May 6th, 2025No larger than a 3kw portable generator Anduril Industries’ new Pulsar-Light is a software-defined Electromagnetic Warfare (EW) system designed primarily for counter drone operations, combining detect, ID, track, and defeat all in one box.
Deployable in two minutes, Anduril is fielding two configurations of Pulsar-L:
– Airborne, designed for airborne EW missions
– Expeditionary, built for every warfighter
Like other versions, Pulsar-V (vehicle), Pulsar Alpha (airborne) and the fixed-site emplacement, this new Light model can be operated independently or integrated with Lattice. It is also compatible with other C2 and Common Operating Picture solutions, including TAK.
SOF Week 25 – Crye Precision LPV Slick
May 6th, 2025The Crye Precision LPV SLICK vest features a low-profile construction that creates a discreet vest system—ideal for covert operations. It’s also available in a tactical version. Look for availability after SHOT Show 2026.
The unique construction enables a nearly seamless profile at the top of the vest when plates are inserted. Designed to provide a lightweight, form-fitting solution that ensures both comfort and concealability, it accommodates both Low-Vis and Level 4 standalone plates, making it adaptable for various operational needs. The top-loaded padded plate closure maximizes comfort, while openings for cable pass-through enhance functionality. Multiple cummerbund attachments offer flexibility and customization for the user.

2025 Special Operations Force Week
May 6th, 2025Welcome to SOF Week 2025, presented by Global SOF Foundation.
There have already been several new product announcements associated with the show and we’ve got even more to share with you.
Test Drive an AttackPAK at SOF Week
May 6th, 2025We’ve improved everything about carrying heavy battle kit.
AttackPAK builds better kit for soldiers, focused on improving the ergonomics of carrying heavy equipment, enhancing human performance, and preventing injury. Too many dudes are living life in pain caused by carrying heavy equipment improperly with all of the weight of their kit on their shoulders and spine, resulting in crushed spinal discs and nerve damage. It doesn’t matter how much you work-out spinal discs and nerves don’t get stronger. One miss step can be a career ender.
The human body is better suited to carry heavy equipment on the stronger hips and legs like mountaineers have been doing for decades. Until the AttackPAK Integrated Load Carriage that hasn’t been possible. Gun belts, body armor, and backpacks are not compatible so soldiers don’t use the pack belt, and tie it out of the way. This design fixes that and improves everything that is flawed with legacy packs.
Improvements:
– Better ergonomics
– Lighter weight
– Less expensive
– Easier to balance
– Quick ditch, easy don
– Mission adaptable
– Upgrades legacy equipment
The system is built with a 2oz Gravity Pocket™ on the back of your gun belt, combined with a 6oz Spine™ that goes into your plate carrier to redistribute the weight of your plate carrier off your shoulders and onto your hips. A 16oz Spine™ goes into your ruck and also plugs into the Gravity Pocket™. Both Spines™ quick ditch and are easy to don by yourself.

Octasic Unleashes Wraith for Covert Tactical Uncrewed Missions
May 6th, 2025Wraith Mod Payload family of RF and wireless solutions to accelerate deployments of
new advanced covert mission capabilities across airborne and maritime UxS platforms
Montreal, Canada — May 6, 2025 — Octasic Inc. and Octasic US Inc. today announced its collaborative launch of Wraith, a portfolio of ‘Mod Payload’ ultra-compact, multi-mission solutions that bring specialized radio frequency and other wireless functions to the modern signals intelligence warfighter.
Purpose-built to meet the USSOCOM Modular Payload Standard, Wraith solves many tactical edge issues all at once, including reliability, interchangeability and maintainability, faster in-field replacements, and a reduction in life cycle costs for all relevant EW/EA, SIGINT, PSYOPS/CMAS, C5ISR, and Cyber systems.
“Wraith embodies our vision for the next generation of modular, mission-adaptable payloads,” said Sébastien Leblanc, CEO of Octasic. “It delivers the advanced wireless capabilities forces need to protect, deter, and respond with precision across today’s complex operational environments.”
“Spectrum dominance starts with the right payloads on the right platforms,” said Greg Gerou, President and General Manager of Octasic US. “Wraith is engineered to help our partners close capability gaps and maintain operational advantage in a fast-moving threat environment.”
Recognized globally by public and national security organizations, Octasic is seeking to expand its wireless signal processing and advanced 5G SA detection, localization, and geolocation capabilities to the defense market.
Wraith solutions address this by leveraging the deep Octasic expertise in highly integrated Software Defined Radio (SDR) technologies that offer best-in-class low size, weight, and power payload designs for Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS), Uncrewed Surface Vehicles (USVs), Uncrewed Underwater Vehicles (UUVs), and even larger crewed airborne craft.
The Wraith payload system roadmap includes a range of RF Front End options to meet mission altitude and performance requirements.
To reduce the time and complexity for crews to swap capabilities down range ‘modularity’ is the winning strategy. It enables incremental improvements of components, subsystems, software, and mixing-and-matching capabilities according to objectives. The arsenal of the future is a drone fleet that benefits from updatable software libraries and plug-and-play payloads.
Wraith will be showcased at Octasic Booth #1317 during SOF Week in Tampa, Florida, from May 6–8, 2025.
Availability: General availability of Wraith is expected by Q4, 2025.
Wilcox Announces Two New Additions to our Line of Weapon Mounts
May 6th, 2025NEWINGTON, NH, May 5th, 2025 –Wilcox Industries Corp. is pleased to announce two new additions to our line of weapon mounts.
The Flip-Pivot Mount allows for the integration of a thermal weapon sight [TWS] or night vision device [NVD] onto a Mounted Machine Gun Optic [MMO]. Additionally, the TWS or the NVD can be flipped up and rotated 180 degrees to be used separately as a 1x rear viewing standalone optic, providing a new option of flexibility and overall performance.
The FWS-I Side Flip Mount is designed to be interoperable with an array of weapon platforms that utilize a MIL-STD 1913 or NATO 4694 Rail. The FWS-I uses force-to-overcome to quickly flip your monocular away from your weapon optic during operation.
Both the Flip-Pivot Mount & FWS-I Side Flip Mount will be available for live demonstrations at Booth #1804 during SOF Week 2025 in Tampa, FL, from May 5th to May 8th. Wilcox Product Experts will be on hand to provide additional information throughout the show.
