/ THE ASSETS
MASTERS OF TRADECRAFT. FORGED AT THE FRONT.
Former special operations, law enforcement, and first responders. They define real-world requirements, inform engineering direction, and evaluate every finished system against operational intent.
HOW THE ASSETS SHAPE THE PRODUCT
DEFINE · INFORM · VALIDATE
01
DEFINE
Assets translate operational reality into hard requirements — what a target must survive, signature it must produce, and how fast it must reset.
02
INFORM
They sit with engineering through design, steel selection, and the thermal core — pushing back until the build matches the field.
03
VALIDATE
Finished systems are run against operational intent through real optics before anything ships. If it fails the range, it fails.
ASSET 001
JONES, ALEXZ
(FMR) SENIOR 18 DELTA / 5TH SFG (A/1/5)
Alexz is a former Special Forces 18D Green Beret and USPSA Grand Master. He operates where precision and consequence overlap. He founded Intrepid Defense to advance performance-driven training at scale. When existing thermal targets failed to meet operational reality, he brought the problem to SISU ARMS. We built the solution.

RELENTLESS INNOVATION
IS AMERICA'S ADVANTAGE
SISU ASSETS ensure our advantage is real. Each ASSET is peer-selected and peer-approved. Credibility is earned through experience, judgment, and results. No exceptions.
We build, our ASSETS decide if it’s ready.
BECOME / AN / ASSET
MILITARY - SWAT - POLICE - FIRE - EMT
We collaborate with experienced professionals who understand what works and what fails.
Our Assets help identify real problems and validate real solutions before they reach the field.
If you meet that standard—or know someone who does—you may apply or submit a referral.
