These are some of Buzzworks' patented designs that are yet to be commercialised.
The patented Multi-Rig™ Panel System reduces platform weight to the absolute minimum. Multi-Rig uses MOLLE straps from your pouches to build your platform, so your Multi-Rig™ Platform weighs less than 40% of comparable rigs. The panels combine to fit all users and are multi-purpose for all uses and roles.
The patented Ballistic Transparent Mandible is vertically and horizontally adjustable, can be customized to fit the wearer and securely attaches to any helmet with an ARC® or Exfil® helmet rail. It is ~40% lighter than the market average weight for non-transparent ballistic mandibles.
The patented Soldier Integration Lab - Virtual Reality (SIL-VR™) is a virtual integration laboratory enabling integration assessment of new equipment onto the “soldier as a system”. This allows manufacturers to virtually interact with a modern soldier and virtually integrate their product to measure and analyse the impact of this addition to the wearer.
This is a subset of the 11 items designed by Buzz that are now in-service with the Australian Defence Force.
A light jungle harness, capable of comfortably carrying 15-25kg, weighing 250g (50% of the previous issue harness). Current ADF standard issue.
The GPCS combined function of the TBAS Combat Sling with the Sling, General Purpose for the F88, EF88 and F89 rifles. 30,000 units now in-service with the ADF.
Designed to stop soldiers breaking bayonets, this design was manufactured by SORD and was their 4th highest selling item for two years.
Our design team leverage user and engineering experience to design and manufacture off-the-page innovative prototypes that meet and exceed user needs... from low-tech to high tech.
A minimalist amphibious harness, capable of comfortably carrying 15kg, weighing only 120g (25% of incumbent). More comfortable than current harnesses, this used a single layer of laser-cut material to distribute the soldier's load.
Tasked to prove the 'potential utility' of a passive exoskeleton, Buzz worked with leading academics and scientists to design the evaluation program to prove (or disprove) this capability, designing modifications along the way.
Buzz and his team prototyped numerous 'extreme load carriage' solutions for sustained tactical load carriage of up to 100kg. These are currently being trialed with special forces in the field.
