The HOLOgraphic
Advantage
The holographic patterns have been designed to be instantly visible in any
light, instinctive to center regardless of shooting angle, and to remain in
view while sweeping the engagement zone. Reticles are designed as large, see-through
patterns to achieve lightning quick reticle to target acquisition
without covering or obscuring the point of aim.
Heads Up, Full View
The HDS employs a true Heads-Up Display that eliminates blind spots, constricted
vision, or the tunnel vision associated with tubed sights. All user
controls are flush to the HDS's streamline housing with no protruding knobs,
battery compartments or mounting rings blocking vision at the target
area. True, 2 eyes open shooting is realized. Instant threat identification
is achieved by maximizing the operator's peripheral vision and ultimately
gaining
greater control of the engagement zone.
The Magic of Holography
In holography, all the information required to reconstruct the reticle image
is recorded everywhere in the Heads-Up display window. If the window
is obstructed by mud, snow, rain, etc., the HDS remains fully operational
, with point of aim/impact being maintained. Even in such extreme cases where
the laminated window is shattered, the HDS is fully functional! As long as
the operator can see through any portion of the window, the entire reticle
pattern
is visible on target...the operator can still engage with confidence.
Electronic Features
The HDS uses state-of-the-art digital electronics design. Twenty brightness
levels ensure proper brightness control in either low light or very bright
sunlight. An on-board microprocessor provides automatic battery check indicator,
up/down brightness scrolling and programmable auto shutdown
features. All electronics are fully encapsulated in shock absorbing resin
compound.
