Modular, lightweight and compact, SPECTR is a self-contained rapid-response vehicle that can be towed into the gnarliest of locations by teams performing first response, search-and-rescue, crime scene investigation, SWAT, riot control and more. All SPECTR vehicles are proudly made in the USA by SNO Trailers, LLC, the Laguna Hills, Calif.-based maker of innovative, lightweight, compact trailers. The launch of SPECTR results from a new multiyear license agreement between Revelyst, Blackhawk and SNO Trailers that unites three iconic and innovative outdoor companies.

"SPECTR is a game-changer for emergency-response teams," said Simon Waters, President of Licensing, Entertainment and Communications for Revelyst. "Blackhawk stands for reliability and readiness, and Revelyst is renowned for its portfolio of iconic maker brands, so this partnership with SNO Trailers, the leader in off-road accessibility, allows us to expand into an important category. SPECTR goes wherever and whenever emergency-response teams are needed, providing critical communications, survival, riot-control and search-and-rescue tools."

SPECTR has standard features that showcase SNO Trailers’ craftsmanship and quality, but the vehicle is fully customizable depending on the end user’s needs. Each SPECTR includes WiFi and Starlink capabilities for staying in touch no matter how deep in the backcountry a team needs to travel. Add-on options include a drone launch pad, power-charging station, bathroom, lock boxes, equipment-repair area and more.

"We are extremely excited to be partnering with Revelyst and Blackhawk to bring SPECTR to the emergency-response market," said Kevin Cooper, CEO of SNO Trailers, LLC. "With our experience in the overland industry, we considered it a natural progression to offer agencies a dynamic solution to enhance response capabilities."

Designed for mission-critical first responders, military and law enforcement agencies that demand peak performance from their gear, SPECTR is ready to answer the call.

ISLAMABAD (AP) — Iran and the U.S. inched closer to a deal to end the Iran war, as Qatari mediators traveled to Tehran on Sunday to finalize the agreement, according to two regional officials.

The officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media, expressed cautious optimism that the U.S. and Iran were finally approaching an agreement that could halt hostilities that have killed thousands of people and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, whose closure has thrown world markets into disarray.

U.S. President Donald Trump and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said Saturday that the deal would be signed on Sunday, while Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said it could happen in the coming days. Trump said that the Strait of Hormuz would open immediately after the signing.

The deal is expected to be signed electronically, without an in-person ceremony, though it's unclear when or how the signing will take place.

The deal does not solve the thorniest issues between the U.S. and Iran, including Iran’s nuclear program or its frozen assets, but offers a 60-day framework for technical discussions on those issues, according to Pakistani and regional officials familiar with the ongoing negotiations who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. The officials described Pakistan’s monthslong effort leading the negotiations, struggling to keep both sides from walking out of the room and a total collapse of the negotiations on multiple occasions.

Under the current deal being discussed, U.S. and Israel appear to have fallen short of their original goals of destroying Iran’s missile and nuclear programs and ending its support for proxies. It is not clear how the deal will address these issues, or if they will be part of the final agreement.

Meanwhile, Trump was expected to discuss demining the Strait of Hormuz during the Group of Seven summit that starts Monday. The waterway is crucial to significant shipments of oil, natural gas and related products like fertilizer, and its effective closure rocked the global economy.

The apparent breakthrough came after Iran exchanged fire with the U.S. and Israel earlier in the week, threatening to rupture the ceasefire and push the Middle East back into full-scale war. A tenuous ceasefire has been in place since April 7.

Iran’s nuclear program and highly enriched uranium have long been at the center of tensions with the U.S. and Israel and an international source of concern.

Trump on social media asserted that “when all is calm,” the U.S. would go in and “downblend and destroy” the enriched uranium in Iran or in the U.S.

Iran has 440.9 kilograms (972 pounds) of uranium that is enriched up to 60% purity, a short, technical step from weapons-grade levels of 90%, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Iran has long maintained its nuclear program is peaceful and has not publicly committed to giving up the enriched uranium, which is believed to be buried under three nuclear sites that were badly damaged by U.S. strikes last year.

Meanwhile, fighting has continued in Lebanon between Israel, which has pushed its invasion deeper than at any point in over a quarter-century, and the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militant group despite a ceasefire.

Iran has wanted a ceasefire deal to include the fighting in Lebanon. Tehran also has sought the release of billions of dollars in frozen funds.

The deal in its current form is a deep disappointment to Israel’s government, which has been sidelined in negotiations led by Pakistan and others. Even critics in Trump’s own Republican Party, struggling with an unpopular war ahead of the midterm elections, criticized the deal. Some said it did not improve on the terms of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal that Trump withdrew the U.S. from during his first term and which he still describes as “bad.” __
