Tactical Solution Partners Debuts ArmoRight(TM) Body Armor System
Company Introduces Proprietary Ultra-Light Weight, Buoyant Body Armor at NAVEXFOR 2008
Tactical Solution Partners, Inc. (OTCBB:TTSR), a provider of innovative homeland security technology products and services, today announced the introduction of ArmoRight™, an innovative body armor system offering neutral or positive buoyancy in a compact form factor, at the 2008 NavExFor (Navy Expeditionary Forces) Symposium and Expo in Virginia Beach, Virginia on March 11-13, 2008.
The launch of the ArmoRight™ body armor system advances the Company’s ongoing commitment to developing and commercializing next generation products and services targeting several multibillion-dollar segments of the international homeland security and defense industries.
ArmoRight™, a lightweight body armor designed and engineered by one of TTSR’s retired Navy SEALs, offers unparalleled protection and fit and is manufactured to be either neutrally or positively buoyant. The buoyancy feature, combined with years of SEAL experience in proper engineering and fit of the vest itself, created a significant level of interest at the Expo, particularly by foreign and domestic military agencies operating in and around maritime environments.
“While many of the attendees were interested in our lines of hook knives and ruggedized thirty-round (ammunition) magazines, we were overwhelmed by their response to our military and law enforcement ArmoRight systems,” commented Doug McQuarrie, Director of Technology and Marketing for the Company’s TSO division and designer of the ArmoRight™ body armor system.
“We designed our personnel protective equipment for buoyancy, user comfort and performance in tight-quarters, shoot and move situations. With all of the requirements placed on our soldiers, aviators and law enforcement personnel, the one-size-fits-all approach to ballistics protection equipment no longer works,” McQuarrie continued. “We believe we can deliver a body armor system adaptable to the needs of all of our customer groups.”
“We’re encouraging all military and law enforcement agencies to come work with us to better protect their personnel with ArmoRight,” said William A. Shafley, Chief Executive Officer of Tactical Solution Partners. “Not only will the systems deliver comprehensive defense from handgun, rifle and fragmentation threats, our lightweight design protocols ensure that users are unencumbered by poorly fitting, heavy and one-shot-protection armor many are relying upon today. There’s a better solution out there, and it’s ArmoRight.”
The NavExFor 2008 Symposium and Expo, hosted by the The Lodestar Group, LLC (www.defensetradeshows.com) entitled “Expeditionary Forces: Essential for 21st Century Seapower Strategy,” centered on the Navy’s Expeditionary Combat Command initiative, which began in October 2007 and is focused on building and expanding the capabilities of joint force seapower, through training, technology and mission readiness programs. NavExFor 2008 was attended by over 1800 maritime, riverine, expeditionary, explosives ordnance and combat engineer professionals from foreign and domestic law enforcement agencies.
Over 150 exhibitors, including Tactical, showcased products and services ranging from combat and police equipment to watercraft and intelligence technologies. Presenters included US Navy Commanders of Explosive Ordnance Disposal, Riverine Squadron One, the Expeditionary Training Command, as well as Rear Admiral Michael P. Tillotson, the Commander of the Navy Expeditionary Combat Command, among others.
