Targeting Systems

Across sport shooting, home defense, and the military, laser sights have become a staple of target acquisition and shot placement. At the same time, anyone having the pleasure to use a Trijicon ACOG has experienced the incredible accuracy and speed of using a glowing reticle. Our goal was to take the best of the reticle to non-optical weapon systems leveraging a few principles: 

•   A dot does not assist the eyes' calculation of dimensionality and distance


•   Under duress, having clear dominant visual indicators can mean life or death


•   The human eye is more sensitive to the color green


•   Green light appears 30 times as bright as red with the same power level


•   Color blind and senior shooters have can have difficulty with red colors

By leveraging a green direct-diode semiconductor laser, we're able to project a fixed mildot reticle helping gauge target distance and width, with a new twist. Enclosed in the solution patent is that the reticle is always self-leveling, ensuring clear target acquisition and orientation awareness in any firing position.  

What happens when you get a bunch of survival experts together who also have computer science, mechanical engineering, advanced mathematics, and medical degrees together? You get Batman-grade gear. 

Our Skunkworks R&D division aims to redefine future formats and architectures for edge computing, connectivity in degraded environments, and personal protective gear (PPE) for first responders. Catering to the unique DoD needs of MDC2 and C4ISR, we also aim to save lives with LEO and firefighters who are working hard to protect us every day.
