Innovative Textile Technology Enhances Thermal Signature Management for Military Protection

February 14th, 2024

Adlington, United Kingdom: Military fabrics manufacturer Carrington Textiles reveals a cutting-edge technology for the defence market called Stealth, designed to revolutionise thermal signature management via a highly conductive textile technology for superior thermal shielding in the battlefield.

Stealth is engineered with patented fabric technology that manages dynamic energy waves for mission critical security and protection, mitigating the thermal signature of a soldier from sensors used in the modern battlefield.

Stealth, created in collaboration with advanced materials company Noble Biomaterials, delivers broad-spectrum SWIR/MWIR/LWIR thermal signature management in a lightweight, durable fabric.

Stealth utilises Noble’s CIRCUITEX® SIGMA technology, which is designed to mitigate thermal detection in military environments.

Paul Farrell, Carrington Textiles Sales Director says: “Initial feedback from wearer trials of this pioneering concept in military field training exercises and in camp observation, concluded that with Stealth the thermal signature of a soldier was mitigated completely at different distances, with the material being near indistinguishable from the surrounding terrain, regardless of viewing angles.”

Noble Biomaterials’ Chief Commercial Officer, Joel Furey, adds: “Our patented CIRCUITEX technology is designed to protect soldiers and equipment from detection by advanced sensors. We are proud to provide allied war fighters an operational advantage in combat situations.”

The new Stealth concept will be exclusively showcased at Carrington Textiles’ stand at Enforce Tac 2024, taking place from 26th until 28th February at the Nüremberg Exhibition Centre in Germany, in hall 7, stand 340.

GPS-Denied Environment Technologies from OKSI

February 14th, 2024

The modern-day battlefield deploys platforms and systems that are heavily reliant on GPS signal. The proliferation of electronic warfare and GPS jamming in today’s conflicts create complexity, disrupting commonly used tactics and rending certain systems and munitions inoperable.

GPS-denied environments are one of our military’s most pressing technical topics, as DoD prioritizes the pursuit of battlefield solutions. From ground soldier situational awareness to UAS and loitering munitions, GPS has been a pillar for carrying out successful missions.

OKSI’s OMNISCIENCE Ecosystem of navigation and targeting algorithms is an integration-ready software stack for UAS/UAVs. We can provide visual-based navigation that delivers absolute position updates, RF-denied autonomous mission capability, and Cat I/II target geo-locating within GPS-denied environments.

Blue Force Gear Limited Edition – VCAS Tiger Stripe Sling

February 14th, 2024

Introducing the Limited Edition VCAS GTS Sling – a fusion of a historical camo pattern with an iconic weapon sling design. This exclusive two-point, quick-adjustment sling in GTS (Green Tiger Stripe) pattern is brought to you by TFBTV host, James Reeves, and Blue Force Gear. “Tiger Stripe is a functional and interesting pattern, which also happens to be timeless.”, stated Reeves, while attending SHOT Show 2024. “…aesthetically pleasing camo in spite of the fact that it was never formally adopted by the US military.”

Reeves also adds a dose of history here, “…It was so effective that military advisors and special operations units in Vietnam, sourced the pattern locally and unofficially adopted it themselves.” Talk about resourcefulness.

“In that way, the pattern is itself an homage to ingenuity and improvisation. When I approached BFG about making the Vickers sling in the pattern, it was because the origins of Tiger Stripe are in alignment with BFG’s philosophy- Always Better. Plus, I selfishly wanted the best sling in the world, in one of the best camo patterns ever devised.” -James Reeves, TFBTV.

Only available at blueforcegear.com and by subscribing to the email notice of their release, there are limited quantities, so get them while you can. 500 are being produced in VCAS and VCAS push button slings. Take advantage and own a tribute piece of military history, blending the legacy of the Green Tiger Stripe pattern, with the renowned Vickers Sling.

Enforce Tac 2024: Still a Key Player in the Industry

February 14th, 2024

Enforce Tac, the exhibition for members of security agencies and the armed forces, is investing heavily in the visitor experience during the upcoming event from 26 to 28 February 2024, while maintaining a clear focus on internal and external security.

Enforce Tac bolsters commitment to security and cooperation: Scandinavian-German Defence Symposium launches at Enforce Tac 2024

The team headed by Exhibition Director Isabelle Teufert has announced another premiere for Enforce Tac 2024. “We keep a close eye on developments within the industry and adapt to new needs by developing pragmatic solutions,” explains Teufert. “In this case, we are focussing on international procurement processes, especially between Scandinavia and Germany, in line with the current increased procurement needs.”

Norway and Germany currently have one of the largest partnerships for defence and economic projects in Europe. At the same time, NATO is welcoming Sweden and Finland, which further strengthens the alliance. These developments are enough to underpin the thematic focus set for Enforce Tac 2024 in collaboration with initiators David Faller (Solid Ground) and Dr. Christian Wildhagen (Nordisk Konsult).

In addition to Faller and Wildhagen, stakeholders from the German Armed Forces Planning Office, the International Chamber of Commerce Norway, MIDSEC Norge and the Federation of German Security and Defence Industries (BDSV) will also be in attendance.

“The aim of the symposium is to promote and intensify closer relationships, provide insights into the future requirements of the armed forces, highlight challenges and explore opportunities for cooperation in procurement processes,” Teufert concludes, emphasising the central importance of the event and the Enforce Tac 2024 platform for the industry.

Enforce Tac 2024: 9,000 visitors expected

“The number of exhibitor enquiries remains at a high level. Halls 7A and 7 are fully booked,” says Thomas Mahler, Sales Manager of Enforce Tac, reflecting on current sales. Visitors can therefore look forward to an unprecedented variety of exhibitors. The highly specialized products and services offered by the 680 exhibitors already registered for 2024 (2023: 544) will be complemented by the multifaceted supporting programme at this year’s Enforce Tac. In addition to the Enforce Tac VILLAGE, Enforce Tac TV and the Enforce Tac BLACKBOX, Enforce Tac 2024 has a whole raft of high-quality items on its programme.

Giving former special forces soldiers a stage

For the entire duration of Enforce Tac 2024, a book presentation for “Under the Sword: 15 Years in Special Forces Command” by former Special Forces Command soldier Christian Gerstner will be held in Hall 8. In this book, Gerstner describes his experiences from 15 years in Special Forces Command and his transformation from soldier to warrior.

Meet & Greet with Dom from FLASHBANG Magazine

Published quarterly, FLASHBANG Magazine is known for showcasing exclusive and never-before-seen photos. While society tends to highlight its heroes through the sensationalism of film stars and athletes, the dangerous missions of our special forces around the world mostly take place out of the media spotlight and under the radar of society’s attention. Dom, author, photographer and editor of the magazine, will be available for a meet-and-greet throughout the event in the walkway area of Hall 7A.

German Police University DHPol organizes “Weapons and protective equipment” conference

At the conference for weapons and protective equipment, users can find out about new developments in equipment and handling service weapons. DHPol is organizing an all-day event

on this theme in the Sydney Room, NCC Ost, on the second day of the event.

Enforce Tac exhibitor evening

“We want to offer our industry a suitable platform to develop promising prospects and jointly strengthen the internal and external security of Germany and Europe – with enough time for dialogue and sufficient space for the growing range of exhibitors,” Teufert asserts. “Of course, an exhibitor evening with good food, drinks and discussions is a must,” she concludes.

This year’s exhibitor evening will take place on level 3 of NCC Ost from 18:00 on the second day of the event, with the theme of “Noche Cubana”.
