Epsilor to Showcase Soldier Wearable Battery for Digital Soldier Programs at DVD2018

August 14th, 2018

Epsilor will present a wearable ergonomic battery offering maximum comfort to infantry troops

Millbrook, UK, August 9, 2018 – Epsilor, a globally recognized developer and manufacturer of mobile energy products for defence and aerospace applications, will present its innovative wearable conformal military battery for advanced Digital Soldier programs at the DVD2018 show, which will take place at Millbrook, on September 19–20, 2018.

Epsilor will display its conformal battery at Booth C3-502 as part of the VIRTUS, the new soldier system of the British Army, made by SOURCE Tactical Gear. SOURCE has integrated Epsilor’s battery into the VIRTUS textile vest, placing it in the MOLLE hip battle belt, thus offering soldiers maximum comfort.

“Epsilor’s batteries are packed in flat ergonomic flexible packaging that conveniently integrates into the soldier’s vest,” said Guy Harary, SOURCE Tactical Gear CEO. “The conformal battery is much more comfortable to carry, does not hinder soldiers’ movements and enables the troops to carry out their mission without disruption.”

The battery is offered in two configurations:

• ELI-1614 Conformal Battery – a rechargeable semi-flexible high energy density Li-ion battery pack

• ELP-1614 – a rechargeable semi-flexible lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery offering increased safety

Both batteries support a wide verity of applications, such as communications, tactical computers, sensors and additional devices. They offer high energy and high-power density as well as SMBus or one-wire communication protocols

“In a large-scale trial conducted by the Israel Defence Forces (IDF), infantry soldiers used Epsilor’s wearable conformal batteries instead of traditional rigid batteries, each fit a unique device, and benefited from a significant increase in available energy for different kinds of portable equipment,” said Merav Kolody Shubeli, Director, International Sales and Marketing at Epsilor. “In a 72-hour mission profile, batteries’ weight decreased by 30%.”

Today’s digital soldiers rely on tactical radios, ruggedized computing and navigation systems, night vision systems and gun sights. This translates into multiple spare batteries of different kind and shapes that an infantry soldier must carry with him. Using conformal batteries to operate multiple different devices simplifies the logistics and the usage of batteries before, during and after a mission.

During the event, Epsilor will also showcase its 6T NATO battery which offers the highest energy density in the world and 1,000 deep charge cycles. Epsilor’s 6T type batteries are the optimal energy storage solution for new military vehicle programs as well as for drop-in replacement in existing vehicle fleets. This new 6T battery offers four times more energy at just half the weight of modern lead-acid 6T batteries.

Blue Force Gear – Tourniquet Now! Pouch

August 13th, 2018

SAVANNAH, GA-June 27, 2018- Blue Force Gear® announced the debut of the Tourniquet Now!™ Pouch to its growing line of medical accessories, each designed with focus on mission-critical essentials, including IFAK carriers and medical item storage, all while remaining versatile and lightweight.

“While working with some of the top tier medical professionals,” said Stephen Hilliard, Director of Product Development, “we found that they are dialed in on the effects of UV degradation on tourniquets. We wanted to make a quick access TQ pouch that offers more environmental protection than our standard TNS Strap”

Performance and Usability

The Tourniquet Now!™ Pouch is the perfect balance between speed and protection in a platform that allows you to add a tourniquet to your everyday carry. The Tourniquet Now!™ Pouch gives you superior protection yet quick access to your tourniquets. In line with our other medical equipment such as the Trauma Kit NOW!™ and the Micro TKN™ – the Tourniquet Now!™ Pouch can be accessed with one hand – simply pull the tab down and remove the tourniquet.

Previously you had to decide between overbuilt flapped or zippered pouches, hard ‘open top’ pouches, or having your tourniquet exposed with rubber bands. The first option can become too complicated or time consuming searching for a zipper pull – time that cannot be afforded when seconds is the difference in survival. Exposed tourniquets will experience faster degradation from UV rays, water, and sand and debris – not to mention the possible failure of the rubber bands holding the tourniquet.

The Tourniquet Now!™ Pouch was designed around the CAT tourniquet but can fit the SOF, RATS, TK4, SWAT-T, or other similar sized tourniquets and serves as a great all-around rapid deploy pouch. The tourniquet fits inside an elastic keeper attached to the lid that is then folded up and secured on the top with a hook and loop field. Lastly a BLIP™ – or Ball Loaded Index Point makes for the perfect ‘pull’ with gloved, wet, or bloody hands. . The ball doesn’t rely on friction; the bones in your fingers positively engage it. BLIP’s form is both easy to pull and impossible to miss. . As with all Blue Force Gear equipment, it is made with excellence in the USA and carries a limited lifetime warranty.

