Keep in mind it's still very "prototype" and there's a bunch of functionality to add in the near future, its builders say, but the IRISS optic from eMenu is intriguing in its comprehension.
Keep in mind it's still very "prototype" and there's a bunch of functionality to add in the near future, its builders say, but the IRISS optic from eMenu is intriguing in its comprehension.
The thing weighs less than a pound and runs off of AA batteries. Sitting atop your M4 or M16, the IRISS delivers current position, direction and speed, shot count and, oh yeah, a customized reticule to put that 5.56 round right on target.
In case that wasn't enough, the whole thing also incorporates a radio transmitter so you can tell your squad leaders where you are and where you're going.
It's a bit clunky in its current form, but as eMenu engineers admit, the version you see next year won't even be close to what you're seeing now.
