ADS Federal Range Day 23 – SoRite DECON

June 8th, 2023

At every show I attend I run across something completely unexpected and this time it was SoRite DECON. Produced by a small, woman-owned company in Nashville, SoRite DECON is quickly becoming a go-to product for law enforcement, first responders, and even the military due to its ability to render narcotics inert. Those who hit the scene first are vulnerable to unintentional contamination by narcotics and many have suffered overdoses.

Decontaminating at the molecular level, SoRite DECON renders fentanyl and heroine inert in 60 seconds. The compound contains Sodium Chlorite which oxidizes and destroys fentanyl and heroin. A number of chemical groups in fentanyl and heroin, especially the carbon linked oxygens and nitrogens, are highly susceptible to oxidation which cleaves and destroys fentanyl and heroin at those locations.

According to the manufacturer Aseptic Health, SoRite DECON is also safe on your skin and does not emit a heavy odor. It is also non-corrosive and safe in your clothing and equipment as well as the interior of vehicles for use to decon after transport.

SoRite DECON is offered in multiple container sizes as well as wipes.

ADS Federal Range Day 23 – Reaper Training Systems

June 8th, 2023

The Reaper target from Reaper Training Systems is the most innovative target system I’ve seen in some time.

The stand mimics the human skeleton and the plates, each made from 3/8″ ballistic steel, are shaped like different anatomy zones. Due to the design, spent projectiles are directed toward the ground meaning you can fire most handgun ammo safely at 7 yards and rifle ammo at 20 yards out.

Not only does this steel target mimic the human body, but it also offers audible feed back due to the tuning fork cuts in each plate which emits a different sound pitch as they are hit.

You can also attach cardboard targets to the front of the Reaper and will still get the audible feedback in addition to the paper record of your training.

There are multiple configurations available.

ADS Federal Range Day 23 – Rapid Access Safe Room

June 8th, 2023

There were a lot of great products at Federal Range Day, but I found this to be the most significant.

The Rapid Access Safe Room was designed by manufacturer and contractor KT Solutions USA to protect school students and staffs from active shooter threats. Naturally, it can installed in other buildings, both government and private sector, as well.

Offering NIJ level III armor protection, the RASR can be stored against the wall, the sides configured as dry erase or cork boards, yet can be deployed in 10 seconds, providing shelter from gunfire or even objects propelled around a room due to a tornado.

The door and wall are locked from within making unauthorized entry extremely difficult. Yes, there’s a way to gain entry in the case someone accidentally locks themselves inside and is incapable of opening the door but I’m not going to disclose it here.

There are optional cameras for both inside and outside the shelter which can be used to verify the identities and condition of those within the shelter and to maintain situational awareness outside of the shelter.

Interestingly, the safe room is manufactured with a standard height and custom panels are fashioned for each installation to allow it to cover from floor to ceiling.

Agilite just launched their revolutionary patented Warfighter Cummerbund which fixes the issues with regular cummerbunds-Check out the video to see how it works here.

It has several very unique features and it attaches to their K-Zero™ plate carrier or any other plate carrier with hook and loop flaps.

It has patented interchangeable ends so you can switch out either First Spear Tubes or velcro flaps in seconds.

The Warfighter has 3 full rows of MOLLE but only the top two are stiffened so it doesn’t chafe the wearer’s hip bones.

UK Royal Marines field over 1,000 Persistent Systems MPU5 Handheld Networking Radios to Support Future Commando Force

June 8th, 2023

UK’s Ministry of Defence’s Future Commando Force program transforming Royal Marines into forward-deployed special operations force using new sensors, unmanned systems, and mobile ad hoc network

For Immediate Release

NEW YORK, N.Y.—May 11, 2023—Persistent Systems, LLC (“Persistent”) a leader in mobile ad hoc networking (MANET), announced today that it has so far received orders to supply over 1,000 MPU5 handheld networking radios to the UK Royal Marines in support of their transformative Future Commando Force program.

“The network is the foundation on which future technologies will be deployed,” said Eve Shapiro, Director of Business Development, International Team, at Persistent Systems. “Our MPU5’s will transport data from sensors and unmanned systems enabling small agile commando teams to exert a disproportionally large effect on the battlefield.”

The Android-loaded MPU5 runs the Wave Relay® MANET algorithm, enabling seamless and robust peer-to-peer sharing of voice, video, text, GPS location, and sensor data without requiring vulnerable base stations or external communications infrastructure, speeding up the tempo of military operations.

“This is key in light of the objectives set forth by the Future Commando Force program,” Shapiro said.

These restructured Royal Marines will serve in two new Littoral Response Groups (LRGs) and are busy taking on new equipment to reflect that role.

This gear includes new helmet cameras, hand-thrown unmanned aircraft and ground systems, rotary-wing drones for ISR and resupply, and MPU5s to provide the MANET that connects the troops, equipment, and command. Indeed, for the past few years, the Royal Marines have been experimenting with Persistent’s Wave Relay® MANET:

• The Royal Marines used MPU5s to great effect during the Green Dagger exercise, held in the Mojave Desert. During that exercise, the Royal Marines of the newly formed LRG (South) were part of a U.S. Marine force that performed well in multi-national wargames.

• And last December, the Royal Marines likewise used MPU5s during Musandam Fort, in Oman. According to the Royal Navy, “it was a test of new communications equipment—which are designed to create powerful, secure networks anywhere in the world.”

Delivery, training, and customer support to the Royal Marines will be provided by Steatite Ltd., Persistent’s UK based partner. Deliveries are already underway and will continue throughout 2023.

Persistent Systems officials say that they expect to see more purchases from the UK military and the wider European market. “When people see what you can do with an MPU5 MANET device, and what missions you can support, there will be increased demand for the technology,” Shapiro said.
