Sneak Peek | RAID-X from WILCOX
First introduced during SHOT Show last month, Wilcox Industries newest aiming device comes in a slim fit looking design but offers the end-user a lot of functions. Will there be a civil version of the RAID-X,… maybe! Read more below.
The RAID-X (Ruggedized Aiming/Illumination Device) offers smaller, lighter and superior performance. Powered by one (1) CR123 3V battery, the RAID-X features a red or green visible laser, near infrared (NIR) laser, NIR room Illuminator and variable NIR illuminator all co-aligned with one windage and elevation adjustment.
In addition to size and weight reduction, the RAID-X boasts ultimate beam clarity and uniformity aiding in target identification and situational awareness. The RAID-X power settings for lasers and illuminators are totally adjustable on the fly to end users preference and can be fine tuned together or individually to set the desired brightness in each mode. Once the settings are chosen they are automatically saved and stored until further changes are made.
Ergonomically located controls allow for full ambidextrous operation and ease of use. The NIR illuminator focus wheel provides rapid adjustment of beam divergence for various distances and mission requirements. An easy to read OLED display provides key information/mode status with automatic or manual brightness control and can be completely covered to eliminate unwanted light signature via sliding display shroud.
The RAID-X securely mounts low-profile to 1913 style picatinny rails using two shock nuts, without interfering with optics or iron sights, providing improved laser bore sight retention. Rated for use on multiple weapon systems.
