SILYNX Communications Selected as Communications Protection/Enhancement System for TACOPS Talaria All-In-One Communications Pack

June 1st, 2017

STERLING, VIRGINIA – SILYNX Communications (SILYNX), a world leader in the design, development, and manufacture of ruggedized, in-ear hearing protection and headset systems, announces the selection of the CLARUS system as the push-to-talk and headset ensemble for the TACOPS® Talaria All-In-One communications pack by TSSi (Tactical & Survival Specialties, Inc.).

The CLARUS system is the world’s smallest and lightest headset system. The CLARUS simplifies the user’s operation and accessibility to the PTT switches on the miniaturized control unit. CLARUS provides impulse and steady state noise protection, with electronic hear-thru, in both noisy and normal environments. As part of the Talaria system, Clarus provides intercom interoperability, clear communications, sound localization for 360 degree situational awareness, and active hearing protection to conserve hearing in the most dangerous environments.

The TACOPS® Talaria All-in-One Communications Pack – created by TSSi — allows any communicator the ability to establish communications over VHF and UHF bands with hands free push-to-talk and an amplified signal while providing all the needed equipment in a single part number and a custom made C4I bag. The Talaria’s unique design allows for storage of all equipment and coax without having to route through external MOLLE adapters. Each communicator will have the ability to establish worldwide communication at their fingertips while reducing their pack weight by at least 22 pounds.

The Talaria system is available now directly from TSSi at www.tssi-ops.com/talaria-comms-pack or from Silynx at www.silynxcom.com, or through GSA and TLS contracts.

Rampart Range Day 2017 – Night Vision Devices

May 31st, 2017

While Night Vision Devices offers a full range of image intensification and thermal systems, their Binocular Night Vision Device upgrade program is quite interesting.

What Night Vision Devices is offering law enforcement agencies in Canada and the US as well as internationally, is the ability to upgrade two existing PVS14s into a dual tube google. This service runs around $2500. One of the ways NVD controls cost is by harvesting as many components from the legacy monocular as possible. Considering the cost of a new BNVD is at least three times that, it’s a great alternative for those organizations who have PVS14s, but want to upgrade their capabilities.

Rampart Range Day 2017 – Scalarworks

May 31st, 2017

Scalar Works debuted their new On Point Sights for the AR, developed in conjunction with Larry Vickers. I’m super impressed with these fixed iron sights. Not only do these Picatinny compatible sights look great and are easy to adjust with just your finger, they are also well thought out.

When industry transitioned from a 20″ sight radius found in the M16, many back up sights, and fixed sights for that matter didn’t compensate for the shorter sight radius of the carbine. Consequently, the adjustment screws don’t actually offer what we would consider standard MOA adjustments. You may have noticed this phenomenon when adjusting your iron sights. The shift isn’t as predictable as we would hope during adjustments.

Scalarorks sat down and did the math to reintroduce predictability in iron sight adjustment. While their adjustments are based on a 15″ sight radius, each set of sights comes with a easy to understand guide to determine amount of adjustment per click based on your radius.

Additionally, LAV realized that when we had transitioned from the M16A1 to the A2, we flipped the rear peep sights around so that we no longer looked at the flat face but rather the scallop. This can cause distortion due to light reflecting within the scallop. Consequently, the On Point Sights have flat peep sight faces.
