When LED technology entered the flashlight industry to become the main-stream light source, not only did it improve energy efficiency dramatically, but also it brought with it the possibility of mode functionality. Propelled by the potential of these advancements in LED technology, NEXTORCH heard customer demands for more innovative and practical products. In 2011 NEXTORCH’s product development team patented a new Smart Torch Technology (STT) and this is used in the myTorch flashlight products. With STT, users can personalize the mode settings for various applications, unlimited modes possible. NEXTORCH’s rechargeable flashlights with STT make it even easier for the better light to be a bigger part of just about everything you do, truly the World’s First Smart Light.

Various modes enable flashlights to be used for different applications. High output modes can be used for outdoor sports activities, such as hiking and running, while low output modes can be applied for camping and reading; also S.O.S. modes can be utilized in emergency situations, whereas law enforcement officers may employ strobe functions for self-defense or counter strike purposes. Depending on how a NEXTORCH flashlight is used, while some may prefer a single mode or a few modes, more and more users have been realizing the benefits of having multiple modes, and some users may even need various different modes at different times. No matter what your requirements are, NEXTORCH flashlight can make all this happen, whereever and whenever you need it.

Richmond, Va. (April 4, 2013)-American Security Group announced today that it has introduced mobile alarm response to commercial customers in the Richmond and VA Beach, VA metro areas.

John Hall, President, says that “False alarm reduction is a priority for many law enforcement agencies; but as a result charges significant premiums to customers who have repetitive false alarms at their businesses. We are seeking to provide an alternative to those businesses that need an alarm responder, but do not want to pay the excessive fees police departments charge for their response. “ASG” has been in the mobile security patrol business since 1994 and already has experienced officers on patrol in these areas. We look forward to filling the need, working with alarm companies and law enforcement to reduce their workload while providing a cost-effective alternative to the end alarm users.”

January 14, 2013 – Chantilly, VA - Aimpoint, the originator and worldwide leader in electronic red dot sighting technology, has announced that due to high levels of demand from US law enforcement and federal agencies for the Patrol Rifle Optic (PRO), that further expansion of the company’s production capabilities have been undertaken, and increased supplies of this sight are already being shipped throughout the company’s Dealer network.

Designed specifically for use on law enforcement carbines and shotguns, the Patrol Rifle Optic has achieved a very high degree of success within the US market. Advanced product features, budget friendly price, and a unique Dealer program have all contributed to this success. The company is planning further sales and marketing efforts in order to continue to reach the customer base in 2013.

“The success of the Patrol Rifle Optic during 2012 was even stronger than we could have ever imagined, and required some real magic from our production planners in order to keep up with demand” said Matt Swenson, Vice President of Government Sales at Aimpoint Inc. "Fortunately, we were able to expand some of the company’s production capacity to manufacture this new sight, and have managed to keep all of our customers happy. The PRO is exactly what the US professional market needs in terms of a rugged, multi-purpose sight that will always work when you need it, and we will continue to do anything necessary to meet the needs of our official end users in the USA.”

Introduced in 2011, the Patrol Rifle Optic has become the new standard in optical sighting for law enforcement agencies. The modular mounting system provided with the sight allows the PRO to be adapted to fit nearly all law enforcement weapons, and the sight is designed to take the
constant abuse that police and security work delivers on a daily basis. Three years of constanton power from a single battery ensures that the sight never needs to be turned off, so it is always ready for use. A transparent rear lens cover allows the sight to be used even with both lens covers closed under emergency conditions with both eyes open.

January 14, 2013 – Malmo, Sweden - Aimpoint, the originator and worldwide leader in electronic red dot sighting technology, has announced that the company’s FCS12 fire control system has successfully passed advanced field trials, and has been placed in active service with the Swedish Army. The system will be utilized on the 84mm Carl Gustav M3 multi-purpose weapon system built by Saab Dynamics.

The FCS12 incorporates an eye safe 1550nm laser range finder, as well as sensors that measure aiming angle and environmental conditions to provide the operator a range-adjusted point of aim on measured targets. The onboard computer allows the unit to store ballistic algorithms for up to 50 different munitions, five of which can then be entered on a short list to ensure rapid selection by the operator in a combat situation. After measurement of the distance to the target is initiated by the operator, a compensated point-of-aim is calculated and presented instantly, allowing the operator to fire the weapon immediately. The most important features of this optic can be accessed using a remote wireless control module that can be operated under stress without removing gloves or requiring the operator to change their grip on the weapon. The FCS12 is built to stand up to harsh field conditions, and its solid state design does not rely on any fragile motors or sensitive moving parts.

