The EOTech Model 552
HOLOgraphic Weapon Sight (HWS) is fully compatible with all generation levels
of night vision intensifier tubes. A special night vision (NV) setting allows
the operator to immediately drop the brightness intensity of the holographic reticle
to eliminate any "halo" effect while viewing through an image
intensifier tube. The EOTech M552 can
be positioned in tandem behind night vision intensifiers without any
"bloom" of the target area. Now, operators can combine the proven
night vision technological advantage with a superior close quarters weapon
optic to achieve greatly enhanced weapon aiming - in complete darkness.
Unlike active IR laser pointer
systems, the HWS is a passive system and emits no muzzle-side signature. While
in the NV mode, the HWS not detectable by enemy night vision surveillance
systems, providing operators with a stealth means for effective nighttime
weapon aiming.
The EOTech M552
unique switch allows the operator to instantly drop the holographic reticle's
brightness to the NV mode of operation. The operator has the ability to toggle
back and forth between the NV mode and the normal day/night operation within
fractions of a second. The EOTech M552 has
10 distinct night vision settings to provide maximum flexibility to the
operator. Typically 3 to 4 brightness settings are not enough to support a host
of constantly changing conditions including manufacturing variances in the
sensitivities of the image intensifier tubes, varying ambient environments, and
varying light gathering sensitivities of the human eye across users. The M550
still maintains the 20 normal brightness settings for normal day/night
operations.
The typical configuration is with
both the monocular night vision system and the HWS mounted in tandem on the
weapon's receiver. Operators can also witness the holographic reticle with
head/helmet mounted monocular night vision image intensifier systems, even on a
partial cheekweld on the weapon's stock. This allows the operator added
flexibility and greater versatility when deploying with night vision systems in
the ever changing battlefield environments.
The EOTEch advantage is clear to see.
EOTech's HWS's field of view is nearly 4 times as wide as the Aimpoint Comp
M2's. The greater field of view means improved situational awareness and faster
threat identification. The HWS offers 10 night vision reticle settings compared
to the Aimpoint Comp's four settings.
The HWS uses state-of-the-art digital
electronics design. Twenty brightness levels ensure proper brightness control
in either low light or very bright sunlight. An on-board microprocessor provides
automatic battery check indicator, up/down brightness scrolling and
programmable auto shutdown features. All electronics are fully encapsulated in
shock absorbing resin compound.
The holographic patterns have been designed
to be instantly visible in any light, instinctive to center regardless of
shooting angle, and to remain in view while sweeping the engagement zone.
Reticles are designed as large, see-through patterns to achieve lightning quick
reticle to target acquisition without covering or obscuring the point of aim.
The HWS employs a true Heads-Up Display
that eliminates blind spots, constricted vision, or the tunnel vision
associated with tubed sights. All user controls are flush to the HWS's streamline
housing with no protruding knobs, battery compartments or mounting rings
blocking vision at the target area. True, 2 eyes open shooting is realized.
Instant threat identification is achieved by maximizing the operator's
peripheral vision and ultimately gaining greater control of the engagement
zone.
In holography, all the information required
to reconstruct the reticle image is recorded everywhere in the Heads-Up
display window. If the window is obstructed by mud, snow, rain, etc., the HWS
remains fully operational , with point of aim/impact being maintained. Even in
such extreme cases where the laminated window is shattered, the HWS is fully
functional! As long as the operator can see through any portion of the window,
the entire reticle pattern is visible on target...the operator can still engage
with confidence.
