Ann Arbor, MI - L-3 EOTech reaches another great milestone in the company’s ten year history, by producing over 400,000 sights for the United States Armed Forces, local and Federal Law Enforcement, hunters and competitive shooters. EOTech is the exclusive manufacturer and world leader of holographic sighting systems for small arms, and is dedicated to continually producing high quality, battle tested products for our servicemen and women.
In 1996, EOTech debuted their holographic sighting technology to be used in sport shooting and hunting applications to increase target accuracy and speed of target acquisition. The Holographic Weapon Sight (HWS) uses patented technology to provide the user a parallax free sighting device that is nearly indestructible. The HWS removes some of the complexities from targeting and allows the aiming process to become almost instinctive and reflexive.
After winning the “Optic of the Year Award” from the Shooting Industry Academy of Excellence, EOTech later introduced their military and law enforcement HWS in 2001. Since then, the HWS has been standardized by US Special Operations Command (SOCOM), FBI, DEA, State Department, US Border Patrol, Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE), NYPD, LAPD, Texas State Police, and many international special operations forces, just to name a few.
In 2005 EOTech was acquired by L-3 Communications. L-3 Communications is a prime contractor in Command, Control and Communications, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C3ISR), Government Services, Aircraft Modernization and Maintenance (AM&M) and has the broadest base of Specialized Products in the industry. L-3 is also a major provider of homeland defense products and services for a variety of emerging markets.
EOTech sights are a high quality product recognized by military and law enforcement agencies, as well as many commercial users, evidenced by 400,000 sights in use to date. The company is looking forward to reaching another milestone in the coming year. For more information please visit their website at www.l-3com.com/eotech or call 1-734-741-8868.
