TNVC Announces Discontinuation of Stocking Filmed Green Phosphor Binocular Night Vision Systems

May 2nd, 2024

Redlands, California—

Tactical Night Vision Company (TNVC, INC.) announced today that they will discontinue the normal stocking of Filmed Green Phosphor Binocular Night Vision systems and divest their current inventory and fully transition to both Filmed and Unfilmed White Phosphor systems for dual tube night vision devices. Filmed Green Phosphor will still be offered as an option for the TN/PVS-14 Monocular Night Vision Device for entry-level systems. Both Filmed and Unfilmed Green Phosphor binocular systems will still be available for special order upon request, however, they may experience extended lead times.

“Over the past decade or so since the mainstream operational introduction of White Phosphor image intensifiers, we’ve found that end users, whether organizational or private increasingly and almost universally prefer white phosphor goggles to green phosphor,” states TNVC COO, Augee Kim, adding: “While the ‘green screen’ NVG will always be classic and iconic, removing Filmed Green image intensifiers from our binocular NVG product line will allow us to streamline our supply lines and increase efficiencies, particularly as we begin to integrate exciting new technologies and embark on new partnerships as well as developing existing ones to further improve our product line and continue to offer the highest quality, most advanced products to all of our customers, both government and especially private consumers.”

The discontinuation and divestiture of new, stocking Green Phosphor binocular systems will have no affect on existing units and warranties, which will continue to be supported in accordance with TNVC’s Lifetime Limited Warranty program, and users with specific requirements will still be able to obtain filmed green systems via special order if desired.

In support of this divestiture, TNVC will be liquidating all remaining stocks of filmed green image intensifiers and complete night vision systems. These systems will be offered as complete units (no build-to-order) with full warranty support and consistent with TNVC’s high standards of quality for all of their TNV-units, but at a significant discount via TNVC’s website:

tnvc.com/crazy-vics-discount-night-vision-emporium

“We figured that while we were making this transition, we may as well give customers the opportunity to get into an extremely high-quality night vision device, using true, Gen. 3, U.S. MIL-SPEC ground tubes at some of the best prices out there, comparable to what folks are paying for Gen. 2 and blemished devices,” notes Victor DiCosola, TNVC Founder and CEO, adding with a chuckle and wink: “So I decided while my staff is figuring out our new product lines and partnerships, I would set up a ‘pop-up,’ Crazy Vic’s Discount Night Vision Emporium.”

More details on the green phosphor liquidation and Crazy Vic’s pop-up can be found on TNVC’s Instagram page:

Electronic Warfare Planning and Management Tool (EWPMT) Contract Cancellation

May 2nd, 2024

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, MD – The U.S. Army recently announced the cancellation of the Electronic Warfare Planning and Management Tool (EWPMT) task order competition under the RS3 Enterprise contract. The decision was prompted by evolving requirements and a strategic realignment within the program.

As part of this realignment moving forward, the U.S. Army continues to prioritize its service specific EWPMT fielding of current capability and will also focus on EWPMT software architecture modernization. Program Executive Office – Intelligence, Electronic Warfare, and Sensors (PEO IEW&S) is working on a pilot as part of the architecture modernization in collaboration with the United States Marine Corps (USMC), shifting EWPMT’s electromagnetic warfare and spectrum management capabilities to the Tactical Assault Kit (TAK) framework. This effort is being led by the Electronic Warfare Integration (EWI) product management office.

TAK-X is a framework on which applications for presenting situational awareness data and geospatial visualizations can be built. Transition to the TAK framework is consistent with ongoing efforts to deliver capability at speed by leveraging common technologies across the Services with a similar user experience. The TAK user community collaborates across the EW user space and presents opportunities for technology advancement and integration across the U.S. Army, Marine Corps, Air Force, Special Operations Command, and the Joint Communities of Interest.

