[img]http://photos.prnewswire.com/prn/20150721/238945[/img] "Kestrel has proudly supported Marine Corps Scout Snipers with rugged environmental meters for more than 15 years, starting with the original Kestrel 4000 Weather Tracker, through to the Kestrel 4500 with Applied Ballistics selected on this contract," said Nielsen-Kellerman (NK) CEO Alix James. "We are constantly working to develop solutions that make our warfighters more effective without weighing them down with unnecessary gear. We are honored that this selection confirms that we're building what our soldiers need." NK is the manufacturer of the Kestrel Weather & Environmental Meters. U.S. Representative Patrick Meehan (PA, 7th District) said, "The Marine Corps' decision is great news for our warfighters. And having visited the Nielsen-Kellerman facilities in Boothwyn, Pennsylvania, and met the hard-working men and women who create this innovative product, the Marine Corps announcement is good for jobs and growth in Pennsylvania as well." The Kestrel 4500 with Applied Ballistics is a 4-ounce, hand-held meter that combines accurate wind, direction, temperature, pressure and humidity readings with a built-in advanced ballistics calculator and bullet performance database. The Kestrel outputs elevation and wind holds calculated for the precise weapon, round and target characteristics, allowing snipers to put first shots on target at 1000 yards and beyond. The 887 Kestrel meters purchased will be supplied in a complete field support kit containing the following: Kestrel Shooter's Weather Meter with Applied Ballistics ITAR Desert Tan Tactical Kestrel 4000 Series Screen Protection Kit Pelican 1015 Black Case Mystery Ranch Molle Soft Case All Kestrel Weather Meters are designed and built in Pennsylvania, and the Kestrel Kit selected for this contract award is fully Berry Amendment and BUY American Act compliant.
