DSEi – Wilcox Industries
Thursday, September 12th, 2013The Weapon Video Display from Wilcox is a component of the DUES system Dynamic Universal Engagement System consisting of a Day Optic, a Camera, WVS, Thermal Sight (not shown) and mounting solution. You can easily switch between day and thermal inputs and it essentially turns your thermal sight into a reflex sight.
Designed for use with crew served weapons, it allows you to remote your sights so you can engage targets even from under cover. Additionally, the WVS stabilizes the image even under full auto fire on a M2. The camera can be swung out of the way in the event you want to use the day optic directly.
Wilcox has been manufacturing weapon displays for 8 years and this product is a technology transition from a TSWG program. Over the years they have upgraded the device by improving the daytime use of the backlit screen and integrating multiple reticals. Additionally, there is a bore sight function that allows you to quickly slave the WVS to the actual weapon sight.
DSEi – Trijicon
Thursday, September 12th, 2013The Variable Combat Optical Gunsight from Trijicon unveiled earlier this year will be shipping soon.
It’s a first focal plane optic with two different BDC reticles available. One is a horseshoe dot and the other is a segmented circle. There are currently three different BDCs; 5.56mm, 7.62mm and .300 Blackout. The VCOG relies on a single AA battery offering 700 hours of continuous use on settings 4-6. It’s built to Mil Spec and guarantees 4″ of eye relief regardless of magnification.
Finally, the VCOG offers a unique feature. The Integrated Mounting Adapter is compatible with not only their ACOG mounts but many other commercially available models as well.
DSEi – CTC Defense
Wednesday, September 11th, 2013The MVF-600 is a mil-spec (810-G) modular vertical foregrip. While a standard package consists of a visible or IR laser and 200 lumen light, they also offer modules that provide IR illumination as well as remote tape switching for other weapon accessories such as a PEQ.
As you can see, the modularity is effected by a simple throw lever system.
