EOTech HOLOgraphic Weapon Sight HWS 550 series models - Eotech 552 Tactical Sights and Eotech 550 Tactical Sights are Night Vision Compatible Hologsights!

The Model Eotech 552 HOLOgraphic Weapon Sight (HWS) is fully compatible with all generation levels of night vision intensifier tubes. A special night vision (NV) setting of 551 and 552 EOTech sights allows the operator to immediately drop the brightness intensity of the holographic reticle to eliminate any "halo" effect while viewing through an image intensifier tube. The M550 can be positioned in tandem behind night vision intensifiers without any "bloom" of the target area. Eotech product reviews from our US Army customers have been great! Now Eotech holosight operators can combine the proven night vision technological advantage with a superior close quarters weapon optic to achieve greatly enhanced weapon aiming - in complete darkness.

Unlike active IR laser pointer systems, the 550 HOLOgraphic Weapon Sight (HWS) is a passive system and emits no muzzle-side signature. While in the NV mode, the 550 HOLOgraphic Weapon Sight (HWS) not detectable by enemy night vision surveillance systems, providing operators with a stealth means for effective nighttime weapon aiming.

The M550's unique switch allows the operator to instantly drop the holographic reticle's brightness to the NV mode of operation. The operator has the ability to toggle back and forth between the NV mode and the normal day/night operation within fractions of a second. The EOTech Holographic Sight M550 has 10 distinct night vision settings to provide maximum flexibility to the operator. Typically 3 to 4 brightness settings are not enough to support a host of constantly changing conditions including manufacturing variances in the sensitivities of the image intensifier tubes, varying ambient environments, and varying light gathering sensitivities of the human eye across users. The M550 still maintains the 20 normal brightness settings for normal day/night operations.

The typical configuration is with both the monocular night vision system and the EOTech HOLOgraphic Weapon Sight (HWS) mounted in tandem on the weapon's receiver. Operators can also witness the holographic reticle with head/helmet mounted monocular night vision image intensifier systems, even on a partial cheekweld on the weapon's stock. This allows the operator added flexibility and greater versatility when deploying with night vision systems in the ever changing battlefield environments.

At a distance of 100 yards and a 2? eye relief, the EOTech HOLOgraphic Weapon Sights provide a 35 yard horizontal field of view and 22.5 yards vertically. This equates to an area of roughly 790 square yards. Figure below shows the difference in area between these two optics. In addition, the field of view advantages of the EOTech HWS are even greater when night vision applications arise and the operator must acquire his target with only his dominant eye.

The HOLOgraphic Advantage

The holographic patterns have been designed to be instantly visible in any light, instinctive to center regardless of shooting angle, and to remain in view while sweeping the engagement zone. Reticles of EOTech HOLOgraphic Weapon Sights are designed as large, see-through patterns to achieve lightning quick reticle to target acquisition without covering or obscuring the point of aim.

Heads Up, Full View

The Holographic Weapon Sight (HWS) employs a true Heads-Up Display that eliminates blind spots, constricted vision, or the tunnel vision associated with tubed sights. All user controls are flush to the Holographic Weapon Sight's streamline housing with no protruding knobs, battery compartments or mounting rings blocking vision at the target area. True, 2 eyes open shooting is realized with EOTech HWS. Instant threat identification is achieved by maximizing the operator's peripheral vision and ultimately gaining greater control of the engagement zone.

Please note that all EOTech HOLOgraphic Weapon Sights that we sell are the latest models avaiable described on eotech.com with the latest enhanced electronic circuitry, improved the optical efficiency, button design, and extended battery live - only the best from OpticsPlanet.com!

The Magic of Holography

In holography, all the information required to reconstruct the reticle image is recorded everywhere in the Heads-Up display window. If the window is obstructed by mud, snow, rain, etc., the Holographic Weapon Sight HWS remains fully operational , with point of aim/impact being maintained. Even in such extreme cases where the laminated window is shattered, the Holographic Weapon Sight is fully functional! As long as the operator can see through any portion of the window, the entire reticle pattern is visible on target...the operator can still engage with confidence.
