Black Palm Syndicate has introduced a ‘sanitized’ version of their popular MultiCam softshell ballcap. Treated with Schoeller Nanosphere to keep out the weather, they’ve left out the Velcro field on the front and streamlined the crown just a little. This FlexFit cap is offered in Small/Medium and Large/XLarge.
The new Trivec AV2094-3 provides true on-the-move communications for long-range or over-the-horizon missions. Securely contained under a rugged radome, the self-steering vehicular UHF SATCOM system features a automatic pointing capability that greatly improves the signal-to-noise ratio when compared to omni-directional antennas. Rigorous testing confirms that communication integrity is maintained on-the-move even while using low-angle satellites.
AV2094-3 system features include:
• 5 dBiC gain @ beam max.
• Control unit stores up to 30 satellite profiles and is extremely easy to use
• Control unit stores last-satellite-used information for immediate on-the-go quick-start operations
• Minimum user interaction. Self-steering antenna auto-adjusts to speed and direction of vehicle
• Rugged enclosure—antenna unit is protected by radome
Every two weeks SSD showcases a different MultiCam print fabric from Duro Textiles LLC. This week, we are covering Sigma. MultiCam is a single camouflage pattern designed to hide the wearer in varied environments, seasons, elevations, and light conditions. After a great deal of commercial success and adoption by elements of US Special Operations Forces, in 2010 MultiCam was selected for use by the US Army as its Operation Enduring Freedom Camouflage Pattern (OCP).
SIGMA is a 70D E PTFE 3ply fabric with Tricot backing. This is an IR treated, waterproof breathable hardshell fabric is ideal for use in extreme cold weather outerwear. The PTFE film is sandwiched between a nylon face fabric and tricot backing to protect the film. To ensure its waterproof integrity, SIGMA requires taped seams.

BAE Systems has received a $7 million order from the US Army to produce and deliver parachute systems for use by Army Jumpmasters during airborne operations.
Based on BAE Systems’ FAA-certified Durachute technology, which has 36 different configurations with varying Automatic Activation Devices, canopy releases and ripcord handles, the Advanced Emergency Bailout Parachute (AEBP) is lightweight and can be worn in backpack style, or it can be incorporated into fixed-wing or rotorcraft crew seats.
“BAE Systems’ AEBP is environmentally-sealed with our patented technology,” said Greg Kraak, program director for Warfighter Equipment at BAE Systems Support Solutions. “This feature is a great benefit to the Army as it significantly reduces operational costs and extends repack service for up to five years.”
Another key feature of the environmentally-sealed technology is the parachute’s compact size when packed. This technology reduces the volume and bulk associated with packing a parachute, ultimately easing emergency egress from the aircraft.
The new $7 million order will be produced at the BAE Systems Phoenix, AZ facility. Deliveries are expected to begin this September and will continue through September 2013.
