They were based in Australia with some offices here in the DC area (to try and sell to the US Military). They were bought out ( a hostile take-over) about 2 or so years ago. I know that because I had bought stock in the company.....and eventually lost my ass in it. But they were always working on some pretty cool weapons technology. That's what drew me to them in the first place. An acquaintance of mine that worked with DHS (he was a former Ranger), had also told me of some pretty impressive engagements that had used their technology also. Long story short, A gunship flying overhead of an engagement area, swinging the guns downward while pinging the dogtags (yes, they have a chip in them) of our boys, and only firing on the enemy combatants. But they were making all kinds of VERY, COOL $HIT also. Try and find some stuff on their Redback system. Using pretty cool. "smart"/"stacked" munitions. And all sorts of other stuff too. They were bought out (taken over) by DefendTex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogtags don't have a chip in them, but Rangers wear Glint tape. Gunships paint the engagement area with an infrared spotlight, and the Glint tape shines bright as fukk in the gunner's targeting camera, individually - and he doesn't shoot the bright spots. Needed to get that part out - because dogtags don't have chips in them, and targeting isn't done on dogtags. Sorry, brother. A 1"x1" square of Glint tape makes you safe. Sew it into the top of your patrol cap, onto the upper portion of a uniform top sleeve, whatever makes you feel that the gunship will see you. That's why all the cool-guy tactical baseball hats have velcro on the top of them - to attach your Glint tape.

Somewhere in a box, I've still got a 50ft roll of black Glint tape. That was the shiit, when the black stuff came out, and you didn't have to use the silver tape. One dude told me that the roll of it was xxx-thousands of dollars. I have no idea how much the shiit cost, but I know it was hard to get ahold of... EDIT - Just now realized that, as of April Fools Day this year, 1 Apr 2017, I've been retired for ten fuckin' years. Holy shiit...

Rsquared Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Just repeating what I was told by the DHS dude. I could have misheard him, and maybe they were pinging radios or something. Hell, this was a couple years ago, and I'm not sure what I did last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mineralman55 Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Beautiful Engraving Metal engravings can be so precious to us when they are expressive and meaningful. I believe that the engraving shown below is especially poignant. I believe you will appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
