AARDVARK Named Exclusive North American Distributor of Sky-Hero LOKI MK2

March 18th, 2021

La Verne, CA: AARDVARK is excited to announce that it has partnered with Sky-Hero of Belgium to be the exclusive North American distributor for the LOKI Mk2 Tactical sUAS. Designed in conjunction with several of the world’s top counterterror units, LOKI Mk2 is a rugged, purpose-built sUAS intended to act as a scout for close-quarter, confined space, and indoor missions. LOKI Mk2 requires no internet service, no GPS, no phone or tablet connection, and has no forced software updates, making it mission capable in seconds from virtually anywhere. LOKI Mk2 performs in almost any lighting condition, seamlessly transitioning from sunlight to complete darkness. With a highly sensitive Night-Day + IR sensor camera and high-gain microphone, LOKI Mk2 provides real-time video and audio back to the team.

By utilizing an analog-based communications system, the connection between the sUAS and Stand-Alone Ground Controller has no lag or freezing issues, preventing crashes and ensuring real-time intelligence. Moreover, the ability to control multiple sUAS simultaneously from a single controller allows a single pilot to observe several areas at once. The LOKI Mk2’s rugged design and integrated flight stabilization system ensures total flight control in very confined spaces, as well as the ability to withstand the “full contact” nature of indoor flight. If crashed during an operation, the LOKI Mk2 can remotely self-right, allowing the mission to continue.

“We’re very excited about the capability the Loki Mk2 can bring to our operators. Although consumer sUAS systems certainly bring enhanced capability, there is nothing on the market that is purpose-built for tactical operations like LOKI. This system allows a pilot to put a camera anywhere, which prevents having to put an operator in harm’s way. I’m convinced this system will save countless lives.”
– Jon Becker, CEO, AARDVARK

LOKI Mk2 is now exclusively sold in North America by AARDVARK. Developed, tested, and built in Europe by NATO allies, the LOKI Mk2 is the go-anywhere, secure, and easy to use sUAS your operation has been waiting for. Visit Loki.AardvarkTactical.com to learn more.

Sean Matson Will Attempt To Break Men’s 1 mile Bomb-Suit World Record

March 18th, 2021

On 3 April 2021, I am setting out to break the men’s 1 mile Bomb-Suit World Record! The current record has been held by Mark Gibbs of the UK at a blistering fast time of 7:24.21. He has held this record since 2017.

In 2019, I attempted to break this record; however, wasn’t successful. Before the event, I “Planned my dive”, but when the race gun went off, I took off in a sprint and completely forgot all about my plan that I have “dove” in my head a thousand times. “Plan your dive, dive your plan”. My pace at the 1/2 mile was around 6 mins and my heart rate pegged and I was about to pass out, so I had to walk. Very humbling experience and also a HUGE lesson learned.

This year, I will have a pacer and training has been going extremely well. We are raising money for Get Head Strong and with proceeds from every purchase of the #TeamSean shirt will go directly to Get Head Strong.

Show support by purchasing his shirt with the discount code “SEAN“. www.militarymuscleinc.com/collections/military-families-program/products/military-families-program-team-sean-tee

Millcreek, UT – March 9, 2021 OSS Suppressors LLC has completed shipments of their EL-QD 762 Ti suppressor units as part Colt® Canada’s contract to deliver 272 C20 7.62 mm Semi-Automatic Sniper Weapons to the Canadian Forces sniper teams.

The new C20 Compact Semi-Automatic Sniper Systems (CSASS) were delivered starting in November 2020, and the Canadian Forces said the C20 will be more accurate and an improvement over the current C8 used by sniper teams.

“OSS is honored to have been selected as the official suppressor for the new Canadian Forces sniper rifle. OSS’s EL-QD 762 suppressor was previously selected for the US Army’s CSASS and SDMR (Squad Designated Marksman Rifle) contracts,” said John Spurrier, CEO of OSS Suppressors, “Our patented and proven Flow-Through® technology continues to be accepted by military programs around the world as the only suppression solution that prevents the blowback of toxic gas and particulates while delivering exceptional sound suppression, accuracy and durability – in the most extreme conditions.

“We’re proud and privileged to work with Colt Canada to support their C20 contract and deliver this much-needed capability to Canadian Forces snipers,” said Steven DiGregorio, Sr. International Business Development & Sales Manager.

The EL-QD 762 Ti is a Flat Dark Earth (FDE) variant of the commercially available HX-QD 762.

5.11’s MultiCam “Commando” Kilt Is Back

March 18th, 2021

What started out years ago as an April Fool’s Day gag has turned into a perennial favorite from 5.11 Tactical.

Why is it called a Commando Kilt? Simple, it’s how you roll underneath.

Made from their durable 65% polyester/ 35% cotton Fast-Tac ripstop fabric, the kiot features a comfort waist, 4 pockets (2 hand and 2 cargo) and Badge tab d-rings at front belt loops.

Offered in MultiCam, waist sizes 28-50. Those of you who will guffaw at the larger waist sizes have obviously never been to a Highland Games.
