Revision Eyewear Introduces Ballistic Sunglass; the Hellfly Revision Eyewear, developers of purpose-built military eyewear, has fused the demand for sleek, comfortable eyewear with unrivaled ballistic protection. The Hellfly Ballistic Sunglass protects the wearer's eyes from dangerous fragments, as well as day-to-day environmental elements. Hellfly exceeds the US Military's stringent high-impact requirement for spectacles, as well as the ANSI Z87.1 standard for impact and optics."The Hellfly ballistic sunglass is the answer that many soldiers, law enforcement officers, and individuals working or recreating in potentially dangerous situations, have been looking for," Jonathan Blanshay, CEO of Revision Eyewear commented. "To have military grade eye protection that performs on three levels - high-impact fragment protection, excellent optical performance and 100% UV protection - packaged in a stylish, comfortable and lightweight design is most appealing for service people in the line of duty as well as recreational enthusiasts."The Hellfly sunglass lenses feature a variety of silicate and titanium dioxide coatings to suit any operation under any light condition and provide ultra sharp visual contrast along with great style. The hard coated lenses are made of the toughest optical polycarbonate to ensure visual clarity with 100% UV protection while providing maximum scratch resistance. The wrap-around design allows for a wide field-of-view while protecting the wearer from harmful rays, wind, dust and unexpected fragments. The Hellfly fits comfortably for all-day wear with an adjustable nose-piece, ultra-thin arms that fit under helmets or hats without causing pressure points, and rubberized over-molding on the temple area for comfort as well as stability during strenuous activity. Weighing only 1 oz., the low profile Hellfly Sunglass comes in eight frame and lens color options each with its own rugged case and microfiber cleaning cloth. MSRP for the new Revision Hellfly Ballistic Sunglass is US$99.99. Launching at the Shot Show with availability in early February. army-technology.com |
Bruker Daltonics Bruker Daltonics is the only supplier that covers the complete range of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear detection. The product line supports all possible scenarios for the detection of hazardous agents, and includes handheld pointdetectors and detection systems for reconnaissance vehicles, shipboard or stationary use.Bruker Daltonics has over two decades of experience in the development, engineering and manufacturing of sensitive, easy-to-use and military hardened chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear analytical systems, and is ISO9001 certified.Bruker offers a wide product range that includes Mass Spectrometers (MS), Ion Mobility Spectrometers (IMS) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Bruker CBRN equipment is in service with navies, armies and civil defence organisationsworldwide.RAID SERIES CWA AND TIC DETECTORSThe RAID series of chemical monitors covers multiple CWA and TIC detection tasks. The portable RAID-M 100 CWA and TIC detector is equipped with a data-logging system and provides very low detection limits. The innovative RAID-XP detectorcombines chemical and radiological detection into one system.Bruker Daltonics has also recently launched two new RAID chemical agent detectors. The RAID-AFM (Automated Facility Monitor) detector is a gas trace detector used for the detection of TICs and CWAs. The RAID-AFM is especially designed forcritical infrastructure and facilities monitoring.The RAID-S2 detector is a hardened version of the proven RAID-S CWA and TIC detector, and is designed for all classes of naval vessels. Both systems are suitable for fixed installation.RAPID MOBILE INFRARED CHEMICAL DETECTORThe RAPID mobile infrared chemical detector provides real-time remote sensing and tomography of chemical agent clouds over a distance of several kilometres.MM SERIES GC / MS CHEMICAL RECONNAISSANCE AND SURVEY SYSTEMSThe MM Series is a range of extremely rugged and field-proven mobile GC / MS chemical reconnaissance and survey systems. The MM1 has become the workhorse for chemical reconnaissance and survey, while the lightweight design of the new MM2 sets amilestone in technology.BIOLOGICAL WARFARE AGENT DETECTORSBruker Daltonics supplies two biological warfare agent detectors. The CBMS biological warfare agent is a rugged military mobile ion-trap mass spectrometer for the detection and classification of biological warfare agents.BioProfiler software has been developed to detect microbial threat agents in minutes, based on the bacteria's characteristic fingerprints generated from MALDI-TOF mass spectrometers.SVG2 RADIOLOGICAL AND NUCLEAR DETECTORSThe SVG2 radiological and nuclear detector is used for mobile alpha-beta-gamma detection and has references worldwide.New handheld probes significantly enhance the performance of the SVG2 radiological and nuclear detector.The ergonomically designed CP170 surface contamination probe enables measurement of very low activities on surfaces. Alpha, beta and gamma contamination can be measured with a detection area of 170cm². Calibration factors for 11 nuclidesallow accurate measurements of surface contamination in Bq/cm².The highly sensitive SP45 gamma contamination detector is specially designed for measurements of low level gamma dose rates and the search of low activity radiation sources. The SP45 gamma contamination detector enables the detection of gammacontamination with a high degree of sensitivity.HAZARDOUS COMPOUND, EXPLOSIVE AND CWA DETECTORSEM 640S and EM640 mobile mass spectrometers provide fast on-site detection of hazardous compounds and CWAs from air, soil and liquids.The NIGAS explosive and CWA detector supplies automated, non-invasive detection of explosives and chemical warfare agents in ammunition, using neutron activation analysis with a non-radioactive source. Fully transportable, the NIGAS explosive and CWA detector can be used under field conditions.Unknown compounds are identified by determining the elemental composition of the sample. Spectrum analysis and substance identification are performed automatically. army-technology.com |
