1.2 Key Attributes
The XPS3 HWS® is a lightweight, non-magnifying, optical sight designed for Close Quarter
Battle. It allows very fast target acquisition and engagement at short ranges while provid-
ing aiming capability out to 300 meters equal to or better than iron sights.
The major combat advantage of the HWS® is extremely rapid reticle-on-target acquisition.
As quickly as a target is identified, the holographic reticle can be superimposed on the
target. The sight allows operators to maintain eye contact on the target and to place the
holographic reticle onto the target without shifting focus. Operators can quickly acquire
the target and reticle in the same focal plane for fast and accurate shot placement.
The HWS® appears to project the holographic image of a reticle on the target plane. The
sight can be used as a bright open reticle image or a fine dot which is limited only by the
acuity of the shooter’s eye. The reticle pattern is parallax free and the holographic heads up
display window allows an undistorted and unrestricted view of the target.
The XPS3 is offered with one of the following (3) reticle options (see fig. 1):
•
0- 65 minute ring with vertical and horizontal stadia and a 1 MOA aiming
dot.
•
1- Single 1 MOA aiming dot (no outer ring)
•
2- 65 minute ring with vertical and horizontal stadia and (2) 1 MOA aiming
dots
