Eotech 553 Holosight - Morovision Night Vision

Eotech 553 - Holographic Weapon Sight

After extensive testing of various optical sights, US Special Operations Command has standardized on the HWS as its 1X weapon optic for close quarter, urban combat zones. To meet the stringent requirements set and demanded by our elite fighting forces, L-3 EOTech has developed the SU-231/PEQ (Model 553), modeled after the ever popular, battle proven HWS design. The SU-231/PEQ (Model 553) incorporates many additional features required within the SOPMOD Block 2 program. Features a shorter 4" housing, like the 551.

Eotech Holosights

(HDS) are fully compatible with Generation 1-3 Night Vision devices. A special night vision setting on the M550 series models allows the operative to adjust the intensity of the holographic reticle to eliminate any bloom or saturation effect produced by a too bright reticle and reduces the potential for damaging the image tube of your night vision device. The M550 models mount in front of the night vision system enabling the operative to combine a superior Fast Acquisition Close Quarters Combat (CQC) sight by day with a battle proven night vision system to achieve remarkable night time targeting.Each model comes with a unique NV switch that allows the operator to instantly drop the reticle's brightness to the NV setting, eliminating any halo effect or blooming of the NVD. The night vision contrast ratio is 10,000,000:1 with the NV switch engaged. The operator can then instantly toggle back and forth from the NV to the normal (daylight) mode. The unlimited eye relief and off-axis capabilities of the HWS allow it to be employed with head or helmet mounted NVDs. This cannot be done with any other optical sights. Prior to the advent of the HWS, the only way to aim shoulder weapons when head or helmet mounted night vision was used was with an infrared (IR) laser aimer, which can give away the operator's position if the enemy is employing night vision surveillance. The HWS is a passive weapon optic. The HWS doesn't emit any light signature to give away the operator's position. No muzzle side signature is detectable, even when the NVDs are employed, including the latest, most sophisticated Gen III devices. The reticle pattern can only be viewed by the operator.
