- Holographic Sight
- Illuminated 65 MOA Circle / 1 MOA Dot Reticle
- Powered by 2 AA Batteries
- Mil-Std 1913 Picatinny Mount
EOTech's holographic technology employs a laser to create a virtual image of a reticle pattern in the heads-up display window. The reticle's pattern is embedded in the window - there is absolutely no light projected onto the target plane.
The HWS ensures significant gains in speed upon initial weapon presentation, and target-to-target shot placement. Seemingly effortless follow-up shots can be executed with unprecedented speed and accuracy. When deployed in CQB environments, the EOTech allows maximum peripheral vision by allowing the operator to take full advantage of a heads-up and both-eyes-open sighting technique.
The EOTech HWS has been standardized by the DEA, ATF and FBI SWAT. Because the HWS employs a true heads-up display it is a leading choice of military units like Stryker Brigade, 10th Mountain, and 3rd Infantry. The HWS eliminates the blind spots, constricted vision, and tunnel vision that is associated with standard tubular sighting systems. It is battle-proven to withstand the abuse from harsh environments, high-powered weapon platforms, and the toughest military missions.
The 555.A65 HWS is a variant of the 553 HWS that operates on a pair of AA batteries. The integral dual A.R.M.S. throw-lever mount is compatible with Mil-Std 1913 Picatinny systems. The base has a 7.0 mm rise to accommodate handguards. The entire unit is submersible to a depth of 66.0', and its reticle is configured with a 65 MOA circle and a 1 MOA aiming dot. Additionally, The 555.A65 is compatible with night vision devices (generations 1-3) - the holographic system provides 10 brightness levels for use with NVDs.
