Toronto, Canada – GSCI Advanced Photonics,
Over 27 years ago, GSCI Advanced Photonis designed its first night vision device to aid professional users in their low light missions.
Since then, GSCI engineers have kept innovating. And today, GSCI Advanced Photonics’ night vision, thermal imaging, and fusion thermal devices are some of the most distinctive on the market, offering end users an expanded feature set and higher reliability than any other on the market.
Drawing attention to the latest development – QUADRO-VS, a system using GSCI’s renowned patented fusion technology, designed for professional end-users Worldwide, who need 100% detection and recognition capabilities at all times. The device consists of a cross-platform mobile fusion system for ground vehicles, unmanned aircraft, guard towers and other applications where safety is at stake and uncompromised detection is a must.
“GSCI has taken a few extra steps in the fusion technology development with the QUADRO-VS”, said Isaac B., M.Sc., one of GSCI’s Engineers “The device allows disengaging vehicle headlights, to avoid unwanted attention and to reduce the risk of exposure, yet maintaining the user’s ability to safely operate the said vehicle, with the QUADRO-VS’s ability to detect and recognize objects and/or people with real-time and delay-free transmission of the fused image”.
The unit is ruggedly built, light-weight at less than 350 grams, and offers easy installation and both vertical and horizontal positions, it is also equipped with several unparalleled features:
• Five Operation Modes: Thermal, Day, Night, Day-Fusion, and Night-Fusion for a variety of lighting and environmental conditions;
• Super wide Field of View offering excellent Situation Awareness;
• An Anti-Ambush Aid for Hostile Environments – helping users to neutralize possible threats in advance – with the wide Field Of View, only 7 QUADRO-VS systems installed around a perimeter create panoramic 360° view, allowing true, real time continuous perimeter observation and detection for tactical purposes.
• Remote In-Vehicle Operation; and
• A Fully-Passive Undetectable System – does not emit any light, heat, laser or any other type of radiation.
GSCI Advanced Photonics is an ITAR-free leading developer and manufacturer of high-end professional electro-optical systems, and its patented fusion technology is already considered a top-tier within the industry. As with all other systems, QUADRO-VS is backed by a 7 year warranty.

Max is a tactical trainer and author, a professional soldier with extensive experience in British elite forces and as a paramilitary contractor. Max was enlisted and later commissioned, via the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, into the Parachute Regiment. The Parachute Regiment is an elite airborne infantry unit, comparable to the U.S. 75th Ranger Regiment, accessible only via the renowned ‘Pegasus Company’ Selection course. Max served in 1 and 2 PARA. Of the three PARA battalions, 2 and 3 PARA serve in 16 Air Assault Brigade as the UK’s elite Rapid Response Force, with one battalion at permanent high readiness for worldwide intervention operations. Max served in Para Reg when it was utilized to provide elite airborne infantry support to UKSF, as the forefathers of the SFSG. With training and operations validating the concept, including Op Barras (Sierra Leone), 1 PARA was placed permanently in role as part of the SFSG.
Additionally, Max served on a number of deployments, to include multiple tours in Northern Ireland, the Balkans and Afghanistan. Additional overseas assignments saw the opportunity to train, or train with, allied nations, including the U.S. Military. Roles which Max filled included rifle platoon commander, patrol leader, recruit instructor (platoon commander) at the PARA Training Depot, anti-armor platoon commander (fire support company), operations officer and command on deployments. Reaching a career point facing staff college and moving away from command of paratroopers, Max made the decision to resign from the service. After leaving the British Army, Max spent a further five years working operationally as a paramilitary contractor in both Iraq and Afghanistan; the latter two years based in Helmand Province working alongside the UK Military.
Since 2013, Max has run Max Velocity Tactical (MVT), a training company conceived to offer professional combat training for responsible citizens. As the Velocity Training Center (VTC) has grown into a state of the art training venue, MVT also took on pre-deployment training for U.S. SOF. This runs the spectrum from facility rental to tailored training packages specializing in Small Unit Tactics.

Apparently three shows a year was too much so OR has cancelled the Winter Market originally scheduled for this November and combined it with the Snow Show to create a combined Outdoor + Snow Show, January 29 – 31, 2020.
Attendees will be refunded their registration fee for Winter Market and those companies who purchased November booth space may be refunded or apply their fee toward a booth at the new, combined show in January.
From here on out, there will be two shows per year, each three days in duration. Since January, 2018, Denver has hosted the shows. OR is contracted to remain in Denver until 2022.
Offering the same modular innovation introduced with the Standard-size O.Z-9, the scaled-down O.Z-9 Compact blurs the line between personal defense, concealed carry and a duty pistol without sacrificing any features. Better balance, less felt recoil, more control, faster target acquisition, and flatter shooting are all noticeable advantages of the full-length internal steel receiver. Other key features include an improved grip angle and ergonomics, extended beavertail, the enhanced grip texture, and single pin take-down modularity.
“The OZ9 Compact is the epidemy of modularity. I always envisioned being able to have one gun that would do anything with endless options. The Standard OZ9 was just the first step, and the Compact is the next. With this platform we will be releasing new grips, slides, and accessories that allow the end-user the ability to customize the gun to better fit their needs.” said Alec Wolf, Founder and CTO ZEV Technologies.
“If you are familiar with the O.Z-9, then you are going to love the Compact O.Z-9. It offers the same full-size modularity of O.Z-9, just in a smaller, more concealable version.” said Dave Roberts, V.P. of Marketing.
