SOFIC 2014 – L3 Integrated Optical Systems

Wednesday, May 21st, 2014

Pittsburgh-based L3 Integrated Optical Systems showed me their new Long-Range Sniper System which is like an optic on steroids. They’ve taken a popular commercial off- the-shelf 4×22 optic and integrated laser range finder, temperature, MEMS cant and incline sensors. The base optic’s etched reticle is still there so even if your electronics go down, you’ll be able to effectively engage targets.

The LSS integrates algorithms for M24, M110, M40, XM2010 and M107.
Naturally, all of that additional data being integrated right at the optic is going to increase the probability of first round hits. But, the shooter will still need basic marksmanship skills such as breathing and trigger control.

SOFIC 2014 – CORE Survival’s New HEL-STAR F2

Tuesday, May 20th, 2014

The new HEL-STAR F2 is a indent iffy friend or foe light system. Based on the footprint of the HEL-STAR 6 strobe, it consists of a field programmable strobe light and User Feedback Module Buzzer Pad. The UFM is attached by a removable cable to the strobe and when the strobe is interrogated by an IR laser, the UFM buzzes giving a silent, yet tactile alert. That let’s you know that friendlies are in the area. In testing, the system has detected IR Lasers at 800m. The UFM can be placed anywhere in the helmet for comfort.
