Plymouth, MI (July 2026) \u2013 EOTECH, a division of American Holoptics and leader in advanced electro-optic sighting systems, today announced the recent sale of its OGL\u00ae (On-Gun Laser) systems, HWS\u00ae (Holographic Weapon Sights), and compatible magnifiers to the U.S. Army, totaling 14,000 units. The procurement was executed through multiple Transformation in Contact (TiC) buys to directly support the PAE Maneuver Ground portfolio\u2019s surrogate optics project for M7, XM8 Carbine, and M250 Automatic Rifle.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This delivery provides critical day\/night aiming, illumination, and engagement capabilities to Soldiers participating in the surrogate optics evaluation. The EOTECH systems include the rugged, combat-proven OGL for visible and infrared laser performance, industry-leading holographic sights for rapid target acquisition, and high-performance magnifiers\u2014enabling enhanced lethality, improved positive identification, situational awareness, and operational flexibility in diverse and austere environments.<\/p>\n
\u201cEOTECH is proud to support the U.S. Army\u2019s modernization efforts by delivering reliable, high-performance optics that meet the demanding requirements of today\u2019s warfighters,\u201d said Tod Litt; VP of Business Development-Intl\/Govt for EOTECH. \u201cThese TiC acquisitions allow the Army to rapidly field advanced surrogate solutions, gather real-world Soldier feedback, and inform future requirements for a more sustainable and effective optics program across the force while replacing obsoleted systems currently being employed. We remain committed to American-made innovation that gives our Soldiers the decisive edge.\u201d<\/p>\n
The surrogate optics initiative for M7, XM8 Carbine, and M250 Automatic Rifle under PAE Maneuver Ground represents a key component of the Army\u2019s accelerated acquisition strategy. By leveraging rapid procurement pathways like the TiC, the Army can efficiently evaluate technologies, mitigate risk, and accelerate the delivery of next-generation capabilities to maintain overmatch.<\/p>\n
EOTECH\u2019s holographic weapon sights and associated systems have a long history of trusted service with U.S. and allied forces. These latest deliveries underscore the company\u2019s ongoing role in equipping America\u2019s warfighters with cutting-edge tools designed for extreme durability, speed, and precision while proving that EOTECH\u2019s capacity can scale quickly and efficiently to meet dynamic demand required of the U.S. Army.<\/p>\n
