U.S. Army awards contract to EOTech
December, 2002
Ann Arbor, Michigan - The U.S. Army, under its Rapid Fielding Initiative, has awarded EOTech, Inc. a contract for immediate supply of optical weapon sights. Under the specific approval of the PEO Soldier, the contract acquires in excess of 6,000 units for immediate deployment for use by Army units being rotated into the Iraqi theater. The approved weapon optic is EOTech standard commercial off-the-shelf, HOLOgraphic Weapon Sight for use on M4 weaponry. The specific version is the night vision compatible, AA battery model.
EOTech invented and manufactures the World's 1st holographic sighting system to interface with tactical small to medium arms weaponry called the HOLOgraphic Weapon Sight (HWS). Adapted from the fighter jet's Heads Up Displays, the HWS achieves significant target acquisition speed gains while maintaining complete vision control of the engagement area.
The U.S. Army and EOTech look forward to a successful partnership that enhances the performance of the operators within the Army community.