Technical and Colors

MOLLE

The Tourniquet Now!™ Pouch starts with the Helium Whisper® MOLLE attachment system made of ULTRAcomp® – a battle proven, high performance laminate. This creates a small and light yet secure MOLLE attachment for the pouch on any MOLLE war-belt, plate carrier, pack, or any other platform.

BELT

The Belt Mounted Tourniquet Now!™ Pouch allows you to carry a tourniquet on your belt – easily the most effective life saving device. Whether a trip to the mall, the office, or through the woods – a tourniquet should always be with you. The pouch fits on any pants belt or duty belts up to 2” wide.

Dimensions – 2” x 2” x 7”
Weight – 41 grams empty
Colors – Black, Coyote Brown and MultiCam.

Pricing and Availability

The Tourniquet Now!™ Pouch is available now at www.blueforcegear.com/tourniquet-now-pouch

Pricing ranges from $29 to $39 per pouch.

Revision Holds Groundbreaking Ceremony For New Facility, Joined by New Hampshire US Senators

August 13th, 2018

Portsmouth, New Hampshire (August 13, 2018) – Today Revision Military—a world leader in tactical and military eyewear, helmet systems, power management solutions, and advanced integrated soldier systems—held a groundbreaking ceremony for a new facility located in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Revision CEO Jonathan Blanshay was joined by U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and U.S. Senator Maggie Hassan (D-NH). The new facility will be located on an eight acre lot on Corporate Drive at the Pease International Tradeport. This new Center of Excellence—the Revision Advanced Warfighter Equipment Development Center—will house a warfighter experience and development lab, including simulation capabilities; a rapid prototyping lab; an integrated soldier systems development lab and offices; and an armor prototyping and development facility.

“We are tremendously excited to commence this new venture in New Hampshire and honored to begin this next chapter with New Hampshire Senators Shaheen and Hassan,” said Jonathan Blanshay. “I would like to personally thank Senator Shaheen for her steadfast leadership on the Armed Services Committee and for her tireless work to bring advanced defense technologies to New Hampshire. I sincerely thank Senator Hassan for her guidance during her time as Governor, her continued support of our company in the Senate, and her stewardship with the New Hampshire Department of Resources and Economic Development and the University of New Hampshire during our site consideration. Both Senators have promoted legislative provisions that will directly impact the initial work Revision will undertake in the Granite State. We look forward to working together to create jobs and bring world-class development of our most advanced protective equipment and soldier systems to the Seacoast.”

“Revision’s expansion to New Hampshire helps fortify our state’s role as a supporter of critical national defense programs,” said Senator Jeanne Shaheen. “Their new facility at Pease International Tradeport will provide important job opportunities for our evolving workforce, preparing Granite Staters for jobs of the 21st century economy. I’m excited to see Revision join other defense companies in New Hampshire, helping to make our state a hub for technological innovation. As a member of the Senate Armed Services and Appropriations Committees, I will continue to advocate for their continued efforts that support our military readiness.”

“As Governor I was proud to work with Revision to show them all the great benefits of bringing their business to our state, and as Senator I am continuing to work to ensure that innovative businesses like Revision have the support they need to thrive in New Hampshire,” Senator Maggie Hassan said. “I am thrilled that Revision Military chose the Granite State for the future site of its Advanced Warfighter Equipment Development Center, which will play a critical role in supporting our brave law enforcement officers and service members who dedicate their lives to keeping us all safe.”

In May, Revision announced the company’s intentions to expand operations to New Hampshire and detailed the 5,000 square foot temporary office that has been established to facilitate this transition. This office space is located on International Drive in Pease International Tradeport, just a short distance from the future site, and hiring has already started – visit revisionmilitary.com/careers for open jobs in Portsmouth. By expanding to Portsmouth, Revision will improve access to its military customer base in the Greater Boston area, as well as along the eastern seaboard, and will be better positioned to work collaboratively with local academic institutions and a significant number of locally-based partners and suppliers. The Seacoast region is also home to a vibrant talent pool that will help propel Revision’s efforts to deliver best-in-class soldier system technology.

The Revision Advanced Warfighter Equipment Development Center will become Revision’s seventh facility, joining three locations in Vermont, two in Canada, and one in the United Kingdom. The work done in New Hampshire will also grow and sustain business in Revision’s other facilities, especially the two advanced manufacturing facilities in Vermont (optics in Essex Junction and helmets/armor in Newport). Construction of the 47,000 square foot facility (with room to expand an additional 55,000 square feet as required) is scheduled to begin in fall 2018. The anticipated completion date of the construction is mid-to-late 2019, at which point Revision plans to hire an additional 50 to 60 new employees to initiate operations at the new facility.