This strategic move aims to ensure that EWPMT is a relevant capability at the forefront of emerging operational requirements. The results of the U.S. Army-USMC collaboration on the TAK-X foundation will provide for microservice-based, modular software architecture satisfying Joint and individual Service requirements. It will enable agile development, integration, and ability to rapidly adjust to evolving operational requirements.

The initial releases of the modernized architecture, EWPMT-X, will be piloted and demonstrated over the next year to gain EW operator feedback. If the pilot effort proves successful, EWPMT-X will replace the current version of EWPMT in Fiscal Year 2026, ushering in a new era of Joint electronic warfare and spectrum management capabilities.

The U.S. Army program office is assessing future contract efforts based on operational and support requirements. Updates on future contract opportunities will be released via SAM.gov and PEO IEW&S – hosted Acquisition Lead Time (ALT) Industry events.

G9 Defense 6.5 Creedmoor 120gr Solid Copper Super Match

May 1st, 2024

Post Falls, ID. – (April 24th, 2024) – G9 Defense premium defensive ammunition, is pleased to announce new 6.5 Creedmoor 120gr Solid Copper Super Match ammunition with ALPHA Brass. G9 Super Match technology is used in rifle projectiles intended for target, competition, and training applications.

The new G9 Defense 6.5 Creedmoor 120gr Solid Copper Super Match with ALPHA Brass utilizes high muzzle velocities and high ballistic coefficients to achieve shorter times of flight, flatter trajectories, and less wind drift compared to other match bullets on the market. G9 Super Match rounds take a shooter’s long-range capability to the next level.

The new 6.5 Super Match’s advancements in internal ballistics come from patented side geometry that allow for less friction in the barrel, resulting in faster muzzle velocities at SAAMI standard pressures and lower barrel temperature during a firing string. These properties are enhanced by metallurgy selectionthe of all copper G9 Super Match bullets. The projectile features multiple bands machined into its side, which decreases bearing surface and pressures without diminishing ballistic coefficient. Combining these design benefits with the most rigorous load development and testing standards, G9 offers rounds with high muzzle velocities while maintaining extremely low standard deviations.

This new bullet is an all machine-turned solid copper or brass projectile that offers significant improvement in consistency over traditional jacketed lead bullets, which often have minor inconsistencies in density. By machine turning the projectiles G9 produces a round with a lower standard deviation of ballistic coefficient than any other method of production. At extended ranges, a low standard deviation in BC is more meaningful than standard deviation in muzzle velocity, resulting in higher accuracy at extended ranges.

Alpha Munitions shares a kindred spirit with G9 Defense: the eternal pursuit of ballistic perfection. Their Optimized Case Head Design (OCD) far exceeds performance standards typically associated with cases. Their innovative technology is combined with industry-leading manufacturing standards and the result is second-to-none. Their elevated level of performance, combined with uncanny consistency, makes their brass the obvious match for G9’s 6.5 Creedmoor brass projectile line. Expect single digit standard deviations and next level accuracy. Learn more about Alpha Munitions at www.alphamunitions.com

6.5 Creedmoor 120 grain Super Match Specifications:

– Caliber: 6.5 Creedmoor

– Bullet: 120gr Copper Super Match

– G1 BC: .625

– Velocity: 2950 fps

– Recommended Twist Rate: 1:8 or faster

– Packaging: 200-round case, 20-count box

MSRP: $45.99

MDM 24 – Brunton Announces Lensatic Compass

May 1st, 2024

Brunton has been making compasses since 1894 but they’ve never offered a mil-spec, tritium-filled compass, until now.

Coming in 2025, their new Lensatic Compass features a needle which settles 30% faster than the current compass and a durable bezel which will continue to click throughout the life of the compass.

Although their pouch is similar to the current issue model, which is based on an M-1956 design, carried on through ALICE, this new version is PALS compatible.

On a final note, although it has been in Montana for over half a century, Brunton was owned by various Scandinavian businesses for many years. About two years ago, Brunton became a woman-owned, geologist-owned, family small business.
