What It Feels Like to Shoot With the Military’s Experimental Smart Scope...SPI Uses eMagin Displays in Their Thermal Weapons Sights



This Computational Weapon Optic has to be the reason that TrackingPoint has made no inroads with the military apart from a dozen or so PGFs purchased for testing. And I believe this scope similarly is bad news for Kopin's as of yet unreleased PATS System. Attributes of the Scope outlined in SPI link.

 SPI CORP is engineering a computational weapon optic system for the DARPA TransApps CWO Program that will revolutionize modern warfare by providing highly advanced thermal imaging & night vision capabilities as well as maximum situational & orientational awareness for the modern military operator.  The system is slated to be ultra rugged and shock resistant, waterproof and have long range capabilities beyond the current thermal imaging technologies available on the market today.  The program is on track to literally “change the scope of modern warfare” with SPI’s innovative leadership combined with DARPA resources and will undoubtedly pave the way for further enhancements down the line to support our Armed Forces nobly.
