This video demonstrates a humorous, albeit unsuccessful, attempt by US Army personnel to extract a raccoon from a tactical vehicle's engine compartment. The primary takeaway is the critical importance of securing containment when dealing with captured animals, as a failure to do so resulted in the raccoon's escape. The video highlights a common maintenance environment and the use of FMTV vehicles.

This short highlights a common military maintenance mishap, emphasizing the critical importance of reading and adhering to Technical Manuals (TMs). The humorous scenario underscores that even 'idiot-proof' equipment requires careful attention to instructions to prevent catastrophic failures. It's a relatable moment for those familiar with military operations.

This video introduces Weapon Logic, a system designed to transition firearm maintenance from a time-based to a condition-based model. Utilizing passive RFID chips integrated into firearm components like pistol grips, the system allows armorers and civilian owners to track usage, including round counts and firing rates (single, blank, burst, high rate). This technology aims to provide a 'check engine light' for firearms, enabling proactive maintenance and part replacement before failure.

ADS and Weapon Logic introduces a system using passive RFID chips integrated into firearms to transition from time-based to condition-based maintenance. This technology acts as a 'check engine light' for firearms, alerting armorers when maintenance is truly needed based on usage, not just a schedule. The system can track round counts, differentiate between single shots, blanks, and high rates of fire, and is being developed with Bluetooth integration for civilian use via mobile applications.
