In addition to the BOSS we mentioned yesterday, Wilcox also introduced the Ruggedized Aiming / Illumination Device at AUSA.
Powered by a single CR123A battery, the Picatinny rail compatible RAID incorporates a red visible laser, IR laser and variable IR illuminator co-aligned with one windage and elevation adjustment. Just what the doctor ordered.
In this photo, you can see the adjustment wheel for the IR flood intensity from low, medium or high.
The Wilcox Black Out Sighting System was designed specifically for use with a suppressed weapon shooting the .300 AAC Blackout cartridge. In addition to a red dot sight with selectability for Sub- and Supersonic ammo, visible laser, IR laser and IR illuminator.
The red-dot is coaligned with the lasers and illiminator and the switch from Sub- to Supersonic is accomplished with the flip of the lever behind the lens. In the photo, you’ll note it’s set to Sub.
The BOSS is powered by a single AA battery.
The Trijicon Machine Gun Reflex Sight has been popping up out there for awhile, but it’s now officially released at AUSA. Think of it as an RMR on steroids.
At 5.22″ tall, 8.78″ long and 4.17″ wide this isn’t some tiny reflex sight. It is 66.9 oz with battery and mount. The glass is 2″ x 3″ and incorprates a 35 MOA segmented circle around a 3 MOA dot reticle. It’s uses a single CR123A, made from 7075-T6 Aluminum and waterproof to 6.6′.
The MGRS offers ranging knobs for the M2 and M240 which can be easily swapped out. For adjustment there is 100 MOA of azimuth and elevation. They are suggesting customers use the AN/PAS-13 mount.
Additionally, they’ve integrated a mounting option for a 3x magnifier into the housing. The magnifier is articulating and can be swung in and out of battery. There are no buttons to push or levers to pull. The magnifier locks into place and it takes a good bit of force to move it from one position to another. It can be mounted to the side Picatinny Rail mounting point. The MGRs sports three of these Pic rail mounting points.
Made in USA!
This is the GLARE RECOIL™ from BE Meyers & Co. This green laser hail and warning system is the sole-source winner for the MARCORSYSCOM Ocular Interrupter (OI) Program ($49M IDIQ), and is also under evaluation for several other US and International programs, including the US Navy Hailing Acoustic Laser & Light Tactical System (HALLTS) program. It is the proven design.
The GLARE RECOIL™ is the only truly eye-safe Escalation of Force laser dazzler for hail and warning, with an NOHD of 0 meters due to the integration of a laser rangefinder into the safety controls of the system. The GLARE RECOIL™ can easily envelope both short-range and long-range target areas through the motorized zoom functions. It is an amazing piece of technology.
This video explains how the GLARE RECOIL differs radically from any other hail and warning system by illustrating how their patented “SmartRange™” technology works. Watch the video at bemeyers.com/media/videos.
SmartRange™ technology identifies the range to target and automatically regulates the power to correspond with output that is safe for that distance. If the target moves, the systems self-regulates power on target accordingly.
Designed for combat applications, the GLARE RECOIL™ incorporates groundbreaking safety technologies in a ruggedized package that performs in demanding land and sea environments, with impactful hail and warning capabilities able to safely alert targets anywhere from 3 meters to beyond 16 kilometers (10 miles).
Law Enforcement, BE Meyers hasn’t forgotten about you. The GLARE HELIOS™ is the Law Enforcement specific version of the GLARE RECOIL™ which provides identical controls in the same compact form factor, with FDA variances approving the GLARE HELIOS™ for use by all Federal, State, and Local Law Enforcement agencies and others meeting specific defense and security criteria.
If you’re going to be at AUSA this week, be sure to stop by BE Meyers & Co (booth #2342) to check out the GLARE RECOIL and MAWL for yourself!
This is video of the IR Patrol XR from IR Defense, a Long-Range Thermal Spotter. Vic DiCosola, head of TNVC related to me that next to a cooled array system, this new XR is the best thermal spotter they’ve used to date. Vic said, “With its front focus lens and the BAE 12um core, the contrast and resolution is stunning!”
TNVC and their sister company NightGoggles (NGI) made this Hi Def hunt video showing just how well the system performs.

Interesting application of an offset BUIS.
This past weekend concluded the 2016 Nightforce Precision Tactical 2 Rifle Match. The match was a success for unveiling and proofing a new match format, one where competitors fire both carbines and precision rifles on the same stages. This was a field match, held across the Coal Canyon area of the NRA Whittington Center. Targets and shooting positions were placed across the natural terrain instead of on a traditional square range.
Competitors fired over 200 rounds of carbine and up to 100 rounds of precision rifle across the 10 stages. Carbine targets ranged from as close as 3 yards to as far as 400 yards. Precision rifle targets ranged between 300 and 890 yards. At the start of each stage, all competitors had to carry their gear and configure their rifles and shooting positions on the clock.
Congratulations to the following shooters on their Top 5 finish:
Collin Fossen – 1st
Tyler Payne – 2nd
Brad Riley – 3rd
Reid Driscoll – 4th
Matt Sweeney – 5th
