As part of our holiday gift giving efforts, ADS employees held a snack drive to collect items to be donated to the USO Center at Norfolk International Airport. We also sent some of our own “little elves” to deliver our donations.  The USO is expecting more than 4,000 troops and their families to come through their center and we hope this helps keep them stocked with food during this busy time of year.

Cascade DesignsWe also want to thank our friends at Cascade Designs for donating air mattresses to be used by service members and their families who may be stuck at the airport.

Imagine yourself operating in a hostile environment, able to gain a bird’s eye view of your environment without alerting potential enemies to your presence. ADS and our partner, Prox Dynamics make that capability a reality today! Prox Dynamics and ADS have teamed together to provide a game changing capability to war fighter, law enforcement, and emergency response agencies using agile contracts. The PD-100 Personal Reconnaissance System is a pocket sized system that provides real-time live motion video back to the operator. This allows the operator to get situational awareness from a safe distance. In the battlefield, this system provides today’s networked warrior immediate situational awareness to successfully execute dismounted operations. Prox Dynamics was founded in 2007 in Norway, doubled in size in 2009, and then formed Prox Dynamics USA Inc. in early 2014. Building on their years of experience in micro helicopter technology and teleconferencing, Prox Dynamics set priorities to enhance tools for modern militaries. Mindful of the heavy load soldiers bear, Prox Dynamics developed a “Cargo Pocket” sized unmanned aircraft system. Prox Dynamics and ADS share a goal of delivering optimal and functional products that meet the operators’ requirement, budget, and schedule. Prox Dynamics’ core mission is to field the world’s smallest and most advanced unmanned aircraft systems. ADS’s purpose is our customers’ mission – we enable mission success by determining solutions to key operational shortfalls, then providing those solutions via contractual vehicles that deliver in relevant timelines.

Delafield Solutions – PHP Systems

These days biological threats exist all around us. Between the recent Ebola outbreak in West Africa and the danger it presents now that we’ve had confirmed cases back on US soil, and the onset of winter bringing the cold/flu season upon us, there’s plenty of reasons to wish we could just live our lives in a sterile bubble.

Since that’s just not feasible, let us introduce you to Delafield Solutions’ PHP Technology.

Pure Hydrogen Peroxide (PHP) Systems provide safe, hands-off, set it and forget it continuous area disinfection through a unique process utilizing a dilute concentration of hydrogen peroxide in pure gas form to attack the viruses, bacteria, and molds that commonly cause illnesses ranging from the flu to deadly hospital-acquired infections. Case studies show PHP Systems have provided industry-leading reductions in bacteria (95%), fungi (92%), and environmental mold (93%) in existing deployment sites. Hospital ICU studies showed 88.5% total reduction in harmful bacteria, including pseudomonas and Acinetobacter.

Delafield PHP Systems are offered in both a standalone modular configuration, as well as an HVAC-paired system, ensuring they’ve got dispersion vehicle fit for any deployment site. This makes it easy to minimize the germs, viruses, and mold in your environment, whether on a ship or submarine, in a soft-walled structure in West Africa, or maintaining your equipment at the depot back home.

PHP TECHNOLOGY BENEFITS: 

  • Continuously Kills Viruses & Bacteria – Not only what’s in the room when you turn it on, but whatever comes through the door from that point forward as well. Healthy coworkers are happier & more productive. They also cost less.
  • Mold Prevention & Inhibition – If you work in a wet/humid climate, you know firsthand the struggle that is mold and mildew. Mold = Equipment that has to be repaired/replaced early, and again, sick personnel that could have been prevented.
  • Suppression of Odors & Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) – Pretty Self-explanatory. The less you have floating around in the air, stinking up the place and making you feel lighter than air, the better.
  • Companionship– I mean really, who wouldn’t enjoy a little germ-killing machine covering your six 24/7, allowing you to focus on your mission and not tracking down another box of tissues.

Featured products from Mobile Shelter Systems (MSS)

After brainstorming and setting a strategic plan with Mobile Shelter Systems (MSS), ADS and MSS look forward to combing the waters in 2015 by taking their partnership to new heights. The ADS Combat Support Equipment Focused Sales Initiative (FSI) will showcase MSS “Shark Cage” feature products, which will support missions to solve several of the challenges faced by the DOD today.

Two specific problems faced by all of the DOD verticals are wheel storage and transport, and the need for intermodal storage solutions (Storage, Transport, Transition, Operate and back to Storage). These are just a few of the areas with which ADS and MSS will partner to support the warfighter.

MSS, formed in 1998, has proudly been suppling storage solutions to the U.S. Military for the past 16 years.  The mission of MSS is to provide high quality mobile storage solutions that radically improve operational efficiency, personnel safety and material security, while leveraging existing military infrastructure. MSS utilizes its technology, knowledge and high quality production system to develop custom solutions, where an off-the-shelf product is not adequate.

The SharkCage product line key concept is focused on four major categories for seamless integration and transition. These categories include Container Inserts, Tactical Lockers, Rack Systems and Content Specific products. All of these product are designed for Storage, Transport and Tactical Operations. Listed below is a video and details on the SharkCage Container Warehouse.

On Veterans Day we honor the men and women who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces. These brave soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines are true heroes who sacrificed so much to serve our country and to protect freedom and liberty. ADS is honored and privileged to support these brave men and women through our work with many veteran-focused organizations in our local community and throughout the country. We are also extremely proud of our own history of employing military veterans. These brave men an women are the backbone of our company¹s culture and bring true perspective to our work every day with those who still serve.

If you are like us, you know at least one person who has served. Please take a moment to thank them for all that they have sacrificed and accomplished for this great nation.

“It is the soldier, not the reporter, Who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, Who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the organizer, Who gave us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, Who salutes the flag, Who serves beneath the flag. And whose coffin is draped by the flag, Who allows the protester to burn the flag.”
-Father Dennis Edward O’Brien, USMC
