LiteFighter® Sheltering Systems

 

With the total number of confirmed Coronavirus (COVID-19) cases exceeding more than 26 million people globally, our warfighters’ safety now extends well beyond the battlefield. To combat the further spread of COVID-19 and meet the social needs of tactical distancing, LiteFighter® Systems, LLC (www.litefighter.com) has deployed over 45,000 LiteFighter 1 tents this year to date.

 

The LiteFighter 1 is a unique, lightweight, multi-season, individual shelter system that can be used both on the ground as a waterproof tent and on a standard-issue US military cot as a bug-proof bed net.

Since its inception, they have provided more than 350,000 warfighters with the best one-person tent available for CONUS Field Training, Emergency Response Missions, and deployed to multiple hot spots worldwide.

With eight possible configurations, the LiteFighter 1 is the most versatile single person tent on the market. This 3-season army tent is deployable on the ground, as a lightweight, back-packable, freestanding tactical tent (with or without a rainfly). You can also attach it to any standard-issue military cot for a secured bug-proof bed net and attach the rainfly onto the cot mounted system for additional privacy and protection. There is an optional waterproof groundsheet to add to the system for even greater wear resistance and durability. If you want a minimal configuration, the LiteFighter 1 sets up quickly as an ultra-lightweight Hasty Hooch™. To create a freestanding scout hide-site, add your camouflage netting to the hasty hooch configuration.

 

The LiteFighter 1 sets up quickly and easily. Here’s a demonstration:

 

LiteFighter® has developed a windbreaker attachment that can easily be placed on the inner tent to convert the 3-season military tent into a 4-season shelter for cold/windy conditions. The windbreaker can easily be taken off in warmer climates to reduce the weight and allow for more breathability. The inner tent tub floor and rainfly cover materials are all polyurethane coated; every seam has been carefully sealed with seam tape to make the system completely waterproof.

 

The double-walled ventilation allows maximum tent airflow and reduces condensation build-up. Dual extra-large rainfly vestibules allow for maximum gear storage and easy access into the tent. This LiteFighter 1 tent offers a simple 3-step assembly/disassembly procedure and packs easily into military rucksacks or 3-day assault packs.

 

LiteFighter® is staying on the leading edge of innovation by replacing the traditional aluminum pole sets with the new “Ghost Bone” ballistic fiber poles, spider hub, and all-weather shock cord. The new Ghost Bone ballistic fiber poles are lighter, stronger, more flexible, and more wind resistant. Watch how the LiteFigher 1 did against Category 1 hurricane-force winds. Seriously, you’ve got to watch this!

 

The LiteFighter 1 Individual Shelter System includes a 70D inner tent, a 30D rainfly cover, an all-in-one carbon fiber pole frame, six ground stakes, an accessory kit, fabric repair patches, a tent pole repair splint, four tent guy-outs with molded tensioners, a waterproof visual user guide, an accessory kit bag, and a tent carrying case.

 

The following optional items are available: a 70D waterproof groundsheet (required for hasty-hooch configuration), a windbreaker, and camouflage netting for a tactical scout hide-site.

 

LiteFighter® is the leading provider of small tactical shelters to the US military and continues to develop innovative shelter systems that address an ever-changing battlefield. LiteFighter® is a family-owned, VA certified, Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) that manufactures rugged, lightweight, versatile, and highly mobile individual shelter systems and tactical gear for the US military and the outdoor camping community. Our shelter systems are made in the USA, for soldiers, by soldiers. If you’d like to find out more, visit www.litefighter.com.

 

 

 

TCI™ LIBERATOR® NEW COMMUNICATIONS SUITE

 

The new TCI™ Liberator® IV, V, and HP headsets meet law enforcement and special operations forces’ current demands and requirements.

Liberator® headsets’ key features include electronic hearing protection to provide full-spectrum environmental sound and incoming radio communication simultaneously. The multimode dual processor design includes active noise cancelation (ANC) to add additional electronic protection against steady-state noise. A combined mode pairs the two processors to provide the end-user complete electronic protection against both impulse and steady-state noise. The Liberator® series tactical headsets have been deployed by the Department of Defense, law enforcement agencies, and security teams during missions in Afghanistan, Iraq, and worldwide. Thousands of systems are currently in service today, and thousands more will be deployed locally and around the world in the future. All Liberator® headset systems are designed, engineered, and manufactured in Ontario, California.

