INNOVATIVE. MODULAR. MISSION SPECIFIC.

The B.E. Meyers & Co. MAWL-DA® (Modular Advanced Weapon Laser – Direct Action) is an IR and visible green weapon laser for aiming and illumination. Understanding the shortcomings of common laser devices in use with both military and law enforcement, B.E. Meyers & Co. built the MAWL-DA with three ideal settings (Close Range, Mid Range, and Long Range) which allow for seamless transitions in any operational environment. Engineered with B.E. Meyers & Co.’s proprietary VCSEL technology, it offers significantly improved beam quality and clarity while maintaining efficiency. The MAWL-DA was designed from the ground up to meet the needs of the modern night fighter and is currently used by Special Operations Forces across the world.

INTELLIGENT. EFFECTIVE. EYE SAFE.

B.E. Meyers and Co.’s GLARE® series of weapon mounted lasers is the most advanced Ocular Interruption System available capable of providing effective Hail and Warning. Featuring B.E. Meyers & Co.’s patented SmartRange™ technology, the GLARE RECOL™, GLARE HELIOS™, and LA-22/U provide immediate and recognizable visual warning from 4m to 20km and beyond while maintaining eye safe power output on target.

LOW PROFILE. LIGHTWEIGHT. MODULAR.

The BOARS® -M2 is a low profile optics and accessories rail for the M2 platform. It offers quick-disconnect with true return-to-zero reattach for switching between day and night optics. The BOARS-M2’s minimal height over receiver allows for a lower end user defilade, while still featuring a pass through aperture for use with iron sights.

EXTREME POWER. EXTREME DISTANCE. MAXIMUM VERSATILITY.

The IZLID® series of long range IR and SWIR laser pointers and illuminators have quickly become a sought after signaling and target marking commodity for handheld, weapon, and aircraft mounted applications. They have been to hell-and-back in conflict zones across the world, and stay operational and effective no matter how much abuse they take in the field.

Franklin Armory – BFSIII For CZ Scorpion

May 3rd, 2018

Franklin Armory has just announced the debut of the BFSIII for the CZ Scorpion at this year’s NRA Annual Meeting. Developed with direct assistance from CZ-USA, the BFSIII is a three mode binary trigger assembly for the CZ Scorpion which allows for ‘safe’, ‘semi’, and ‘binary’ firing modes, the latter allowing for the discharge of a round on the pull of a trigger and a round on release of the trigger. Currently, the BFSIII for the CZ Scorpion is being placed into final production, with shipping slated for 3rd quarter 2018. Pre-orders will be made avaiable starting July 4th.

Attendees of the NRA Annual Meetings can see this and more offerings from Franklin Armory at booth 4105.

Check out the video below to see the BFSIII for the CZ Scorpion in action:

10 Years SWAT Use, 100K Rounds, Still Performing

May 3rd, 2018

In this video, Sgt. Bill Blowers of the Kent Police Department details the departments experience with SureFire suppressors.

SureFire SOCOM suppressors combine compact size; minimal weight; superior reduction of sound and dust signatures; fail-safe baffles; extreme durability permitting full-time use; virtual elimination of first-round flash; reduced back pressure that lowers suppressed cyclic rate and gas blowback on the operator; rock-solid mounting to weapons; fast and easy detachment after extensive firing — and minimal, consistent shift in the unsuppressed point of impact, regardless of the number of attach-detach cycles. But don’t take our word for it, hear from our customers.

HENSOLDT Presents “TwInvis” Passive Radar for the First Time in Live Operation

May 2nd, 2018

New sensor demonstrates its capabilities during ILA in Berlin

Munich/Berlin, 25 April 2018 – HENSOLDT, the leading German sensor solutions provider, is presenting its passive radar system called “TwInvis” to the public for the first time in live operation during this year’s International Aerospace Exhibition (ILA) in Berlin. The new product name “TwInvis” is made up from “twin” + “invisible”, as neither TwInvis itself nor the targets to be detected emit any signals on their own, which means that they are “invisible”. The TwInvis system, which can be integrated into an all-terrain vehicle or a van, does not emit its own signals to monitor air traffic, but simply “passively” analyses the echoes of signals from radio or TV stations.

“Our newly developed, highly sensitive digital receivers now make it possible for a single TwInvis system to monitor up to 200 aircraft in 3D within a radius of 250 kilometres. This was unthinkable even just a few years ago,” said HENSOLDT CEO Thomas Müller. “This will open up completely new options for application in such fields as air defence, the protection of large events or air traffic control.”

Working as mere receivers, passive radar systems detect aircraft by analysing the signals that they reflect from existing third-party emissions. HENSOLDT’s TwInvis system excels with a very precise picture of the airspace covered, which is obtained by simultaneously analysing a large number of frequency bands. For example, up to 16 FM transmitters (analogue radio) plus 5 frequencies used by several DAB and DAB+ transmitters (digital radio) as well as DVB-T and DVB-T2 (digital, terrestrial television) can be simultaneously analysed for the first time. Furthermore, HENSOLDT’s new generation of software will provide unprecedented performance in terms of range and precision of detection.

In civil applications, passive radar systems make cost-effective air traffic control possible without any additional emissions and without using transmission frequencies, which are in short supply. In military applications, the system enables wide-area surveillance using networked receivers, while offering the advantage that passive radar systems cannot be located by the enemy and are very hard to jam. Moreover, no agreement is required with any other public authority, as there is no radiation, which allows the system to be quickly ready for deployment in new locations and to also be used in urban areas. This results in another advantage of the new technology: the system can be used in places where coverage was previously inadequate, in particular for example, in mountainous regions.

TwInvis has already shown what it can do in several demonstrations to military customers, air traffic control organisations and other interested parties. Two TwInvis demonstrators have already been delivered to potential customers in Europe.
