The U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit (USAMU) said farewell yesterday to Sgt. 1st Class Daniel Horner, a member of the Action Shooting Team. He is one of the most decorated Soldiers to ever don the Black Hat within the USAMU.
Sgt. 1st Class Horner will be greatly missed but his professionalism, dedication, and expert marksmanship abilities will leave a lasting legacy at the USAMU, the “Home of Champions”.
Daniel is a fantastic shooter and we can’t wait to see where he turns up in industry.
Protonex Technology Corporation, the leader in rugged, portable, intelligent power management solutions, will be exhibiting at the National Tactical Officers Association’s 35th Annual Conference and Exhibition from 16-17 September 2018 at booth #925.
Visit the Protonex booth to get a hands-on explanation and demonstration of the full suite of capabilities provided by the company’s PTX series of power management systems, accessories, applications, and solutions.
The core PTX product series includes:
• The ABC-812 Adaptive Battery Charger, which charges multiple different batteries simultaneously, faster, and more efficiently than other alternatives – enabling users to eliminate the logistical and financial burden of dependence on multiple proprietary, non-rugged, battery chargers.
• The SPM-622 Squad Power Manager, which dramatically reduces the number and variety of batteries users need to carry on operations – enabling users to recharge and repurpose their batteries anywhere, any time, and with power from any source.
• The VPM-402 Vest Power Manager, which packs full-size data and power management into a small, light, rugged solution for operator-worn communications and situational awareness systems – with the same in-field recharging capabilities as the SPM-622.
Protonex is also pleased to be hosting Endeavor Robotics with their FirstLook® packable, throwable UGV system at our booth as well. Protonex recently partnered with Endeavor to create an in-field charging solution for the FirstLook® system.

The helmet launched in Nov. 2017 with two colors: Black/Gray and White/Gray. Its hybrid shell design is two-tone; an ABS hard front shell provides reinforcement for mounted accessories while an in-mold polycarbonate rear shell reduces weight.
“The M-216 is the only alpine-rated helmet of its kind, providing the special operations community with a platform that can be scaled up or down to meet the mission requirements,” said Jose Rizo-Patron, CEO of Team Wendy. “In the helmet’s second season, we wanted to bring additional colors to the marketplace so that professionals and everyday skiers alike have options to suit their needs.”
Different from traditional ski helmets, the M-216 incorporates mounting capabilities not previously available to operators in any ski or snow rated helmet. Utilizing features originally developed for the military and tactical community, the helmet provides side accessory rails for mounting a variety of lights and cameras, and a glass-reinforced polycarbonate shroud for attaching headlamps and cameras. A machined aluminum Wilcox® shroud insert is available by request for mounting night vision and thermal optics devices. Every helmet includes a Princeton Tec® task light (choice of Switch-MPLS or Switch-Rail) that seamlessly integrates with the accessory rail. The helmet has also been optimized for comfort and stability featuring a Boa® Fit System for precise fit adjustment and single-handed quick release, and an under-the-chin retention system with a Fidlock® magnetic buckle for one-handed operation even while wearing gloves.
The protection offered by the M-216 Ski SAR helmet is highlighted by meeting ASTM F2040-11 for recreational snow sports and BS EN 1077:2007 Class B for alpine skiing and snowboarding.
Black/Gray, Red/Gray and White/Gray retail at $328.95 while MultiCam Alpine/Gray and MultiCam Black/Gray retail at $340.95. All five colors are available for sale on TeamWendy.com and through authorized Team Wendy distributors; and will be available on Amazon Prime in the coming weeks. The three new color options are available for pre-sale with fulfillment in October.
