1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 General Information
This manual is an overview of the SU-231/PEQ (M553), M552, and the M551
Holographic Weapon Sights (HWS) or Reflex Sight, and will define the basic
operation, features/benefits, and options of this proprietary optical system. The Reflex
Sight is a state of-the-art optical sighting system, employing holographic sighting
technology for small to medium caliber weaponry and launching type platforms. The
Reflex Sight utilizes holographic optics fabrication technology that is used in the
production of advanced heads up display in attack fighter aircraft for targeting, gauge
reading, weapon system verification, etc. L-3 EOTech has miniaturized the
sophisticated sighting heads up display system into a compact and rugged package
for use on small arms and other weapon platforms.
