B.E. Meyers

KIJI K1-3° and KIJI K1-10°

KIJI is the most powerful, modular, VCSEL-based infrared laser illuminator commercially available. A Class 3R laser device, similar to the illuminator performance of the B.E. Meyers MAWL-DA, the KIJI K1- 3° emits up to 150mw, and the KIJI K1-10° emits up to 350mw of flawless infrared laser illumination. Both models feature four programmable power levels and include beam diffuser options to quickly adjust beam power and divergence, ensuring the best irradiance on target for any situation.

As a modular infrared illuminator, KIJI supports a wide variety of use scenarios –from umbrella lighting interior structures, to punching out hundreds of meters on a SPR. KIJI is compatible and interchangeable with most common CR123 300 series white light bodies and mounts, offering near endless versatility in handheld, helmet, weapon, vehicle, or aircraft mounted applications. This laser illuminator is designed to be used with user-preferred and existing aftermarket mounting hardware or remote switching options –making mounting and adoption as simple as using the parts and switching you already know and train with.

The KIJI comes in two models. Combining the included 10° diffuser on KIJI K1-3° and the included 40° diffuser on KIJI K1-10°, KIJI provides users with flexibility in output, beam pattern, and mounting hardware. This makes KIJI is an extremely high-performing and low-cost laser illuminator capable of meeting any IR illumination scenario or platform requirements.

LIGHTWAVE ILLUMINATOR™ HEAD TORCH

Lightwave of Laguna Hills, CA announces the introduction of a brand new kind of head torch, the solid-state Lightwave Illuminator™ Portable Lighting System. Like no other head torch, the Lightwave uses four super-bright white light emitting diodes (LEDs) that have a typical life of over 1000,000 hours. This is over 11 years of continuous usage (with battery change). The Lightwave Illuminator also has a specially designed printed circuit board to control the flow of voltage from the three AAA alkaline batteries. This means that the batteries powering a Lightwave Illuminator head torch will last 14 times as long as those powering a regular head torch. In fact, leaving a Lightwave Illuminator on for 336 hours, continuously, Lightwave’s engineers could still read a newspaper using only the light output from the Lightwave Illuminator. The Lightwave Illuminator weighs only 5 ounces and with batteries still only weighs less than 7 ounces. The light is waterproof to several feet so rain etc., is no problem. This makes it a good choice for camping, fishing and other outdoor activities. The Lightwave is also shockproof and there is no spark, caused by a breaking filament, if you happen to drop it. This makes it a great choice for miners, oil field workers and others where sparks can cause a big problem. The light can be dropped onto hard surfaces from 10 feet and the LEDs will not break and the light will still function normally. Except for batteries and abuse the light is warranted for 5 years. The super-bright white LEDs are visible for over one mile and are so bright that you almost have to be careful looking directly into them. Manufacturers suggested retail price is $39.95.

SAR 21: ASSAULT RIFLE FOR THE 21ST CENTURY

Singapore Technologies Kinetics is the land systems arm of Singapore Technologies Engineering. As a world-class integrated land systems group, S. T. Kinetics provides design and engineering services for military vehicles, weapons systems ammunition is ranging from manufacturing, upgrading, prepared to maintenance and life-cycle management. It also provides components and subsystems design and development, and laboratory and industrial test services. Singapore Technology Kinetics has now introduced the S. A. R. 21 assault rifle. The SAR 21 is a world’s latest and most advanced combat rifle. Designed and manufactured by ST Kinetics, the SAR 21 was first introduced to the public in September 1999 in Singapore. It then quickly made its international debut at the Defense Systems Equipment International 99 show in the UK and is now set to make waves in the international arena. Gunning for any industry first, the SAR 21 boasts many outstanding features and state-of-the-art technologies integrated into one rifle. Built on the “Bull-Pup” design with extensive use of high strength engineering plastics and composites, the 5.56 caliber gas operated assault rifle is 20 percent shorter, more compact and lighter in weight compared to an equivalent M-16, it’s widely used U.S. counterpart. Perfectly balanced with ergonomic design and very low recoil, the SAR 21 is ideally suited for the modern combat infantryman. It’s integrated 1.5X optical scope eliminates the need for zeroing to suit different users while enabling quick and accurate aiming. For low light conditions, its built-in laser aiming device with infrared or visible red dot option, offers almost instant reaction capability. In addition, the aiming sight located above the optical scope provides a backup combat site for the soldier. For added protection, the SAR 21 has incorporated patent-pending safety features, like a high-pressure vent hole at the barrel extension and a composite plate at the cheek arrests. Both features prevent the user from sustaining serious injuries in the unlikely event of the chamber explosion. The former feature provides an outlet to release the high-pressure while the latter shields the user from the explosion. The SAR 21 is easily disassembled without the use of tools. It breaks down into four major groups, the barrel group, bolt group, upper receiver group and lower receiver group. There are four variants of the SAR 21. The SAR 21’s modular construction is highly adaptable for various operational requirements and its variants come with a high commonality of parts, providing cost savings in logistics support, training and spare parts requirement. The new variants include the SAR 21 Light Machine Gun, the SAR 21 with 40 mm Grenade Launcher, the SAR 21 P-rail and the SAR 21 Sharp Shooter. The SAR 21 Light Machine Gun features a heavy barrel, bipod and open bolt firing system. The SAR 21 Light Machine Gun was developed as a section assault weapon. The SAR 21 can also be fitted with 40 mm Grenade Launcher with a 9 inch barrel. The laser aiming device is mounted on the quadrant platform for quick accurate target acquisition. This configuration serves to add firepower to the modern combat infantryman. The SAR 21 P- rail has a sight mounting platform in place of the integrated optical scope. This variant offers the flexibility of integrating other sighting systems according to the users needs. The last model, the SAR 21 Sharp Shooter, has a 3X optical scope in place of the 1.5X optical scope. The SAR 21 is gas operated with a rotary bolt. It offers both semi and full-auto fire with a cyclic rate of between 450 to 650 rounds per minute. It is fed by a 30 round box magazine and standard accessories include magazines, rifle cleaning kit and rifle sling. Optional accessories include the laser aiming device, blank firing attachment and bore sighting equipment.
