Air Force Fields New Rifle to Airmen

April 21st, 2022

ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. (AFNS) —

The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center’s Small Arms Program Office is in the final phase of delivering the Squad Designated Marksmanship Rifle, or SDMR, to units across the Air Force.

The Air Force purchased approximately 1,464 SDMRs that will be distributed across the service based on approved allowances.

The SDMR is a semi-automatic, 7.62x51mm caliber rifle designed by Heckler & Koch for missions requiring combat over-watch with precision-fire capability to accurately engage targets up to 600 meters.

The SDMR was fielded to Air Force units this year. It is a multi-role asset, set to meet multiple missions taking place around the world.

It will replace legacy M24 Sniper Weapon Systems for security forces defenders performing base defense operations in-garrison and in contingency support.

The SDMR is lighter weight in comparison to other 7.62 platforms and will also replace the M110 Semi-Automatic Sniper Systems rifle for pararescuemen and Guardian Angels, saving them 5 pounds in gear while out on missions.

Finally, the SDMR’s precision-fire capability will be wielded by Air Force Explosive Ordnance Disposal technicians to eliminate small munitions in their standoff munition disruption activities.

“We’re excited to field this incredible weapon system,” said Matthew Hamer, Small Arms Program Office lead. “Being able to field one solution that can effectively achieve multiple missions epitomizes Air Force acquisition strategies and shows Airmen ability to adapt to any situation.”

SUPERSONIC SHIPPING: Qore Performance Announces Expansion of Pre-Paid Customs Program in Partnership with FedEx

April 20th, 2022

Sterling, VA: As part of their relentless pursuit of creating the best possible customer experience and in response to increased demand from Europe, Qore Performance announced an expansion to their DDP or Delivered Duty Paid program with shipping carrier (and customer) FedEx. This expansion of DDP will allow international customers in DDP-eligible countries to receive their orders directly from Qore Performance in two to five business days, direct to their doorstep.

DDP service leverages FedEx’s incredible air cargo network and allows customers to pre-pay their duties and customs during checkout on the Qore Performance website. The result means FedEx delivers orders directly to the customer. The receiving experience is nearly identical to that of a normal domestic shipment.  

“DDP means we handle all logistics and shipping, without making our customers deal with brokers, agents, or bureaucrats. That’s certainly the experience we would want as customers! So expanding DDP service is a big priority for us, and you’ll see even more countries come online soon,” said J.D. Willcox, Qore Performance Co-Founder and CFO.

FedEx DDP Service is now available on Qore Performance.com, populating automatically during checkout for the following countries: Canada, France, Germany, South Korea, The United Kingdom, Switzerland, Czechia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, and Poland.

Qore Performance has developed a close relationship with FedEx since winning their Small Business Grant Competition in 2019.

As the inventors of specialized and consumable thermoregulation for PPE users, Qore Performance bridges the gap between human and machine. Their IceAge Ecosystem protects over 35,000 daily active enterprise safety users. In addition to their military, law enforcement, and prepared citizen customers, dozens of America’s Fortune 1000 companies including Raising Cane’s, Dutch Bros Coffee, Boeing, Charlotte Area Transit System, Black Rock Coffee (Arizona), Valvoline Instant Oil Change, Costco, Great Hearts Academies, and FedEx, depend on Qore Performance to safeguard their teams in the field. Qore Performance enterprise customers have worked over 4,000,000 hours since launch in 2017 without a single heat injury.
