Combat Optics
Abstract
Combat Optics is a program that provides for research and development, as well as, ammunition to support testing and assessment of optical systems and implementation of modifications for these systems, as well as, life-cycle management efforts. The research and development of future capabilities include, but are not limited to variable power day optics and fused/multi-spectral (e.g., combined image intensifier, thermal imaging, and short wave infrared) optical and laser systems. The Squad Aiming Laser (SAL) will provide a complimentary aiming solution with the Squad Binocular Night Vision Goggle to increase the engagement ranges and probability of first round hits out to 300m and beyond. Combat Optics is also assessing systems and technologies applicable to Long Range multi-spectral systems to support sensor development for handheld and weapon mounted optics.
