A SBIR Phase II contract was awarded to Battle Born Supply Co. in August, 2022 for $747,745.0 USD from the U.S. Department of Defense and United States Air Force.
Battle Born Supply Co. is working with USAF TACPs to continue the development of our advanced, world-class 5.56mm / .223 caliber suppressors. Our fully-shooter’s-ear-hearing-safe technology is based on proprietary and patent-pending internal suppressor geometries that reduce the sound signature / report of small arms by over 20% more than the best suppression technology ever on the market. With M4-style weapons, this concussive and impulsive sound is at a range on the logarithmic decibel scale where every additional decibel has a massive impact on hearing damage and, when on covert / clandestine operations, where every single decibel can be a matter of life and death. The sound reduction we’ve achieved is a generational improvement in the reduction of sound, a massive leap forward in Soldier Stealth. Our technology has been designed to minimize gas blowback (a common issue with suppressors), allow for unimpeded weapon cycling, improve shooter performance (accuracy and groupings), reduce recoil, increase projectile velocity and range, and greatly extend the operable product lifespan. We’ve designed specialized features and processes into our technology to significantly expand the functional lifespan of our suppressors, meaning that USAF Special Warfare Airmen have a more robust product that will last much longer in the field.
