I haven’t covered SOMSA for several years due to scheduling conflicts. However, since I was at Fort Bragg this week, I decided to jaunt over to Charlotte to attend this year’s event.
Not only was it well attended, but there were an unprecedented number of vendors. Additionally, those seeking out training have an entire menu of options available.
If you’re in the emergency medicine business, I highly recommend you attend this event in the future and you become a member of SOMA.

DroneShield Ltd (ASX:DRO) (“DroneShield” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the release of body-worn drone detection product, RfPatrolTM. Weighing under 1kg, the product is expected to be of significant interest to a range of DroneShield’s customer base globally, across military, law enforcement, security and VIP markets. Importantly, as RfPatrolTM is a completely passive (non-emitting) product, it substantially broadens the range of customers to whom the product is lawfully available. The product was developed in response to substantial customer interest.

DroneShield is also pleased to announce an immediate customer purchase order for a small quantity of RfPatrol units by the Department of Defence of a Western country. While the revenue from the order is not material, the order is for evaluation towards a potential larger purchase order.
DroneShield’s CEO Oleg Vornik commented, “We are excited to launch RfPatrol. Due to its miniaturised/body-worn nature, substantially larger customer universe due to its non-emitting nature, and a relatively lower price point compared to fixed site products, we expect it to have substantial appeal. In addition to being able to be used as a stand-alone, it is a perfect companion to our DroneGunTM product”.

911 Supply first began in 1995. The company was founded with a mission to provide quality products to Police, Military, and First Responders across Canada – so those brave service members can keep their focus on the task at hand – rather than questioning whether they have the right gear for the job.
Based out of Calgary Alberta Canada, 911 Supply is fast approaching the largest event in company history: a Grand Opening of their expanded and completely overhauled facility. 911 Supply now boasts the largest showroom in the Canadian industry, and the addition of a modern 30 person classroom & training facility.
Join them on Saturday May 11th, where you can enjoy discounts, prize draws, a chance to speak with manufacturer representatives, product demos, food trucks, and more.
Tour their new facility and meet with instructors to learn more about the future of this centre for learning. Headline sponsors of the event include Arc’teryx LEAF, 5.11 Tactical, Crye Precision, Avon Protection, Original SWAT, and AKU.

We may mentioned once or twice that MMA Fighter and SF NCO Tim Kennedy will present training at next week’s Warrior West in San Diego, but thats because we anticipate this to be the best event ever presented at a Warrior Expo.
“Every time you train, train with the motivation and purpose that you will be the hardest person someone ever tries to kill.”
Tim Kennedy
UFC Middleweight Fighter | Army Ranger | Special Forces Sniper | Weapon Specialist | Actor
The premise behind the training is that there are three types of people in this world: the wolf, the sheep, and the sheepdog. The wolf is violent, the sheep is passive, and the sheepdog is there to protect one from the other.
The Details:
