Tactical Gear

Marines in fire-support units can now coordinate artillery, mortar and naval gunfire from a handy, ruggedized tablet.

The Air Force contract is for low-bulk boots designed to keep pilots' feet warm in temperatures as low as -20 Fahrenheit.

The Army began working on the MHS in 2009 and launched a competition, which Sig ultimately won, in the summer of 2015.

Combat Marines will soon test an upgraded version of a tactical tablet designed to help units see through the fog of war.

Israel Weapon Industries recently unveiled a new AR-style rifle that can quickly change from 5.56mm to .300 Blackout ammo.

The Marine Corps recently asked bootmakers to submit designs for cold weather boots built to keep Marines' feet warm.

Sig Sauer offered a first look at the automatic rifle and rifle prototypes for the U.S. Army's Next Generation Squad Weapon.

The Army's goal is to begin replacing both M4s and M249s in an infantry brigade combat team in the first quarter of 2023.

Marine infantrymen may soon be able to see through the floor of an MV-22 Osprey and track terrain features.

Weapons officials say that the new Direct View Optic could be ready for fielding by late 2020.
