Wing Surgeon General’s office has implemented the use of virtual reality training devices, in partnership with SimX, throughout special tactics to maintain the critical pararescueman’s skill in an ever-changing operational environment.
“The operational mission is going to continue to grow in complexity in the future fight,” said U.S. Air Force Col. John Dorsch, 24th SOW Surgeon General. “The PJs must be prepared to treat both injury and illness in austere environments for longer periods of time with limited reach-back.”
When looking at what the future operational environment may look like, the 24th SOW SG team must consider the implications to operational medicine. Scenarios PJs face could be in low-visibility areas where they have to keep patients alive for longer periods under possible chemical, biological, radiation or nuclear conditions.
“Preparing PJs medically for the future fight will require an advanced interoperable standard, optimized initial and sustainment training, deliberate tech development and integration, and enhanced performance tracking and feedback,” said Dorsch.
The virtual reality program objectives are to improve realism, increase flexibility and reduce cost. Through more than $10 million in Department of Defense Research and Development Funding and the Air Force Small Business Research Innovation Research program, SimX and the 24th SOW have been able to create more than 80 training scenarios including canine treatment and care, blast injuries, severe gas exposure, and more.
These training devices provide intricate and realistic training scenarios that other methods, such as medical dummies, cannot, and improves the effectiveness of the training.
“By using a flexible piece of equipment, we are able to deliberately and efficiently target specific desired learning objectives based on evolving mission requirements,” said Dorsch. “We now have the time and bandwidth to provide trainees with enhanced real-time feedback from the through the program, which grades the trainee on a point system through data analysis and a performance tracking system.”
Currently, there are 14 sites online using the PJ Tactical Combat Casualty Care curriculum, including Air Force Special Operations Command and Air Combat Command. In the future, they plan to expand access to the existing medical training portfolio across all SOF TCCC responder tiers, broaden capabilities and integrate partner force training.
“The VALOR program has increased the availability of efficient and effective medical training and has allowed us to develop complex decision-making, which will improve survival rates in U.S., coalition and partner force combat casualties in the future fight,” said Dorsch. “VR training is critical for ensuring that the highest level of combat trauma and austere medical care are provided by our special operations ground forces. We have only scratched the surface of its incredible potential.”
