SPD Edition Ti-MNPara Strap

February 2nd, 2023

Vintage Combat Diver’s Classic Watch Strap Updated and Upgraded with Titanium Hardware

Prometheus Design Werx introduces their Ti-MNPara Strap under their Special Projects Division sub-label. A design taken directly from a vintage military classic, the French Navy (Marine Nationale) combat diver’s watch strap. PDW built up from this baseline and used the best grade nylon-Spandex strapping and updated and upgraded this style with aerospace grade titanium hardware for total corrosion resistance on land or under the sea, and 100% non-magnetic as to not interfere with the strap worn compasses such as our EWB-Compass Kit. One of the most comfortable and fully adjustable watch straps available today, the dive-ready Ti-MNPara fits watches with 20, 22, 24mm width lugs.

The SPD Ti-MNPara Strap is available with black or the vintage OD green with yellow parachute rigger’s colorway nylon-Spandex strapping and fine matte finish titanium hardware.

The Design and R&D Team at PDW states:

“This are the most comfortable, field worthy watch straps we’ve worn. The originals from the 1960s-70s were a clever example of simple yet effective product design. Like most of what we do, it’s the details that make our designs. We used custom milled nylon strapping with Spandex and this type of elastic is far more durable than generic elastics. And of course, we upgraded and updated the hardware with aerospace grade titanium for total corrosion-proof and non-magnetic performance in any water borne environments. These are fully adjustable and are quick to adjust to wear over wetsuits. These straps are rugged, refined, comfortable and ready for action on land or under the sea.”

The PDW Ti-MNPara Straps are available for $38.00 in 20mm, 22mm, and 24mm widths, and in either black or OD green/yellow nylon-Spandex. Available now via their website, prometheusdesignwerx.com.

GA-ASI’S Eaglet Takes It’s First Flight

February 1st, 2023

Technical Demonstration With ARL and AvMC Shows Off New Survivable ALE

SAN DIEGO – 31 January 2023 – General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) flew a new survivable Air-Launched Effect (ALE) for the first time as part of a flight demonstration based out of the Dugway Proving Grounds, Utah, on Dec. 8, 2022. The ALE, known as Eaglet, was launched from a U.S. Army MQ-1C Gray Eagle Extended Range (GE-ER) Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS). The Eaglet flight was jointly funded by GA-ASI and the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development (DEVCOM) Army Research Laboratory (ARL) and Aviation & Missile Center (AvMC).

“The first flight of the Eaglet was an important milestone for the GA-ASI/U.S. Army team,” said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. “Eaglet is intended to be a low-cost, survivable UAS with the versatility to be launched from a Gray Eagle, rotary-wing aircraft, or ground vehicles. It enables extended reach of sensors and increased lethality while providing survivability for manned aircraft.”

Eaglet fits into the ‘ALE Large’ category, which encompasses larger, more powerful sensors or payloads. Because of its design, Eaglet is capable of carrying a diverse range of payloads in support of multiple Army missions.

Eaglet design extends battlefield options for commanders while reducing their decision cycles. Gray Eagle can carry Eaglet for thousands of kilometers before launching it while being controlled through unmanned-unmanned teaming or as a component of advanced teaming command and control concepts.

Eaglet can work in concert with other long-range payloads carried by Gray Eagles, helicopters, or other platforms to support deep sensing in Multi-Domain Operations.

With this successful flight of the Eaglet, GA-ASI will work with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to feature it in other exercises to further determine its potential. The Eaglet is the newest entry into GA-ASI’s Evolution Series of advanced UAS concepts.
