FirstSpear: US Navy Maritime Plate Carrier

By | New Products, News Releases | No Comments

With the growing number of maritime assault engagements, the need for buoyant, ballistic plate carriers is becoming a “must have” in the maritime community. FirstSpear™ has made use of several decades of acquired operational experience in maritime operations to develop a complete kit for utilization of a ballistic armor plate carrier in an operational maritime profile.

There are multiple factors to consider when developing equipment for the maritime assault mission. In addition to the usual threats posed by a hostile environment, operators must also take in to account the risks of drowning and hypothermia. When addressing the requirements posed by the U.S. Navy, FirstSpear™ analyzed the needs and mission requirements from multiple angles to offer true maritime-integrated capabilities.

The result is a highly water-resistant ballistic plate carrier composed of lightweight materials that are easy to wear and adjust. This system offers full flexibility and enhanced safety for operations in the maritime environment. The carrier addresses the drowning issue with buoyancy compensation inserts that help maintain a slightly neutral capability while transporting a basic equipment load. Utilizing the latest in FirstSpear™ technologies, including the 6/12™ pocket attachment system and TUBES™, this is a state of the art capability designed to support maritime assault operations.

FirstSpear‘s™ core mission is to support the people that risk everything for our country and freedoms. What is integrated into the FirstSpear™ line is reflective of constant dialogue with users that are on the very tip of the spear. FirstSpear™ achieves this relationship by putting complete focus on the end-user’s needs and their overarching requirements. Each subcomponent of the overall system integrates field feedback from concept development, through rapid prototyping and ultimately production and delivery. Impact to the overall weight, form, function and durability is considered in every detail down to fabric and hardware selection.

ADS is proud to partner with FirstSpear™. They have created hundreds of new products, designed to cater to the needs of our specialized customers, and they share our core value of putting the operator’s mission first. Their products provides a solution that addresses a much-needed capability by developing equipment that is lighter and more capable without sacrificing durability and function. In a nutshell, if you want the best in lethality and survivability, you can count on FirstSpear™ to get it done.

Manta: Touch it, You’ll love it!

By | Industry News, New Products | No Comments

The U.S. Marine Corps selected Manta products as “standard issue” for the new M-27 infantry automatic rifle. Manta’s revolutionary material and cutting-edge designs have been recognized by and issued to military around the world for its ability to increase weapons’ operational effectiveness.

Manta’s heat-mitigating, “rubber-like” materials are manufactured from proprietary formulas that in some applications can withstand temperatures in excess of 1000’F and simply will not melt! This material doesn’t just provide a layer of cool between you and your blazing hot firearm or suppressor- it is multi-functional, ultra grip-able, and nearly indestructible.

Heat divergent segments, convection channels, Micro Pocket technology and an internal stainless steel skeleton all play their role in creating a weapon accessory system unlike anything else. Manta creates a thermal barrier, routes and installs accessory wires and switches in seconds and protects you and your gear from the hazards that plague weapon systems.

Increasing weapon capabilities and improving and operator’s experience is what Manta is about. Additionally, everything that goes into all Manta products including all manufacturing and materials are USA made – literally EVERYTHING.

ADS looks forward to continue educating and supplying our end-users with quality products from Manta.  To learn more about our Weapon and Optics Solutions and to order a catalog please see below or click HERE.  Be sure to check out the links below and the Manta website to learn more about their products!

What the Heck is SMS!?

By | Industry News, New Products | No Comments

In late 2013, ADS restructured our sales and business development teams to align more closely with the way our DOD customers classify their missions and areas of responsibility to provide better overall support for their requirements. Six teams were created to focus on developing more targeted solutions portfolios – Organizational Clothing & Individual Equipment (OCIE), Medical, Combat Support Equipment (CSE), C4ISR, Weapons & Optics, and last but not least, SMS.

The first five categories are fairly well known, but what about the sixth? What exactly is SMS? Among others, we’ve heard “Specialty Mission Stuff”, “Specialized Mission Support”, and even “I don’t remember what it stands for, but they handle everything else”. While these attempts to define SMS always garner a laugh and serve as an invitation for our SMS team to break out their elevator brief, it also means we haven’t done a good enough job educating people outside of the company. The breakdown below will help to clear things up.

SMS = “Special Missions Solutions”.  Our SMS Team is focused on supporting customers whose missions require unique and specialized capabilities, including:

First Responders

Think Fire & Emergency Services and disaster response. We provide solutions ranging from turnout gear, respiratory protection, and gas detection, to gear washers and dryers.  Additional solutions include storage, thermal imaging, extrication, rescue, and breaching equipment. We also offer training services such as recertification courses as well as the equipment and aids required to support our customers ongoing readiness efforts.

Maritime & Dive

Rooted in the diving community, ADS was founded as an offshoot of Lynnhaven Dive Center in Virginia Beach. Our first customers were Navy Seals who required supplemental dive gear for their mission. For more than a decade, we have continued this tradition and expanded our diving and maritime portfolio to include apparel, equipment, compressors, underwater communications, unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs), subsea equipment such as lifting bags, watercraft, and maritime motors.

Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, & Explosive (CBRNE)

Three words: Detection, Protection, and Decontamination. Threat detection and identification tools, personal protective apparel and equipment, a wide variety of solid and liquid decontamination systems, as well as training equipment – If your mission involves CBRNE threats, ADS has all the solutions your readiness requires.

Counter Weapons of Mass Destruction (CWMD) & Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD)

This category includes solutions required to locate, identify, evaluate, render safe, recover, and dispose of CBRNE ordinance and devices.

Robotics

ADS is at the forefront of providing robotics solutions to DOD, federal agencies, and law enforcement.  As robotics technology advances, new and innovative capabilities are being developed that significantly reduce loss of life, mitigate threats to first responders and warfighters, and make their missions dramatically safer.  In many cases, robots can take the place of humans in dangerous environments which is why the military has incorporated robots into virtually every aspect of combat operations.

Now you know! If you have requirements that fall into these categories – ADS has a team dedicated to your mission. To learn more about how we can help support your SMS mission, grab a copy of our new Special Missions Catalog or learn more here.

Cutting Edge Area Disinfection Technology

By | New Products | No Comments

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.