“The 84mm Carl Gustav M3 is an extremely versatile and effective weapon system, and now Aimpoint has given M3 operators the advantage of increased speed on target, as well as a high level of probability that their first shot may be the only shot they will need to engage a threat” said Lennart Ljungfelt, President of Aimpoint AB. “By eliminating user error in distance and terrain angle estimation, the FCS12 actually increases the weapon’s effective range, and greatly
increases first hit probability. Aimpoint has invested years of advanced electro-optical science in the development of the FCS12, and we are proud to have supplied this optimized fire control system to the Swedish military.”

The FCS12 system is suitable for use on shoulder mounted rocket launchers such as the Carl Gustav and Panzerfaust, as well as 40mm automatic grenade launchers including the MK19, MK47 and GMG. The system is powered by a quickly changeable internal power pack using replaceable standard AA batteries, and is compatible with all generations of night vision devices.

Farmingdale, New York,– The Mako Group, a leading distributor of unique weapon accessories and holsters, plus EOD and breaching products, has increased its stock of Meprolight Optical sights for tactical weapons, to meet a growing demand in the USA market.

Products available from The Mako Group meet the needs of Special Forces units, military, law enforcement agencies, SWAT teams, security organizations, and civilian weapons enthusiasts. Meprolight Optical Sights are standard issue for the Israeli Defense Forces.

According to Shay Granov, The Mako Group Vice President of Business Development, “We have seen the American market become increasingly aware of the unique features and benefits provided by Meprolight tactical sights that are not matched by any other optical sights. As a result, in 2013 we expect to see triple-digit growth in the demand for Meprolight sights in the United States. We are ramping up to meet that demand.

Meprolight is an International Electro-Optics company that has been developing, manufacturing and marketing systems for infantry, armed forces, law enforcement agencies and civilian markets since 1990. The company provides comprehensive solutions with a wide array of combat-proven products: Electro-optical and optical sights and devices, night vision devices, thermal sights, and other tritium and LED illuminated products and accessories for safety and security applications.

Mepro M21 Self-Powered Day/Night Reflex Sight with Dust Cover

The M21 Reflex sight provides constant, all-light aiming capability, without batteries. Designed through close collaboration with Israeli Special Forces, the M21 was the first reflex sight in the world designed for close quarter combat, and it has been continuously improved upon as new technology emerged, making it one of the most advanced sights available today. It is also available with a dust cover and carry handle mount.

Mepro MOR Tri-Powered Reflex Sight with Laser Designators 

Mepro MOR is an all-in-one electro-optical sight. Illumination is powered by ambient light during daylight, by tritium during darkness, and by battery power when needed to overcome difficult lighting situations. It includes built-in visible and IR laser designators. Both lasers and the reticle are zeroed simultaneously using one zero system. 

Mepro GLS is a dual self-illuminated optical sight proven to produce the highest first-shot hit rate of any grenade launcher sight available. It mounts on a Picatinny top rail – alone or behind a reflex sight – or can be mounted onto a side adapter (9 o’clock). It has both windage and elevation adjustments. During the day, a light collector tube concentrates available ambient light into a dot and projects it onto the sight lens. At night, a small tritium light source energizes the dot. An elevation scale is very dimly illuminated during darkness by an additional tritium light source. 

About Meprolight

Meprolight’s headquarters, design and manufacturing facilities are located in Israel. All of Meprolight’s products undergo meticulous quality assurance according to international standards, and are fully certified to ISO-9001:2008. They also comply with NATO and US military specifications and International MIL Standards. Meprolight is a part of the SK GROUP.

About The Mako Group

In addition to its line of Meprolight optical sights, The Mako Group also offers FAB DEFENSE accessories for tactical weapons, and an extensive selection of Front Line holsters for tactical, on-duty and private carry.

Because the products distributed by The Mako Group have been specifically requested and used by the Israel Defense Force (IDF), Israeli Police, and Security Agencies, they have seen extensive real-world combat with some of the most elite forces in the world. Few distributors can make this claim about their products. These are true combat-proven weapon accessories.

The Mako Group is managed by former military, Secret Service and Special Forces operatives that have tested, used, and relied on such equipment to preserve their lives and the lives of others.

The Mako Group has a liberal Test and Evaluation (T&E) program in place, with policies that make it simple for publishers, editors and writers to obtain equipment for stories and articles.

The Mako Group is a Registered Contractor to the US Department of Defense.
