After extensive testing of various optical sights, US Special Operations Command has standardized on the HWS as its 1X weapon optic for close quarter, urban combat zones. To meet the stringent requirements set and demanded by our elite fighting forces, L-3 EOTech has developed the SU-231/PEQ (Model 553), modeled after the ever popular, battle proven HWS design.The SU-231/PEQ (Model 553) incorporates many additional features required within the SOPMOD Block 2 program.
Standardized as the weapon sight of choice by America's warrior elite, the US Special Operations Command.

EOTECH - SPEED. ACCURACY. VICTORY.
About EOTECH:
L-3 EOTech, Inc. develops and manufactures products that leverage its advance electro-optics technologies. The advanced holographic weapon sight produced by L-3 EOTech has revolutionized electronic sighting technology and is being adopted rapidly by the elite units in the military and law enforcement agencies around the world as their preferred and standard close quarter battle (CQB) optic for small arms. When used in CQB, this revolutionary weapon optic delivers amazing speed and accuracy gains as well as uncompromising use of peripheral vision.
The Holographic Advantage:
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 HWS remains fully operational, with point of aim/impact being maintained. Even in such extreme cases where the front window is shattered, the HWS is fully functional and the zero is maintained! 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!
Battle Proven:
The HWS has been designed and tested to provide consistent, reliable performance, even in the most hostile operating environments. The HWS is waterproof (submersible), fog-proof, shock-proof, and withstands extreme temperature variations. The HWS meets military drop test requirements with no functional degradation to the weapon optic and holds zero to within 2 MOA! Every HWS is extensively tested in a punishing recoil simulator generating 2,000 G's of acceleration in less than 1.0 millisecond.
Heads Up, Full View:
Engagement with two eyes open is a must. The HWS 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 HWS's streamlined housing with no protruding knobs, battery compartments or mounting rings that block the shooters vision of the target area. True, two 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 end result - operators achieve maximum situational awareness.
No Revealing Signature:
The HWS is a passive weapon optic and does not emit any muzzle side, position revealing light signature. The projected reticle pattern is visible only to the operator. Even Gen III night vision equipment cannot detect muzzle side signature of the operator's position. The result - the operator remains absolutely undetectable in any operating environment.
No Reticle Washout:
The HWS's 30 brightness settings (10 settings in NV mode) ensure the holographic reticle can be instantly viewed in ALL types of lighting environments, cluttered backgrounds and target colors. The HWS delivers an impressive 50,000,000:1 bright to low reticle contrast ratio to ensure the reticle is always clearly viewable. Reticles can be easily seen against white targets in full sunlight - even in desert or tundra environments. With the HWS, there are no reticle "wash out" conditions as seen in red dot sighting systems. For extreme low light conditions, engaging the HWS's night vision mode allows the reticle pattern to be viewed in tandem with the most advanced night vision systems on the market today. The 30 brightness settings provide the operator the flexibility to adjust for optimal conditions in today's ever changing battlefields.
