Canadian Military Seeks Easter Island Targets

March 18th, 2020

I know it’s not nice to make fun, but come on, this is just begging for it.

Canadian solicitation number W0142-21X003/A, for “Target Mannequins” is pretty extensive. But on Page 26, they used the drawing above to depict the targets they are looking to buy. For a second I thought they were trying to depict a guy using on of those toilet stools to gain some leverage.

But after a quick discussion we came to the general consensus that it was the Easter Island-style Ma’oi Targets they were after.

CRO Pharmaceuticals Announces the Launch of POLYSERP Next Generation Antivenoms

March 18th, 2020

POLYSERP™ offers freeze-dried unrefrigerated snake antivenoms designed specifically for the treatment of envenomation casualties in operational and austere medicine environments. POLYSERP™ antivenoms come in two broad-spectrum, regionally-specific formulations that are indicated for the treatment of neurotoxic, hemotoxic, and cytotoxic snake envenomations by all of the critical threat species in a given area without the need to identify the snake. 

Safe For Field Use

Traditional concerns with antivenoms arose from the high risk of serious reactions such as anaphylaxis, which occurred in as high as 75% of patients treated in some studies on older products. The rate of serious reactions to POLYSERP™ has been reduced to ? 1% thanks to a patented multi-step process of fragmentation, purification, and lyophilization resulting in a product that is free of preservatives and safe enough to administer by direct IV push in a low resource environment.

Unrefrigerated, Freeze-Dried, Field Stable

POLYSERP™ has been designed from the ground up to meet the needs of austere medical providers. Each vial contains a minimum of 500 LD50 neutralization potency against the most dangerous regional snakes. The increased potency allows field providers to treat severe envenomations at the point of injury, reducing the amount of space and weight, while adding an invaluable medical capability.

No Cold-Chain

Snakes are abundant in warm climates due to their cold-blooded physiology, but most antivenoms require constant refrigeration. POLYSERP™ is a next generation product that can be carried in a backpack for 6 months at temperatures exceeding 100º F without any loss of potency, making it the first product that is specifically designed for use in the environments where snakes are most common and disaster is most likely to strike.

BELL V-280 Valor Team Selected To Continue In Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft Competition

March 17th, 2020

U.S. Army awards Bell a contract for competitive demonstration and risk reduction work on a program engineered to deliver exceptional operational capabilities to warfighters at a sustainable cost

Fort Worth, Texas (March 16, 2019) – Bell Textron Inc., a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company, has been selected as a project agreement holder for the competitive demonstration and risk reduction (CD&RR) effort as part of the U.S. Army’s Future Long Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) program. Under the agreement Bell will deliver a refined V-280 Valor design, with supporting technical documentation, that builds on the data captured during the more than two years and 170 hours of flight testing under the Joint Multi-Role Technology Demonstration (JMR TD) program to inform the FLRAA program of record. 

“Bell and Team Valor are excited to continue working on a system that has proven its ability to bring exceptional capabilities to warfighters,” said Mitch Snyder, president and CEO at Bell. “The JMR TD and V-280 show that rapid maturation of new technology is possible with a solid government-industry partnership fueled by our talented and innovative workforce. We look forward to the FLRAA competition.”

This contract follows the successful U.S. Army led JMR TD program. As part of that program, Bell managed collaboration with the twelve leading companies that make up Team Valor to enable rapid production, systems integration, and deliberate program schedule to validate the V-280’s flight capabilities and operational relevance. The V-280 achieved all program goals, demonstrating its speed by flying above 300 knots and demonstrating low speed agility attitude quickness per ADS-33F-PRF. These characteristics are important to inform FLRAA program requirements to ensure the program will help warfighters meet the challenges of future multi-domain fights.

“This is an important milestone in the history of Bell and Army aviation. We are honored to be part of it,” said Keith Flail, vice president, Advanced Vertical Lift Systems at Bell. “The next phase is an opportunity for this team to build on the success of the last six years and continue to bring the proof that we can provide transformative capabilities to our Army in line with their stated goal of 2030.”

The V-280 Valor was developed in support of the government Future Vertical Lift (FVL) program, the Army’s number three modernization priority area. The FLRAA program is meant to produce a medium-lift utility rotorcraft replacement with transformational speed, power, and maneuverability, at a sustainable cost, to active duty and reserve aviation units. 

Gentex M52 Joint Service Chemical Environmental Survivability Mask

March 17th, 2020

Think of it as a “get off the X” insurance policy. Since the Aum Shinrikyo Sarin gas attack on the Tokyo Subway in the 1990s, some organizations have been issuing disposable protective masks to allow their personnel to escape chemical, biological and nuclear threats which might be encountered off the battlefield where traditional PPE is not available.

JSCESM is a lightweight, low bulk protective mask/hood capable of providing above the neck, respiratory and ocular protection against low-level threat Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) attacks, for short durations. The M52 JSCESM defends users against non-direct hazards, such as chemical vapors, fumes, and airborne biological and radiological particulate hazards.

This disposable mask is good for one use and offers more than two hours of continuous protection against low-level vapor, aerosol and particulate threats.

Cartridge Service Life

Live Agent Testing

In its stored configuration JSCESM is packed in a 4” x 7” x 4.75” size and weighs less than 1.3 lbs.
