GBRS GROUP Assaulter Belt System in Black Coming 1 July

June 24th, 2021

GBRS GROUP Assaulter Belt System will be available in Black, 1 JULY 2021 1300 EDT at GBRSGROUPGEAR.COM

For those of you who missed the details when the belts were first released in MultiCam, here’s a recap:

Made in the USA by LBT inc, the GBRS GROUP Assaulter Belt System takes a different approach than others on the market which use multiple layers of rigid materials sewn together with a lightweight and pliable webbing material to attach equipment to. This typically results in an uncomfortable and overly thick belt. The GBRS GROUP Assaulter Belt System utilizes a two-layer outer belt to create a lightweight, flexible yet rigid and stable platform to attach equipment, holsters and accessories. This is done by using Type 13, 1-23/32” webbing as the base, with a field of PALS webbing, laser cut from a semi rigid polymer (Tegris). To round it off, they double “W” stitch the webbing to a load rated, 1.75” Austrialpin Cobra buckle with a D-ring for attaching lanyards and other equipment. The outer belt has an inner facing of “loop” style Velcro, to attach to a low profile “hook” inner belt. They did this because hook should never be worn towards body, especially in such a high wear area (belt line).

The inner belt system is actually two parts. It consists of a low profile “hook” inner belt and a “shroud” to cover the inner belt when the outer Assault belt is not in use. This results in a system that not only doubles as a non-metallic EDC belt, but it is a comfortable and convenient way to cover the scratchy “hook” portion of the inner belt. When the outer belt is needed, simply remove the inner belt “shroud” and attach the outer Assaulter belt to the inner belt.

They are also restocking S/M MultiCam Assaulter Belt Systems the same day.

Elbit Systems of Australia Shortlisted for Army Land125 Phase 4 Integrated Soldier System Tender

June 24th, 2021

Elbit Systems of Australia (ELSA) has been shortlisted for Land125 Phase 4 Integrated Soldier System (ISS).

The fourth phase of the Commonwealth program to modernise the ADF’s Soldier Combat System (SCS), is seeking an industry partner for the supply and support of an ISS capability that would enable continuous growth of the current and future SCS.

Elbit Systems of Australia Managing Director, Major General (ret’d) Paul McLachlan AO, CSC said the shortlisting demonstrated the company’s commitment to continue to work with defence on the provision of capability that would increase the effectiveness of Australian soldiers.

“I am very pleased to announce our progress to the limited RFT stage for Land 125 Phase 4 for the ISS, which is indicative of our continued commitment to produce world-leading soldier systems from global technology using an upskilled sovereign workforce here in Australia,” Mr McLachlan said.

“Recently, at the biggest trade show on the defence calendar, Land Forces 21, we showcased our next-generation technologies, which saw hundreds of visitors to our stand experience live on-the-spot demonstrations of our world-leading technology and innovative products.

“Those leading-edge technologies increase effectiveness via situational awareness, mobility, lethality, survivability and sustainability to ensure mission success for the Australian Defence Force, while protecting the lives of ADF personnel.”

ELSA has the ability to deliver the project using an agile design and development approach aimed at supporting incremental evolution of the Soldier Combat System for the duration of the tranche, which would include in-house research and development, Mr McLachlan said.

“Not only do we have ability to access, adapt and apply global technology right here in Australia, we opened our new Centre of Excellence in Melbourne earlier this year, which will conduct research and development with academic and industry partners to develop highly-advanced autonomous solutions to build home-grown capabilities to complement our existing suite of soldier solutions,” Mr McLachlan said.

“The research, which focuses on collaboration between people and autonomous systems, will produce applications that can not only be used across defence, but could also benefit homeland security and emergency services.

“ELSA has a 250-strong workforce across three locations in Australia that includes more than 100 software and systems engineers.”

ELSA is a leading capability provider and Prime Systems Integration in design, delivery and sustainment of command and control systems, that include ISS, robotic and autonomous platform technologies and capabilities.

