L3 to deliver optics to USSOCOM
L3 Technologies has received a contract from the US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) to provide close-quarters sights and clip-on magnifiers for the Miniature Aiming System-Day Optics suite, the company announced on 16 January.
Under the $26.3 million, five-year IDIQ contract, L3 Technologies will deliver an updated model holographic weapon sight and the G33 clip-on magnifier from its EOTech brand.
Jeff Miller, corporate senior vice president and president of the ISR systems business segment which includes EOTech, said: ‘We are extremely proud to continue to provide America’s tip-of-the-spear warriors with the most advanced holographic sights in the world. It’s a testament to L3’s commitment to quality that USSOCOM has once again competitively selected EOTech as their choice for battle optics.’
