January 20th, 2026NP Aerospace Enters Full Rate Production with Their Toyota Land Cruiser LC300 Armoured Vehicle
January 20th, 2026
NP Aerospace, the global vehicle integrator and armour manufacturer, has announced the entry into full rate production, with their upgraded armoured Toyota Land Cruiser LC300 vehicle. NP Aerospace acquired the IP for this product, along with certain other assets of Jankel Armouring Limited from Administration, in 2024. Since then, NP Aerospace has applied their acclaimed vehicle engineering and integration, production and supply chain skill sets to this vehicle to reach this important production milestone.
In October 2025 NP Aerospace launched their LC300 product as a significantly refined and upgraded NP Aerospace platform and having recently completed Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) they are entering their full rate programme, from January 2026. With the current contracted orders and the future product sales pipeline, NP Aerospace are expecting to produce over 100 LC300 vehicles over the next 12-18 months. This announcement coincides with the International Armoured Vehicles (IAV) Conference taking place in Farnborough, 20-22 January 26, where NP Aerospace will have a team in attendance.
Delivering unprecedented levels of protection, functionality and reliability based upon many years of user feedback, the NP Aerospace LC300 is being sought after and contracted by a multitude of global defence ministries and Non-Government Organisations (NGO’s). Having qualified the LC300 to the latest Edition 3 of the international VPAM BRV and ERV (VR7) standards as well as PAS 300 ballistic and blast and PAS 301 vehicle performance criteria, NP Aerospace has ensured the platform provides optimum protection and remains road-legal for NATO and European-based NGO customers, maximising the export potential to wider international user groups. The vehicle was the very first to be certified to VPAM VR7 BRV and ERV with a 2m side blast with a third row of seats in accordance with Edition 3 which uses biofidelic dummies, to understand the true impacts to the vehicle occupants.
As well as entire armoured vehicle products, such as the LC300, add-on or “applique” armour systems is a service provided by NP Aerospace. Integrated add-on armour systems include: internal spall liners; external applique; and seating systems to counter a range of ballistic and blast threats. NP’s survivability services are cross-OEM and global, ranging from Civilian Armoured Vehicles (CAVs) through logistic and utility vehicles to full armoured fighting systems.
NP Aerospace has been selected as the armouring partner by a number of OEM prime contractors, globally, to design and deliver such add-on systems. In May 2025, NPA announced a contract for Armoured Personnel Transport Modules (APTM) being delivered, through Marshall Canada, to the Power Team for the Canadian LVM programme -Canada’s solution for logistic vehicle procurement. There is another significant vehicle armour contract due to be announced imminently – further underlining NP’s position as the survivability partner of choice.
David Petheram, MD & SVP, NP Aerospace Vehicle Systems, Services and Spares said: “we’ve worked very hard to ensure our newly upgraded armoured LC300 is suitably prepared in all regards to enter full rate production this month. Specifically, our integration, production and supply chain skill sets have been applied to this project to optimise the benefits to the procurer, the fleet manager and the user. What we now have is an excellent platform when viewed from all perspectives and we’re pleased to be able to offer it to global markets. The Civilian Armoured Vehicle (CAV) market offers great growth potential and is a significant area of focus for us as we continue to expand our team.”
DRYOUT Pioneers the Future of Moisture Removal to Safeguard Electronics, Defense and Outdoor Gear
January 19th, 2026DRYOUT technology helps protect everything from electronics, cell phones, tablets, earbuds, and battery packs to photo/video gear, firearms, optics, night vision goggles, drone controllers, ammunition, medical devices, tools, and more. It provides active moisture protection during enclosed storage and carry, including use in cases, bags, pouches, packs and similar items.
Launching in January and available in a wide range of consumer and military products later this spring, DRYOUT technology is a patented, super-absorbent layered construction that is engineered into a range of different types of storage and carry solutions. Its unique pairing of materials results in unprecedented ability to actively pull and trap moisture at a higher rate of speed than traditional desiccants.
The DRYOUT brand will exhibit the technology to potential brand partners and defense organizations at SHOW Show in Las Vegas, Nev., Jan. 20-23.
“Moisture is one of the most persistent and expensive threats to mission-critical gear, whether that mission is outdoor adventure, hunting, traveling, military, aerospace, or just daily life with electronic devices,” said Romney Williams, CEO of DRYOUT. “Until now, there hasn’t been an electricity-free moisture-management solution this powerful, reusable, or versatile.”
Using its proprietary dual-action technology, DRYOUTactively pulls and traps moisture, holding it away from gear. The trapped moisture can later be released from the DRYOUT material, so it can be reused indefinitely to defend equipment from rust, corrosion, condensation, fogging, ingress, and electrical failure. This powerful performance is achieved by DRYOUT’s advanced design, which combines a moisture-wicking nylon exterior with a patented core of moisture absorption materials to create a layered construction where each layer plays a critical role in working together to move and manage moisture.
A 6-by-12 inch DRYOUT panel — roughly the amount used to protect gear the size of a tablet, handgun or a VR headset — absorbs up to 3,400 times more moisture than a silica gel packet — what most people call to mind when they think of desiccants — and 15.3 times more than a silica gel canister and 10.2 times more than a plug-in dehumidifier.
A 6-by-12 inch DRYOUT panel has an absorption capacity of up to 32.4 grams of moisture or 667 drops of water, a capacity that increases as panels increase in size.
DRYOUT can pull moisture up to 8 inches away from a wet hard good, helping protect gear without needing direct contact.
