BARNEVELD, Wis.\u00a0–<\/strong>\u00a0American, family-owned Vortex Optics<\/a> was selected by the U.S. Army to produce and deliver up to 250,000 Next Generation Squad Weapons \u2013 Fire Control (NGSW-FC) systems over a 10-year production period, beginning in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Vortex Optics NGSW-FC, dubbed the XM157, was designed and built with the needs of the current and future warfighter in mind. The XM157 – invented, designed and engineered entirely in-house at Vortex\u00ae Headquarters – is a Low Powered Variable Optic (LPVO) with a display overlay, Laser Rangefinder (LRF), ballistic solver, environmental sensors, aiming lasers, digital compass, and wireless communication to provide for seamless connectivity on the battlefield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The XM157 is built around a 1-8×30 LPVO featuring a glass-etched reticle on lenses made entirely in the U.S. The XM157 weighs less than many traditional LPVOs with current weapon mounted LRFs and associated mounts and enables America\u2019s servicemen and women to engage threats quickly and effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With an integrated picatinny base that houses the Vortex\u00ae Active Reticle\u00ae system, the XM157 injects a digitally displayed image into the first focal plane of the optic and allows for intuitive displays to support ballistic drops, reticle shapes and sizes, and additional modes to display way points, identified threats, and fields of fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To account for a rapidly evolving battlefield and a broad range of climates and weather conditions, the optic withstood rigorous drop-testing, extreme hot and cold environments, immersion testing, and tens of thousands of rounds of live-fire testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a clear focus on ease of use, the combined technology enables the XM157 to range a target, send the information to an on-board ballistic solver, gather atmospheric information, and display an illuminated Active Reticle\u00ae corrected aimpoint with wind holds in the user\u2019s sight picture, all in tenths of a second. To provide for flexibility in the field, the XM157 can be controlled via an on-board keypad or a detachable remote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the production period begins, Vortex\u00ae will leverage a talented collective of American aerospace machine shops and American lens manufacturers to supply components to be assembled entirely at Vortex\u00ae Headquarters in Barneveld, Wis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