Australian industry is invited to contact Elbit Australia to explore collaboration opportunities via the dedicated Elbit ICN page or at: ElbitAustralia.L125-4ISS@ElbitSystems.com.au

Viridian Showcases Weapon-Mounted Camera at National Sheriffs’ Association Expo

June 23rd, 2021

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – June 22, 2021 – Viridian Weapon Technologies is showcasing the FACT Duty® Weapon-Mounted Camera (WMC®) at the annual National Sheriffs’ Association (NSA) Conference and Exposition in Phoenix, Arizona from June 22-24, 2021. The conference will give law enforcement personnel an opportunity to see the capabilities of Viridian’s Weapon-Mounted Camera (WMC). Attendees are encouraged to visit Viridian at booth #922 on the main aisle to learn more.

“This is our fourth year at the NSA conference and we’re proud to have the opportunity to showcase the growing track-record of our Weapon-Mounted Camera,” said Viridian President and CEO Brian Hedeen. “The WMC automatically captures footage from the end of an officer’s firearm from the moment it comes out of the holster, and this additional footage has proven to be an essential evidentiary tool for understanding use of force events.”

The Viridian WMC

The highly advanced FACT Duty WMC employs a 1080p full-HD digital camera with a microphone and 500 lumen tactical light. This distinctive weapon-mounted camera provides a clear view of critical use-of-force events from the end of the firearm, addressing limitations officers can face with body cameras. Viridian’s proprietary INSTANT-ON® technology automatically activates the camera and microphone whenever the officer draws the firearm from its holster. Not only does this eliminate risk of failure to manually turn on the camera during a critical event, but it also keeps the officer from fumbling with cumbersome equipment. Body and dash cameras were not designed to capture officer-involved shootings. However, Viridian WMCs were designed specifically for this purpose.

PDW Delta Cargo Short TRS

June 23rd, 2021

Expedition Grade, Field Short with Low Profile Cargo Pockets in Technical Ripstop Nylon

Prometheus Design Werx introduces their new Delta Cargo Short TRS for Summer 2021. An expedition grade field short with low profile cargo pockets designed for rigorous and protracted adventures and exploration. Constructed in their new, 6.13oz, technical, 4-way stretch Technical Ripstop nylon with a quick-dry and DWR finish for durable wear in all terrains. A total of 13 pockets to stash and organize as little or as many EDC items as the user needs. Pocket Clip Docks™, quad no-twist custom made Delta-Rings for keychain-carabiner clip points, double reinforced seat, and a Hide-Away waistband pocket round out these shorts’ features. Produced with industrial grade triple needle stitching on all major seams and expertly made in California, USA.

The Delta Cargo Short TRS by Prometheus Design Werx will be available in Transitional Field Green, Universal Field Gray and All Terrain Brown.

The Design and R&D Team at PDW states:

“A number of years back we remember a story in National Geographic documenting an epic transect of the Amazon. This was an amazingly grueling and challenging lateral traverse of the entire Amazon by a team of scientists and explorers making their way often if not usually in, dense, tractless jungle and nameless waterways. We thought, what short would we wear if we found ourselves on a similar journey. Something that would stand the constant wear over many months if not years in soggy, rough, and utterly wild environments. We trialed numerous technical fabrics, to finally arrive at our TRS (Technical Ripstop) fabric, which would dry quickly, withstand frequent abrasion, allow plenty of movement and at the same time not be so heavy, it would be a chore to wear. We chose to add the low-profile cargo pockets to this design to cover the additional storage needs while on the go. While most of us won’t find ever ourselves transecting the Amazon, the Delta Cargo Short TRS is ideal for many of summer’s adventurous pursuits on land or in and around water. From packrafting, jungle trekking, international adventure travel, or a 30 day backpack, these shorts are built to withstand the most challenging adventures.”

The Delta Cargo Short TRS will be available for $113.00 via their website, prometheusdesignwerx.com.