It actively eliminates “fog cycles” in camera lenses, night vision goggles, and thermal imaging cameras, helping maintain clear optics in high-stakes conditions.
DRYOUT is easily reset for repeat use in as little as 30 minutes by exposing it to sunlight, controlled heat, or airflow, thereby reducing waste and total cost of ownership.
While traditional desiccants only passively absorb humidity, DRYOUT is the only reusable technology that actively pulls moisture out of wet gear, then absorbs and locks it away — without power, chemicals, or single-use waste.
DRYOUT partners with consumer brands, OEMs, Tier 1 government suppliers, and government and defense agencies that require high-reliability solutions. DRYOUT offers a collaborative design, development, and production service to enable partners to ideate, test, and bring DRYOUT-enabled products to market fast and efficiently.

Savage Arms Unveils the Next Generation of the Historic Model 110
January 19th, 2026WESTFIELD, Massachusetts – January 16, 2026 – Savage Arms®, an iconic firearm manufacturer, has announced a new era of its legacy Model 110. The new chapter of this platform features 16 purpose-built models and spans hundreds of new SKUs, including new cartridge offerings and left-hand models.
The Legacy
The Model 110, introduced in 1958, holds the distinction of being the longest continuously produced bolt-action rifle in America. Designed by Nicholas L. Brewer, it was initially chambered in .30-06 Springfield and .270 Winchester, offering hunters a robust, yet affordable option, priced at just $109.75 when it was introduced. Over the years, the Model 110 has continued to evolve, introducing innovations such as the AccuTrigger™, AccuFit™ and AccuStock™ systems, enhancing its performance and user customization.
“The 110 is our longest standing rifle, and for good reason,” said Beth Shimanski, Vice President of Marketing at Savage Arms. “This model has helped make Savage Arms what it is today, and it will be a part of the future of Savage for a very long time. Building on the next evolution of AXIS that was launched in 2024, the new era of the 110 exemplifies Savage’s ability to maintain our standing as a heritage brand while staying at the forefront of innovation.”
The New Era
The upgraded platform features the all-new AccuFit V2™, powered by the Quick Set Dial (QSD system, which makes quick adjustments effortless. The integrated, toolless design lets you fine-tune your length of pull and comb height at any time. No hassle, no tools. Fit for you, giving you confidence in every shot. Some models will also offer users the option to change their pistol grip size. Options in small, medium and large grip modules make this stock truly fit for anyone.
The redesigned stock, inspired by the modern shape popularized on the Axis line-up, features a high cheek piece and steep grip angle, enhancing both aesthetics and ergonomics
Manufacturing advancements include a “vertical cut” process in the receiver’s bolt travel, resulting in a smoother and more precise bolt action. The bolt head now features an improved extractor claw for better case contact, complemented by a dual ejector system to ensure reliable ejection.
A new synthetic magazine, compatible with older 110 models, offers improved feeding and handling. The second-generation AccuTrigger™ has been refined to prevent lock-up on the AccuRelease™ blade if the trigger weight is set too light, while retaining its ease of adjustment and crisp break.

SPYRT Worldwide Unveils A 3-Liter Ukrainian Spirit Limited Howitzer Edition Vodka Made From Refurbished Powder Charge Tubes
January 19th, 2026“We’re incredibly proud to introduce the Ukrainian Spirit Howitzer Limited Edition,” said Sam Lerman, Co-Founder and CEO of SPYRT Worldwide. “This release is far more than an extraordinary 3-liter vodka, as it’s hand-crafted from repurposed military powder charge tubes and finished with meticulous leatherwork. With a portion of all proceeds from the manufacturer supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine, this product allows consumers to directly support a powerful cause while experiencing exceptional quality.”
The Ukrainian Spirit Limited Howitzer Edition 3-liter is bottled at 40% ABV/80 proof using SPYRT’s Ukrainian Spirit Reserve Vodka. Crafted using a unique “SINGLE WATER” technology, in which the water, spirit, and vodka all originate from the same artesian well tapped since 1876. This crystal-clear spring water is drawn from 200 meters beneath the lush pine forests of Volyn and combined with specially selected grain from the steppes of Western Ukraine. The vodka is produced using patented Pentagonal distilling technology and undergoes a 10-day resting period before bottling. This meticulous process has earned Ukrainian Spirit a Double Gold at the WSWA 2025 Tasting Competition.
The base of this drink’s packaging is crafted from a repurposed M119A2 Propelling Charge Case, sourced directly from Ukrainian military personnel. Each tube is carefully refurbished to restore its appearance and smooth out any dents from previous use. The Ukrainian Spirit Limited Howitzer Edition is then wrapped externally in genuine Italian leather, which is hand-stitched around the case. The bottle’s “label” is also made from genuine Italian leather and features all product information. It is secured to the bottle with metal fasteners, highlighting the product’s meticulous craftsmanship.
SPYRT Worldwide is a US and Ukrainian veteran-founded and owned, dedicated to promoting Ukraine’s rich cultural heritage through the country’s top wines and spirits, founded in 2022. The company’s vision and mission, in addition to forging these connections between the two countries, also focus on empowering the people of Ukraine. Each bottle sold helps further SPYRT’s mission to support humanitarian and demining efforts in Ukraine.
The Ukrainian Spirit Limited Howitzer Edition is available as a 3-liter bottle and retails for $999.99 online at the SPYRT Worldwide shop and at select retailers. For more information on SPYRT Worldwide, please visit www.SpyrtWorldwide.com and follow on Facebook at @spyrtofukraine, on Instagram.
