The Engineering Services Group’s Rapid Product Development Center and Ashbury Precision Ordnance have added a new in-house laser engraving capability.

The new fiber laser is very fast and can engrave a wide range of materials to a considerable depth on flat and rounded surfaces.

So what do talented Engineering Technicians do when they have time on their hands? They build jigs to speed up processes!

Here a brace of accessory tools are being engraved for the M107 Electro-Optic mount.

The Rapid Product Development Center in our Engineering Services Group has just brought our Stratysis FDM Vantage 3D Fuse Deposition Printer online. The engineering team is working on confirming modifications to a new SABER™ chassis center section. The “build” took about 14 hours. Stay tuned for pictures of the new MT-50 .50caliber SABER™ chassis center section for the McMillan TAC-50!

At one time surveillance meant knowing the enemy’s location, number of troops, and artillery, but this has all changed with emergence of terrorism. Today’s, soldiers are conducting “persistent surveillance,” which is essential to defeating today’s unconventional enemies. Based on watching enemies 24×7, decisions must be made and communicated to the striking force within seconds or opportunities are lost. In an increasing number of cases, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are used for persistent surveillance.

This type of life-saving, intelligent technology is made possible by a variety of companies including Fisher Connectors. This Swiss-based company provides highly reliable connectors for UAVs and other types of military equipment like the surveillance and weapon systems created by Ashbury International. Together these two innovative partners are providing soldiers with military surveillance equipment and weapon systems that stand apart from the competition.
