EOTech Press Release
 

U.S. Army- RFI and EOTech Agreement

Ann Arbor, Michigan - The U.S. Army has awarded EOTech, Inc. a contract for immediate supply of optical weapon sights. The contract acquires in excess of 6,000 EOTech standard commercial off-the-shelf, HOLOgraphic Weapon Sights for use on M4 weaponry. The specific version is the night vision compatible, AA battery model, M554.

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.

Well Ill be Dipped............... Im a friggen prophet or something LOL. Too bad I dont have that very sight anymore. Either some Colombian Policeman in Bogota or a TSA guy in Atlanta stole my EoTech AA battery, Night Vision Compatible sight out of my luggage. :mad:

The one time I forget to put it in my carry on it gets horked. I just checked and at least they didnt get my benchmade that I carry in my flightsuit.

Just got mine in last week.
 

I try to ship everthing ahead of time. The airports have a tendency of questioning my belongings.:p

Anymore I just ask to speak to the supervisor, identify myself and let him know what Im carrying. Its about 50/50 sometimes He lets me bypass the check all together, othertimes he personaly watches the X-ray and does not then open my bag.

And now a lesson from Luke's lessons in Air Travel. Things not to say if you havent spoken to the TSA Supervisor:

"Sir your bag has tested positive for explosive residue"

Well Id hope so, there was a claymore in it till this morning
