Plymouth, MI (August 1, 2022) – EOTECH is pleased to announce the Des Moines Police Department has adopted the BinoNV night-vision goggle for use in SWAT and special operations. DMPD is the largest and most urban law enforcement agency in the state of Iowa with over 370 sworn officers.
In January of 2022, EOTECH launched a full line of customized, military-grade night vision devices and thermal imagers for distribution and service to US and select international markets.
“We are extremely honored that the Des Moines Police Department selected the BinoNV as their dedicated night-vision goggle solution,” said John Parra, Law Enforcement Manager for EOTECH. “This selection, along with other agencies across the country, validates the incredible quality, ruggedness and performance our new line of night-vision and thermal products provides.”
The EOTECH BinoNV is a cutting-edge, compact, lightweight night-vision goggle built to full MIL-SPEC standards. Binocular systems offer better depth perception than single tube systems making them preferred for navigating on foot or by vehicle and interacting with the environment.
Plymouth, MI (June 2022) – EOTECH, inventor and original manufacturer of Holographic technology for use on military, LE, hunting, and consumer firearms, has been awarded a follow up SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) contract for the development of a dual-color holographic head-up display for increased situational awareness and targeting in military aircraft.
This Phase II contract funds further development to produce a system that allows more information to be acquired faster without obscuring the pilot field of view, which leads to efficient decisions and reduced cognitive load on the end-user. Commercially, the developed technology may adapt to existing firearm weapon sights, and could provide customers with new functionality, such as overlaying waypoints or caliber data onto their field of view.
“We are extremely proud to have received this Phase II contract and are excited to continue developing this technology into a solution that enhances the performance of our pilots,” said Dennis Finnegan, President of EOTECH GOV. “EOTECH has been at the forefront of holography, dating back to the 1950’s, and has dedicated its existence to providing tools and technology that improve the performance and increase the safety of our warfighters.”
The SBIR program is intended to support scientific excellence and technological innovation that is moving from the lab to the market. Investing federal
