Wixom, Mich. (January 16, 2017) — Trijicon® has been a leader in developing superior "any-light" aiming systems since the company's founding in 1981, and with the launch of the new Electro Optics Division is now poised to lead the industry in "no-light" aiming systems. The new EO Division features a complete lineup of thermal imaging monoculars, helmet sights, rifle sights and clip-on sights.

"Trijicon is committed to providing Brilliant Aiming Solutions™ to our customers around the world," said Stephen Bindon, Trijicon President and CEO. "The night vision market continues to grow at a phenomenal pace and the acquisition of IR Defense Corp., gives us a very unique opportunity to enter this market by providing thermal imaging products to end-users across the spectrum. We see an opportunity to invest in and grow the business while providing strategic technology to Trijicon."

Unlike the more common image intensification systems that collect light, Trijicon's Electro Optics utilize thermal technology that captures the heat emitted from objects and produces superior clarity and detection. Using the MicroIR™ thermal core that features a 12-micron detector and a clean 640x480 imagery at 60 Hz frame rate, Trijicon thermal sights present best-in-class image quality.

Trijicon Electro Optics feature three modes of white hot and three modes of black hot so you can identify your targets in most any condition. Plus, Trijicon offers EDGE DETECT Mode, an entirely new way to view your target with more precision. It uses a fraction of the brightness of other modes, so your eyes are not as prone to night blindness from the screen. Products in the Trijicon Electro Optics line include:

IR-PATROL Thermal Monocular – Handheld, helmet-mounted or rifle-mounted systems. Can be placed in front of a day optic as a clip-on for 24-hour tactical usage.

IR-HUNTER Thermal Riflescope – 8x digital electronic zoom, 60 Hz frame-rate system and MIL Spec digital OLED micro display for crisp, precise imagery. Four versions to fit nearly every need.

SNIPE-IR Thermal Clip-On – Designed to become one with your optical day sight, both on the battlefield and the hunting field. Supreme versatility to work well with a wide range of day optics, but optimized for use in front of the 4x32 ACOG.

REAP-IR Mini Thermal Riflescope – 12-degree field-of-view, 2.5x optical magnification, 60 Hz frame rate system and 640x480 resolution with a 12-micron thermal core for industry leading image quality. All in a small, rugged package tested to MIL-STD-810G methods and procedures.
