May 9th, 2016Warrior West – Canadian Urban Environment Type III
May 9th, 2016
Here you can see Hyperstealth’s Guy Cramer wearing their Urban Environment Type III developed for a Canadian requirement which originated in 2009 by the Department of National Defence, Defence Research and Development Canada – Suffield, (DRDC-S) in Alberta to develop a Canadian Urban Environment Pattern (CUEPAT) based on the unique requirements of Canada’s three major metropolitan areas, Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. CUEPAT was intended for use on CBRNE suits.
Back in 2012, we showed you their developmental Types I & II.
Both are seen here along with arid coloration samples (CUEPAT 2 is left, CUEPAT 1 is right). While Types I amd II were meant for use in highly urbanized areas, the Type III at the top is tuned for use in the suburbs where concrete transitions to greenway.
TYR Tactical – Tactical Uniform Belt, G-Hook Variant
May 9th, 2016
During last week’s Warrior West Range Day, I got a chance to check out TYR Tactical’s mobile showroom. I was kind of like Yoda going through Luke’s gear on Degobah and I ran across this new belt. The Tactical Unifom Belt is a low profile design, meant for keeping your pants up. Made from padded softshell material, this variant incorporates a G-hook closure at the front. It’s easy to adjust and get through your belt loops.
Federal Resources Completes Acquisition of KD Analytical
May 9th, 2016Federal Resources is a contract holder for Defense Logistics Agency’s Special Operations Tailored Logistics System program.
The acquisition builds upon Federal Resources’ mission to increase market penetration and provide its customers with complete life-cycle sustainment solutions.
Stevensville, MD — April 29, 2016 — Federal Resources Supply Company (FRSC), a leading government contracting company, announced today that it has acquired KD Analytical Consulting, Inc. The acquisition significantly expands upon Federal Resources’ current success in providing high-quality, cost-effective total life-cycle solutions for its customers in first response and special mission operations of Department of Defense, state and local agencies, first responders, navy fleet and commercial marine organizations. In addition, KD Analytical’s expertise in critical infrastructure protection and environmental analysis greatly advances Federal Resources’ capability to serve these complementary markets.
Founded in 2003, Harrisburg, PA based KD Analytical Consulting, Inc. (KDA) is a leader in the support of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive (CBRNE) detection equipment and provides worldwide mission sustainment, technical support, service and training to government and military first responders, critical infrastructure protection and environmental analytical clients. The company provides technical support and repair services to some of the largest CBRNE response organizations in the United States.
“KDA’s market-leading technical services, high caliber management team, and its commitment to quality are a perfect fit with Federal Resources’ mission and values,” said Robert McWilliams, Chief Executive Officer, FRSC. “Bringing these unique capabilities into our company significantly improves our ability to service what we sell, providing end-to-end sustainment solutions for our customers who protect the nation.”
“By teaming with one of the nation’s most successful, growth-oriented government contracting companies, KDA can leverage FRSC’s resources and market penetration to enhance its leadership position and deliver our complementary services to a much wider audience,” said Patrick Dempsey, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, KDA. “We are pleased to combine our strengths and offer improved solutions to the military, first responder, critical infrastructure protection, and homeland security communities we serve.”
Tactical Distributors – New Carlos Ray Pant Colors Available for Pre-Order
May 9th, 2016The last time TD’s infamous Carlos Ray Pants were offered, they sold out in a matter of days. If you’re interested in Ranger Green or Flat Dark Earth, now is the time to pre-order yours.
Belleville – Exodus 451
May 9th, 2016During last week’s Warrior West I got to check out a new hot weather boot from Belleville. The Exodus 451 incorporates Gore-Tex Extended Comfort Technology.
This new construction is radically different than what you are used to with Gore-Tex lined boots. In the past, they used a bootie shaped liner that was sewn into the boot. With Gore-Tex Extended Comfort Technology, the membrane is laminated directly to the boot’s outer material, mimicking the construction of outerwear. The result is a boot that is lighter, cooler to the foot in hot weather, and more breathable.
Initially, the Exodus 451 is offered in Black, but a Coyote version is on the way.
Suunto Traverse Alpha
May 9th, 2016While it’s not exactly a ‘tactical’ watch, the Traverse Alpha from Suunto is right at home in the outdoors.
I prefer navigation watches that use both GPS/GLONASS and this one does. Other features include moon phase calendar, gunshot detection, sunrise alert, weather trend, and red backlight for nighttime use.
That gunshot detection feature is cool for the hunter. When a shot is detected by the Treverse Alpha is drops a pin on your route. When used in conjunction with movescount you can visualize your hunt on a topographic map. By recording the position of other events on your hunt and linking pictures and videos, you can produce a short movie of your hunt that you can share with others.
Tested to MIL STD 819G*, the Traverse Alpha features a knurled stainless steel bezel, water repellent nylon strap and scratch resistant sapphire crystal glass. Vibration alerts and a customizable, night vision goggle compatible red backlight help you stay unnoticed.
Available in Foliage and Stealth color variants.
