Thursday, October 24th, 2013Activision Selects Ghostex Camouflage for “Call of Duty: Black Ops 2”
Tuesday, November 13th, 2012Activision Publishing, Inc, has selected Ghostex camouflage patterns for use in “Call of Duty: Black Ops II.” As you will recall Ghostex is a Hyperstealth/ADS Inc joint venture that has been providing specialized camouflage development and print-on-demand solutions for specialized customers since 2010. A few of the patterns have been released to the public including the Delta-6 pattern seen below which will be included in the game.
The web has been abuzz with chatter about specialty camouflage patterns that can be unlocked during game play and Ghostex is it. Notice I said patterns with an “S” meaning I’d expect to see additional Ghostex variants show up in the game. www.ghostex.com
Afghan Border Police Adopt Ghostex Pattern
Wednesday, October 19th, 2011HyperStealth Biotechnology Corporation has announced that the Afghanistan Border Police (ABP), an elite division of the Afghanistan National Police (ANP) with a strength of around 20,000 has authorized the Ghostex Kilo-1 pattern as their new uniform camouflage.
You may notice that the pattern looks complimentary to the Operation Enduring Freedom Camouflage Pattern (OCP) currently used in Afghanistan by the US Army and Air Force. This is because the US Government stipulated that the new ABP pattern must have similar coloration but yet be distinctively different. This is so that the forces could work in concert during operations but would not be mistaken for one another in close proximity. Based on this requirement, HyperStealth was able to offer three different patterns from the Ghostex line the same day the request came in.
A Purchase Order has been issued and the first 12,000 yards of fabric has been already been printed. The fabric is milled and printed in the US and then sent to Afghanistan for assembly by Afghanistan citizens working for Afghanistan companies.
This is not the first time HyperStealth has worked with the Afghanis. In 2009, the Afghanistan National Army (ANA) chose Hyperstealth’s Spec4ce Afghan Forest pattern for their uniforms.
Ghostex is a joint venture between ADS Inc and Canada-based HyperStealth Biotechnology Corporation.

Countdown to End of the Fiscal Year
Tuesday, September 28th, 2010
ADS has included a countdown clock for the impending end of the fiscal year. This is a great reminder to get your ducks in order and figure out what you want to obligate your end of year funds for. Don’t waste it all on 10,000 rolls of toilet paper, or 500 paddle locks because that is all they have left at SSSC. Many vendors are open late and will help make sure you get what you need instead of what is left on the shelf.
In fact, Tactical Tailor will have staff on hand to fill phone orders until Midnight on 30 September. Don’t think that they are only accepting military orders either. Federal agencies as well as state and local folks finish the year on the 30th. Individuals are welcome to order as well. Just call them at (253) 984-7854.
Last but not least, if you are in the market for quality MultiCam (or Coyote and OD for that matter) clothing systems as well as shelters and poncho liners then make sure you contact our friends at Wild Things. They are open late this week to accommodate your last minute shopping requirements.
ADS Supports Soldiers to the Summit 
Tuesday, September 21st, 2010
ADS Inc has donated C.L.S. Protective Combat Uniforms (PCU) by Beyond Tactical for use on the ascent of Lobuche East in the Himalayas. The climb by 12 wounded warriors is being put on by soldierstothesummit.org. ADS will have additional updates as the climb progresses from October 2 – October 21, 2010.
“ADS is committed to supporting our wounded warriors in all facets of their rehabilitation and we also pride ourselves on our expertise in cold weather clothing systems.†said Luke Hillier, ADS CEO. “Nothing could be more fitting than combining our passion for supporting our wounded warriors and our expertise in technical clothing systems to support these brave men and women on their road to recovery.â€
Additionally, ADS is individually sponsoring Cody Miranda, one of the combat veteran climbers. Medically retired from the U.S. Marine Corps, Cody suffers from Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). He spent 18 years in the Marine Corps on seven deployments including Operation Desert Storm and Operation Enduring/Iraqi Freedom.

Warrior Expo East Recap
Friday, August 13th, 2010For those of you that missed the Warrior Expo East presented by ADS, the video will give you an idea of what it was like. The event was simply fantastic. You have already seen a few of the surprises that were unveiled at the show and we can assure you that more are on their way, including a major announcement from ADS. Additionally, are looking forward to introducing our readers to new subjects such as Maintenance and Recovery Operations.
We spoke with most of the vendors and the general feeling was very positive. While some related that it could be months before they see any orders based on the meetings they had at the show, everyone agreed that they would see an increase in business.
On the other hand, attendees were very positive about not only the access to the latest technologies and equipment but also the seminars and demonstrations that were part of the program. The real key to this success is that these events combine users with requirements with vendors who provide a variety of solutions. Add to this ADS’s access to several procurement vehicles and you’ve got the trifecta. It’s hard to get all of these ingredients together and they have succeeded.
Make sure you don’t miss next year’s event. And if you can’t make it, keep an eye out for a regional show coming soon to your installation. Until then, be sure to visit the ADS Youtube channel to see all of the Warrior Expo videos.
Stealth Flipfins
Thursday, July 22nd, 2010
It has been over two years since we wrote about the Flipfin product from Omega Aquatics. Since then they have attracted the attention of military divers and swimmers and have developed the Stealth model specifically for this community. We were fortunate to check out this new model last week at the Warrior Expo – East. They still do the same job, propulsion in the water with the blade down but accommodate mobility when dry or moving through surf with the blades in the up position. The big difference is that this model was designed specifically for military use and features a large foot pocket for boots as well as being neutrally buoyant.
Offered in Black as well as Orange, the Stealth Flipfins are available from ADS or from www.flipfins.com.
