It\u2019s meant our emergence as a leader in the sport optics industry. It\u2019s allowed us to provide our customers the tools they need to pursue and protect what matters most in their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But starting today, our dedication to innovation means something even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re honored to announce that the US Army \u2013 PM Soldier Lethality awarded Vortex\u00ae an agreement to deliver the Next Generation Squad Weapon-Fire Control (NGSW-FC) Production Ready Prototypes for Soldier TouchPoint (STP) evaluations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a direct-view optic, the 1-8\u00d730 Active Reticle\u2122 Fire Control provides everything you\u2019d expect from a variable-power, first focal plane riflescope. When augmented with an overlaid digital display, however, it provides features unheard of in a traditional small arms fire control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs a veteran-owned, non-traditional defense contractor, it\u2019s very important to us that we listen to warfighters,\u201d said Sam Hamilton, Chief Technical Officer at Vortex Optics. \u201cWhen we learned of the soldier\u2019s need for increased lethality out of their squad weapons\u2014combined with the Small Arms Ammunition Configuration (SAAC) study, which proved that advancements in electro-optical fire control had the greatest potential to increase soldier\u2019s lethality\u2014we knew there was an important capability gap we could fill.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"663\" height=\"484\" title=\"Vortex Awarded OTA for Army\u2019s Next Gen Squad Weapon Fire Control Prototype Program\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/VortexArmyNextGen.jpg\" alt=\"Vortex Awarded OTA for Army\u2019s Next Gen Squad Weapon Fire Control Prototype Program\" class=\"wp-image-127598\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/VortexArmyNextGen.jpg 663w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/VortexArmyNextGen-400x292.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/VortexArmyNextGen-150x110.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 663px) 100vw, 663px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Vortex Optics 1-8\u00d730 Active Reticle\u2122 Fire Control is built around a revolutionary technology based on many years of internal research and development, along with multiple cooperative development efforts with the Army\u2019s PM-Soldier Weapons group. The end result is Active Reticle\u2122, which has been proven to increase hit percentage and decrease time to engage during US Army Soldier touchpoints over the last two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even in the case of a battery power loss, soldiers are left with an uncompromised 1-8x, direct-view optic and glass-etched reticle exceeding current capability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hamilton said, \u201cBy combining a unity power 1-8x direct view optic utilizing a first focal plane, etched reticle, a 1km capable laser rangefinder, state of the art on-board ballistic engine, atmospheric sensor suite, and programmable active matrix micro-display overlaid onto the first focal plane, Active Reticle\u2122 delivers a true multi-mission fire control enabling everything from CQB to designated marksmanship at the extents of the NGSW\u2019s effective range.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the soldier in the field, that means the freedom to devote their entire focus downrange. Hamilton said, \u201cEnd-users will no longer need to leave their field of view to consult separate rangefinders or ballistic calculators, slowing them down and compromising their situational awareness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">***<a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/\" campaign=\"BuySellGA_Register\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a>***<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019re honored to announce that the US Army \u2013 PM Soldier Lethality awarded Vortex\u00ae an agreement to deliver the Next Generation Squad Weapon-Fire Control (NGSW-FC) Production Ready Prototypes for Soldier TouchPoint (STP) evaluations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":115,"featured_media":127597,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[243,1803,240],"tags":[132,335,1802,2478],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-127596","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-military","8":"category-news-wire","9":"category-this-week","10":"tag-buzz","11":"tag-military","12":"tag-news-wire","13":"tag-vortex-optics"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Vortex Awarded OTA for Army\u2019s Next Gen Squad Weapon Fire Control Prototype Program<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"US Army awarded Vortex an agreement to deliver the Next Gen.
