Meprolight – a member of the SK Group and an Israeli manufacturer of electro-optical systems, thermal and night vision equipment, and self-illuminated night sights for military, law enforcement, and civil applications – introduces at IWA 2019 exhibition, currently taking place at Nuremberg, Germany, the MEPRO FORESIGHT, the first augmented weapon sight that provides essential tactical data projected right on the transparent optical lens.
The data, projected in real time, includes battery level, sensor data, Bluetooth connectivity and a shot counter (a future software upgrade). It has five present reticles for various tactical scenarios, a built-in compass and an inside leveler to maximize hitting capability. A built-in sensor allows for automatic brightness adjustment.
The MEPRO FORESIGHT integrates with the Meprolight’s mobile APP (Android and iOS) through a Bluetooth interface. The APP allows up to 10 zeroing weapon profiles or user profiles and a digital zeroing mechanism allows the user to upload a present zeroing profile. It features up-to-date and the latest MEPRO FORESIGHT firmware a rich reticle database, plus it allows previously stored profiles from the mobile APP to the sight.
“We are very proud to be the first to introduce the first weapon sight based on AR technology,” says Benny Kokia, VP Marketing and Sales. “The AR technology enables the user to choose the relevant reticle for deferent missions while using the same sight.”
The sight was first introduced to the American market during Shot Show 2019 in Las Vegas.
The MEPRO FORESIGHT augmented weapon sight powered with a USB-C port. The display window dimensions are 33 x 20mm (1.299” x .787”) with an overall dimension of 117 x 60 x 68mm (4.6” x 2.35” x 2.65”) and weighs 280g (9.9 oz.).