Liberator® tactical headsets exceed military durability standards with earcups made from durable Safari 7 TM glass polymer, which offers scratch-resistant protection and exceeds the high and low-temperature thresholds of current headset earcups. The Safari 7 TM glass polymer is the same type of material that Safariland® uses for its 7TS holsters systems. The headset features multimode digital hearing protection for all sound environments, high-battery life from a choice of two battery types, low-profile earcups, state-of-the-art digital sound processing for optimal reproduction of environmental sounds, and leading radio frequency (RF) and time delay multiaccess (TDMA) shielding for using advanced digital waveforms such as ANW2. TCI™ utilizes an exclusive Advanced Digital Threat Compression Technology (ADCTC) that compresses hazardous sound levels while providing the user with continuous situational awareness, communications, and the best replication of ambient sound. The TCI™ Advanced Digital Situational Awareness Enhancement technology (ADSAE) provides the user with precise sound localization and proximity of ambient sound to maximize the user’s effectiveness and safety. The headsets also feature an active noise cancelation (ANC) mode to provide an additional 5-8dBa reduction above the steady-state 25dBa (25NRR) offered passively by the earcups themselves. The third mode of operation combines ADCTC and ANC modes to provide electronic protection against steady-state noise and impulse noise.

Additionally, in this mode, the headset features a speech isolation mode that isolates close proximity human speech out of the background noise, processes it, and replicates it inside the earcup allowing end-users to communicate face-to-face without the need for an intercom. The modern electronics on this headset are firmware updatable using near field communications (NFC) protocols. These progressive attributes and an array of others enable Liberator® headsets to be ideal for tactical missions. Liberator® headsets provide the performance necessary to support operator concentration, safety, mission completion and reduce user fatigue.

The Liberator® IV and V Tactical Headsets provide exceptional communications and electronic hearing protection during typical and critical situations. The ability to maintain peripheral hearing and amplify potential danger signs and audio clues from the environment are unique features of Liberator® systems and necessary for tactical missions. The electronic hearing protection of Liberator® V systems is the most advanced available. Less progressive systems “clip” or “cut-off” ambient sounds while the hearing protection is activated, impeding situational awareness for the user and often negatively affects incoming communications. On the other hand, Liberator® systems compress and reduce hazardous sound to safe levels inside the headset without muting ambient sounds or incoming radio communication audio. The TCI™ ADSAE technology provides 360 degrees of ambient sound reproduction. This technology is the most accurate method of environmental sound replication, threat identification, and threat localization.  It uses dual external microphones that continually process ambient sounds and instantaneously compress impulse noise. With up to 29 dBa of attenuation, the headset protects the user from exposure to harmful static-state and impulse sounds by compressing dangerous sound levels to approximately 82 dBa. The headsets feature a fixed behind-the-head comfort fit, and the headset suspension provides a comfortable fit with any helmet type. The rigid band is situated low enough to not conflict with different nape pads or ratchet-style helmet suspension systems. The band is also adjustable to allow for the best fit possible.

Liberator® IV Tactical Headsets come with compact single-channel tactical Push-to-Talk (PTT), with a quick disconnect radio interface cable. These radio interface cables are the same cables used on the TCI™ Liberator® 3 & 5 dual comm systems. The system includes a factory mutually approved radio interface connection, assuring the connection precisely meets radio model specifications. This model provides radio interface cables for military radios using a U329 connection and for the Motorola® XTS® 5000/PRC153. The switch is protected inside the PTT housing and is easily accessible in all conditions and wearing gloves. The raised PTT enclosure protects the switch from accidental activation. This PTT is ambidextrous, includes a 17″ coiled radio cable, and requires no end-user modification. This Liberator® V tactical headset comes with a compact dual tactical PTT and a compact single-channel PTT. Both PTT devices utilize the same common quick disconnect cables, including a factory mutually approved radio interface connection, assuring the connection precisely meets radio model specifications. The dual communications PTT is wired TEMPEST compliant and includes features to prevent accidental transmission of potential classified traffic over an unclassified radio net. The enclosure and custom aerospace aluminum switches are IP68 rated and have a cycle count of 1 million activations. The switches feature a raised tactile indicator for high and low bands and are easily distinguished in all conditions and wearing gloves. The single communications PTT is a modernized U94 form that is waterproof and features an ambidextrous MOLLE clip. This package allows end-users to conduct single-channel communications without the hassle of a deactivated PTT switch or unused open connections.

A zipped padded storage bag is also a standard feature for Liberator® systems.

The SOPMOD Buttstock

The Lewis Machine & Tool®, LMT®, SOPMOD buttstock was derived out of the Special Operations Peculiar Modifications program.  It was a true public/private partnership that teamed private business to manufacture new solutions to increase weapon performance for Special Operations Force’s requirements.  One of the block 2 program goals was to create an improved buttstock that would advance ergonomic and performance standards.

 

LMT® was the commercial force behind the development of the SOPMOD buttstock.  The stock incorporates an enhanced cheek weld and a rubberized buttpad.  The better angle on the cheek helps gain a more natural shooting position and incorporates two watertight tubes for battery storage. Together the enhanced cheek weld and rubberized buttpad reduce the overall felt recoil and improve second shot consistency.

 

The stock utilizes glass-reinforced polymer that is stronger than a standard M4 buttstock.  The tube is cut to military specified extension tubes and has a tight tolerance to eliminate any rattle or sound.  The gen2 SOPMOD stock incorporates two quick detach sling swivels for sling attachment.

