Comp-Tac Releases Dual Concealment Holster

November 24th, 2021

HOUSTON, TEXAS – November 29, 2021 – Comp-Tac® is proud to announce the release of the Dual Concealment Holster, a holster that can be worn both inside the waistband (IWB) or outside the waistband (OWB).

The Dual Concealment Holster – DCH is the best solution on the market for users who need versatility in their carry methods. Offering both IWB or OWB carry options, the DCH is fast to put on or take off and adapts to each user’s needs. For users who carry inside the waistband (IWB) the DCH offers a small footprint, slim profile, optics compatible option that can be slipped into the pants at a moment’s notice. With adjustment, the clip can be configured to carry at appendix, 3:00 side carry or behind the hip. For users looking for an outside the waistband (OWB) option, the paddle attachment offers the closest, fastest, most versatile attachment. The paddle attachment rides above the belt line making this the thinnest OWB carry option in Comp-Tac’s line up. The paddle is worn inside the waistband, allowing the holster to fit at any position on the belt line and can be put on or taken off in a matter of seconds, but stays securely during the draw with the molded wings.

“Many individuals that carry concealed have a variety of holsters for different weather, clothing options, guns and carry methods. While no one holster can be the answer to every situation, the Dual Concealment Holster was designed to help those users who want to switch between inside the waistband carry and outside the waistband carry simply and easily,” explained Randi Rogers, director of brand management at Comp-Tac.

PDW Roam Jacket EC

November 24th, 2021

Modern Take on the Classic American Trucker Jacket in Soft-Shell Fabric

For Fall/Winter 2021 Prometheus Design Werx introduces their Roam Jacket EC. Based directly on the classic American “Trucker Jacket”, PDW updated this style of outerwear with their Expedition Cloth, a technical, performance, nylon/poly soft-shell fabric with 4-way stretch and a DWR finish. Comfortably cut to wear over a base-layer or your favorite hoodie, the ROAM Jacket EC is also fully lined in their Guide Cloth, features chest pockets specially sized for most smartphones, 2 hand pockets, 2 interior pockets, their signature hide-away pocket under the collar, snap cuffs, center placket, waist tabs, and pocket flaps. Well suited for cool to cold weather wear, when worn with layers. This is another modern classic design from PDW and is expertly sewn in California, USA.

The Roam Jacket EC is a part of Prometheus Design Werx’s CORE-Line of technical apparel. Available in All Terrain Brown, and Universal Field Gray.

The Design and R&D Team at PDW states:

“We’ve definitely have a fondness for classic American styles, but update them with more contemporary cuts, modern performance materials and considerations for EDC. This Roam Jacket made with our Expedition Cloth soft-shell fabric pushes the classic American Trucker Jacket into the 21st Century. One of the first things we updated were the flapped chest pockets, which might have been great for stashing your pack of Marlboros back in the day, but it made much more sense to be sized to fit today’s smartphones. The 4-way stretch adds much more mobility and comfort, and the DWR finish adds protection from the occasional drizzle to rain shower. We also added that extra level of tailoring by adding a full liner in our equally technical Guide Cloth. This is the only trucker style jacket made today with soft-shell and the modern touches we put into it. The Roam Jacket EC is a timeless classic updated with smart details, and technical materials for today’s wearer. Built to last and expertly stitched in California, USA.”

The Roam Jacket EC will be available for purchase for $245.00 on Wednesday, November 24th, 2021 at 12:00pm PT via their website, prometheusdesignwerx.com.

Infinadeck Experience Platform

November 24th, 2021

I first saw Infinadeck at Warrior West over the summer where I only hit a few minutes to discuss the possibilities. Fortunately, it was also at Warrior East and I was even more impressed. Having some limited experience with Virtual Reality training systems, one of the limitations is that you eventually run out of space and into a wall or other obstacle. But Infinadeck alleviates this problem via their omnidirectional treadmill which provides an infinite walking surface. The Infinadeck Experience Platform is a 360-degree floor that allows for true and natural movement in VR without the introduction of VR motion sickness. Users can walk, jog or run as they do on solid ground for as long as they need to train.

Unlike other systems which offer “infinity” training, there are no harnesses, shoes or other contraptions with Infinadeck. Instead, an active wireless control system reacts to movements.

Multiple systems can be networked for collective training.

Units and agencies can purchase the Infinadeck Experience Platform from ADS Inc.

SSD’s Top Christmas Gift Picks from 5.11 – Day

November 24th, 2021

On day 2 of our week-long look at Christmas gift ideas, I’m going to recommend the Halo Neck Gaiter. Although it’s offered in a variety of patterns and colors, Night Desert Camouflage is my favorite.

A simple design, it’s comfy and can be used for a wide variety of applications aside from just a neck gaiter, in a similar fashion to a bandana.

There are loads of other gift ideas at 5.11 Tactical’s Merry Missions site.

Defense Innovation Unit Publishes ‘Responsible AI Guidelines’

November 24th, 2021

The Defense Innovation Unit released its initial “Responsible AI Guidelines” document Nov. 15, with intent to operationalize the Defense Department’s ethical principles of artificial intelligence into its commercial prototyping and acquisition efforts.

“DIU’s RAI guidelines provide a step-by-step framework for AI companies, DOD stakeholders and program managers that can help to ensure that AI programs are built with the principles of fairness, accountability and transparency at each step in the development cycle of an AI system,” Jared Dunnmon, PhD, technical director of the artificial intelligence/machine learning portfolio at DIU said.

The DIU team has spent the last 18 months working with researchers at the Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute, and speaking with industry partners, the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center, academia and government officials, and testing these guidelines in order to solicit helpful feedback, Dunnmon said. They are intended specifically for use on DIU programs.

The aim of the guidelines, he said is to:

? Accelerate programs from the outset by clarifying end goals, alignment of expectations, and acknowledgment of risks and trade-offs.

? Increase confidence that AI systems are developed, tested, and vetted with the highest standards of fairness, accountability and transparency.

? Support changes in the way AI technologies are evaluated, selected, prototyped and adopted in order to avoid potential bad outcomes.

? Elicit questions and conversations that are crucial for AI project success.

The guidelines provide examples of how responsible AI considerations can be put into practice in real-world programs, in an effort to create a user-friendly and more easily understood document that expedites the process, Dunnmon said.

“Users want so they can trust and verify that their tools protect American interests without compromising our collective values,” John Stockton, co-founder of Quantifind, a software technology company, that provided DIU feedback on the guidelines during their prototype project said. “These guidelines show promise for actually accelerating technology adoption, as it helps identify and get ahead of potentially show-stopping issues. We’ve found that leaning into this effort has also served us well outside of government, by strengthening internal controls and producing transparency and patterns of trust that can also be leveraged with all users, both public and private.”
