At OscarDelta SPD we utilise our experience & knowledge to design, custom build & modify SERE (Survive, Evade, Resist and Escape), Black Ops and EDC (Every Day Carry) Gear for use by Military, Law Enforcement and Security Agencies.
All products are designed with consideration for limited SAWC (Space/Size And Weight Constraints).
We also design, custom build & modify Mag flashlights.
Interactive Field Testing
We offer an exclusive service allowing manufacturers direct contact with Field Testers from the UK Tactical Community.
Our Field Test Operatives all work in an operational Law Enforcement or Military environment and will take a proactive approach to field testing current products
and new products from prototype to completion.
You will receive direct feedback before going into production via our User Evaluation Phase & Interactive Field Testing service.
Far too often equipment is designed with limited input from the actual personnel that will be using it in the future.
Special Projects Division
To demonstrate a typical active project and
example of our work please look at our modified Mag flashlights 2D6AA/3D9AA and Mag ROP.
Modifying and upgrading torches is not a new idea, in the USA it has been around for many years and
there is even a forum dedicated to the subject. The current trend is powerful torches in a small unit.
Our concept is that a police officer should have access to at least two torches;
a small torch carried on his person (every day carry) and a larger primary torch, carried when leaving
the vehicle, conducting a stop, area search etc. For this purpose our primary torch is the
2D and 3D Mag-Lite®,
we have found these are just about the right size, not too cumbersome and easily utilised as an effective defensive tool
if suddenly confronted by a violent attacker. Both primary and secondary torches should be bright enough to temporarily
blind/disorientate an aggressor to gain momentary advantage.
Our aim was to produce
a torch custom made for the military, law enforcement and security agencies, offering a truly balanced
and efficient lighting system. Designed tough enough to last a lifetime and for those who demand more from a
torch than just a source of light.
The project is subject to ongoing field testing and evaluation of various lamps, custom reflectors,
specialist lenses and adapted power sources. Continuous technology change, research and development will result in further modifications and upgrades of this project.
At OscarDelta we know that new product design and development is more than often a crucial factor in the survival of a company.
In an industry that is fast changing, firms must continually revise their design and range of products.
This is necessary due to continuous technology change and development as well as other competitors and the changing preference of customers.

The 4 areas critical to successful Field Testing:
1. Unbiased but qualified selection of participants
2. Comparisons with the closest competitor product/service
3. Interviews or data collection that is unbiased and in some cases blind
4. Participant sampling that is large enough to provide valid results
Testing Real Gear for Real People
There are still a number of challenges that lay ahead before the product is ready for full production.
Testing will ensure that the components will meet the harsh conditions that are found in tactical environments.
A product must have the ability to be rated in at least six categories.
In addition to the numerical rating a short paragraph identifying the advantages and
disadvantages of the product will be submitted by our Field Test Operatives (FTO).
The rating categories are:
1. Design
2. Performance
3. Ease of Use
4. Size
5. Comfort
6. Cleaning/ Maintenance
7. Accuracy
8. Quality
9. Durability
10. Storage
11. Versatility
12. Convenience
13. Application for Law Enforcement/Military
Products will be tested and scored in 13 possible categories on a scale of 1 to 5.
5 - Excellent: Defined as a product that performs at a level above advertised specifications and demonstrates its usefulness and quality of workmanship every time it is used and can be used for other purposes.
4 - Very Good: Defined as a product that exceeds advertised specifications on a regular basis and outperforms others in usefulness and quality of workmanship
3 - Average: Defined as a product the meets minimum advertised specifications, has practical use, but does not go above or beyond the scope of quality or usefulness that is expected.
2 - Fair: Defined as a product that has occasional applications and in some situations meets advertised specifications, but overall is not effective.
1 - Poor: Defined as a product that does not meet minimum advertised specifications needed to make the product useful, product does meet any of its practical purposes.