 

Bottom line: The LMT® SOPMOD stock is an operationally-proven buttstock that reduces perceived recoil and improves accuracy.

SureFire® SOCOM Suppressors – The Standard-Bearer

In 2002 SureFire® created its suppressor division to redefine suppressor technology, materials, and construction. Starting with the finest U.S. mill-certified high-temperature alloys available, SureFire® engineered the most advanced and fail-safe suppressor baffle system ever devised. It met all their ambitious criteria for sound, flash, and dust signature reduction while remaining compact in size, lightweight, and supremely durable. They torture-tested every design relentlessly to ensure that it met their goals while consistently producing a sub-1 MOA shift in point of impact compared to the same weapon unsuppressed, regardless of the number of attach-detach cycles. Their patented front plate design virtually eliminated the first-round flash signature. Their patented Fast-Attach® mounting system provided a rock-solid interface with the weapon and fast and easy detachment after extensive firing. The philosophy at SureFire® has always been that durability, signature reduction, accuracy, repeatability, and sound suppression are the most important factors to consider when evaluating a suppressor design for combat or duty use.

Once they were satisfied, they had met their own goals; they summated their suppressors for the SOCOM suppressor solicitation. The SOCOM suppressor solicitation was the most demanding suppressor trial ever performed by the U.S. Military. In 2011 SureFire® was awarded the SOCOM Suppressor contract for $23.3 million.

 

In 2017 they were awarded another $10 million contract.

This contract is the second award based on the most rigorous and extensive suppressor selection in USSOCOM history.

In 2019 The military established NSN’s for the SOCOM556-RC2.

 

SureFire® makes SOCOM model suppressors for weapons systems from 5.56 to .50 Caliber weapons.

There are four SOCOM series models in 5.56 caliber; SB2, RC2, the Mini2, and MG. All of these come in both black and dark earth. All of these suppressors except the Mini2 have NSN’s assigned to them.

There is additionally four SOCOM series models in 7.62 caliber; SB2, RC2, TI, and MG. The MG model has an assigned NSN.

The SOCOM300-SPS was designed for the 300 Blackout, but works for all calibers from 5.56 thru 300WM.

The SOCOM338 TI is 9.9 inches long and weighs 22.0 OZ, but it is a beast at handling the 338 Lapua and has an assigned NSN.

The SOCOM 50 SPS at 14.4 inches long and 86 oz is a large suppressor to be sure, but it also accommodates the large 50 caliber round. The SOCOM 50 SPS delivers up to a 99% reduction in flash to conceal the shooter’s location.

The newest kids on the block are the SOCOM65-RC2 and the SOCOM65-TI. These suppressors are for 6.5mm, 6mm, .260 calibers. The SOCOM65-RC2 is the 6.5 mm/6 mm/.260-caliber version of the U.S. Special Operations Command selected suppressor for the Mk13 Sniper Rifle.

All SureFire® suppressors are designed and built in the USA.

 

SOCOM65-RC2 SUPPRESSOR

  • The combat-grade suppressor for 6.5 Creedmoor, 6 mm and .260 caliber rifles
  • Full-auto reliability
  • Reduces sound at shooter’s ear to 130 dB, cuts visible muzzle flash by 98%

Get The Most Out Of Your Creedmoor. Why would you accept less than the best suppressor for your 6.5 mm Creedmoor, .260 caliber, or 6 mm semi-automatic rifle? The SOCOM260-RC2 utilizes the same technically advanced, no-compromise design and engineering that earned the SOCOM556-RC suppressor a victory in the harshest, most demanding suppressor trials in USSOCOM history. Using the latest manufacturing techniques and materials, a class-leading suppressor delivers the utmost in sound attenuation and flash and dust signature reduction. CNC laser-welded Inconel alloy and stainless steel materials provide uncompromising durability. Inside, the technically superior internal baffling reduces backpressure and sound to match supreme accuracy with extreme quiet. It makes your 6.5 Creedmoor a 10 in the stealth department.

 

 

 

 

SOCOM65-TI SUPPRESSOR

  • The ideal titanium suppressor available for 6 mm, 6.5 mm and .260 caliber bolt-action rifles
  • The lightest SureFire® suppressor; minimal effect on weapon handling
  • Optimal bore concentricity and suppressor alignment deliver extremely consistent accuracy.

Send It. The revolutionary SureFire® SOCOM65-Ti is the lightest rifle-mount suppressor we make, but if you want the best in noise attenuation, quality materials, and precision craftsmanship, it’s a genuine heavy hitter. The SOCOM65-Ti meet and exceed military sniper rifle suppressor specifications. It performs best with bolt-action weapon systems and precision rifles and weighs a mere 11 ounces while maintaining our strictest durability standards. The SOCOM65-Ti’s internal venting technology evenly distributes thermodynamic gases, significantly reducing pressure impulse effects on the projectile as it clears the muzzle.
