BE Meyers GLARE Enforcer Approved by FDA – See It At Warrior Expo East

Friday, July 6th, 2012

GLARE Enforcer

It’s official. The BE Meyers GLARE Enforcer is the only non-lethal laser to receive an FDA variance for Law Enforcement use. Obviously, this is a major announcement. Now, domestic law enforcement agencies have a safe, yet effective non-lethal tool to allow land and maritime-based personnel to identify and if needed, deter unsafe vehicles and craft from entering their space from standoff distances of up to 2km. It uses Eye Safe technology which automatically adjusts the output power depending on target distance, delivering its maximum permissible power at all times while maintaining the safety of the intended target and all nearby personnel against accidental eye injury.

Are Digital Pixel Camouflage Patterns Ineffective?

Thursday, July 5th, 2012

In a just published essay entitled, “Are Digital Pixel Camouflage Patterns Ineffective?” Guy Cramer, CEO of Hyperstealth Biotechnology Corp takes on the recent meme that imagines all pixelated camo is bad because the US Army’s Universal Camouflage Pattern is anything but.

While Mr Cramer takes a stab at it as well, I’d like to remind our readers that it’s foolish to throw the baby out with the bath water. UCP’s geometry is based on the highly successful Marine Patterns (MARPAT) which is a derivative of the Canadian Pattern (CADPAT). The exact same geometry is also shared with the US Navy’s AOR patterns. It’s about coloration, and in the case of UCP they got it wrong.

Guy Cramer believes in the effectiveness of pixelated patterns so much that the submission he developed with ADS Inc is based on the technology but with some more advanced enhancements. Read Cramer’s Essay here – www.hyperstealth.com/pixel-camo-is-effective

Army Places Order For iRobot Unmanned Ground Vehicles

Monday, July 2nd, 2012

Early last month, iRobot Corp received a $12.7 million order from Army Contracting Command for 68 model 310 SUGV robots and spares kits with the delivery completed by next month. This is the second order under a IDIQ contract that is valid through September 2015. So far, the Army has taken delivery of 138 robots and spares kits. IDIQ contracts can be tricky with lofty ceilings and actual orders turning out to be a fraction of the full value. Literally, this is an off-the-shelf purchase and it’s a testament to iRobot’s confidence in this system to deliver so quickly. These are complicated systems and you don’t let them sit on the shelf if they aren’t going to sell.

Many are familiar with the model 510 Packbot used by EOD. The 310 is slightly smaller and fits in a MOLLE pack.
It runs for up to 6 hours using 2 x BB-2590/U batteries (or 1.5 hours with 2 BB-2557/U batteries). The 4 built-in cameras include 1 with 40x zoom and IR and white light illumination for low-light and no-light operations. It also features a dextrous arm that is controlled by a standard Xbox 360 controller making training easy for many operators.

Overall, iRobot has delivered over 4,500 UGVs woldwide including over 600 of the 310 model.

iRobot products are available to units and agencies who are not covered under this IDIQ contract through ADS Inc.
