Logistik Unicorp’s hemp uniform fabric continues to move forward. Having proven it can be done, including printing, they have moved to improve the characteristics of the fabric including comfort and durability.
The plain weave fabric contains ~25% hemp and has a breaking strength of 900 N for both warp and weft.
The Blast Gauge System has been under development in conjunction with USSOCOM by Airboss Defense Group company Blackbox Biometrics.
The blast gauge measures over pressure which is indicated by a simple Red, Yellow, or Green LED indicator. It also transmits the data via Bluetooth to an Android app which also talks to TAK and can geographically depict where exposures have happened as well as how much has been accumulated, in total and by event. This is particularly important as we have learned that Soldiers are being exposed to overpressure during training as well as combat and the cumulative effect is particularly concerning. This data can lead to medical assessment as well as giving at risk Soldiers “rest breaks” from exposure during training.
Blast overpressure can lead to:
-Structural changes to the brain
-Increased PTSD
-Acceleration of age-associated neurological disorders
-Persistent concussion systems
Each Soldier is issued three which are worn on the helmet, upper torso and lower torso. The single battery lasts over three years in training and 1 year in combat conditions.

Carcajou also unveiled their as-yet-unnamed chest rig system at CANSEC.
Made from laser cut laminate, it can be configured in a variety of fashions.
If you subscribe to our newsletter, you’ve already seen the new Canadian military’s new ballistic helmet, the Batlskin Caiman from Galvion.
The new helmet is part of the Dismounted Infantry Capability Enhancement (DICE) program. Although it was initially to be fielded with two different helmet covers, DND wanted the initial showing of the helmet at CANSEC to showcase their new CADPAT Multi-Terrain pattern shown here.
Tulmar exhibited at last week’s CANSEC in Ottawa, showcasing their Galeo Next Generation Tactical Life Preserver as well as the new work they are doing with Sweden’s SAAB to manufacture their multispectral camouflage systems in North America.
