Emergency Trauma Kit

September 19th, 2022

ETK (Emergency Trauma Kit) has everything you need (if you already have an RMT) for when you encounter a traumatic injury.  Lots of other kits on the market are stuffed with fillers or items you don’t, or won’t, need.  We made sure this one has the exact items you need to stop the bleeding.  

You get a proven hemostatic and a twin pack of chest seals that can work on adults and children.  Two sets of gloves because one pair may not be enough for the people working on the victim, and sometimes one pair rips.  Two-wound packing gauze because you may have a need for more than one pair of gauze or you may encounter someone with more than a single wound.   The Large shears work really well and are larger than other shears on the market.  A roll of medical-type duct tape to allow you to secure bandages, or wounds, as needed to the person on clothing.  A flat trauma dressing to put on top of any wound to help with layering against the bleed.  

Exclusively made by NAR to our specifications.

1X Combat Gauze w/Hemostatic Bandage – Z-fold – LE
1X Chest Seal Dressing – Hyfin® – Compact (Vented) Twin Pack
2Pr Blue Responder Gloves – Large
2X NAR Wound Packing Gauze – 3” X 5yd
1X Responder Trauma Shears – Large
1X Mini Duct-Tape – 2” X 100”
1X Responder Emergency Trauma Dressing – 4” Flat

AeroVironment’s Unmanned Ground Vehicles to Use Persistent Systems Mobile ad hoc Network as Preferred Network for Platforms

September 19th, 2022

Persistent Systems, LLC (“Persistent”), a leader in mobile ad hoc networking (MANET), announced today that AeroVironment’s unmanned ground vehicles (UGV) business has joined Persistent’s Wave Relay® Ecosystem.

The Ecosystem is a growing industry alliance of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), UGVs, and sensor companies all utilizing Persistent’s Wave Relay® MANET as their preferred network for command-and-control and communications functions.

“We are very excited to have AeroVironment’s UGVs join the Ecosystem,” said Nick Naioti, Senior VP for Business Development for Persistent Systems. “In building the networked battlefield, we are providing the warfighter with increased situational awareness while also reducing size, weight, and power.”

At the core of the Ecosystem, the Wave Relay® MANET enables tactical teams to receive critical information from unmanned systems and their sensors which facilitates improved decision making, increasing both soldier safety and effectiveness.

According to the agreement between the two companies, the following UGVs will incorporate Persistent’s MANET hardware:

• telemax™ EVO PRO;
• telemax™ EVO HYBRID;
• telemax™ EVO PLUS;
• tEODor™ EVO; and
• EVO Upgrade Kit.

These ruggedized, all-terrain UGVs perform a variety of dangerous missions, including explosive ordnance disposal (EOD), hazardous materials handling (HAZMAT) and chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) threat assessment.

“Persistent has established itself in the market as a network provider that delivers extended range, high throughput and robustness against radio interference, all of which are critically important to our customers’ life-saving missions,” said Brian Young, AeroVironment vice president and product line general manager for UGVs.

In addition, Wave Relay® MANET gives companies the opportunity to move beyond simple point-to-point solutions and build whole constellations of connected air and ground assets, Naioti said.

Mystery Ranch Special Projects Service

September 19th, 2022

At MYSTERY RANCH, we solve problems for our customers – we work with them to identify a solution that meets their needs.

MYSTERY RANCH builds the best load-bearing gear in the world. Period.  

In addition to designing products for commercial sale, we regularly work on Special Projects for government and other industry organizations. With our Special Projects Service offering, MYSTERY RANCH designs and manufactures custom products when no other load-carriage solution exists. That includes packaging weapons, comms gear, optics, sensors, connectors, cabling, and so on.

If needed, we collaborate with in-field experts that bring their expertise to the design and help deliver a rigorously field-tested product to the client.

MYSTERY RANCH has many patents on technologies necessary for special load-carriage requests, which cannot be found otherwise. Our Montana-based, in-house product development and production teams are structured to facilitate such specific design needs.

Our most recent Case Study is the ATM CWF – aka “THE ARCTIC RUCK.” Details of this service outlining the process and collaboration efforts with in-field professionals can be found here.

In many cases, the client comes to our facility to brainstorm a solution with our design team for their load carriage or packaging needs. They show us the equipment we need to design around. In other cases, the client may send us the equipment and then collaborate with us via video conference, phone, or email. When necessary, we travel to the client’s location to work with them directly or see or experience items or factors that cannot be brought to us.
