The one-piece
eyelens provides a
feld oF view that is
at least 80 percent
greater than what
Soldiers had with
the M40. This lets
Soldiers see more
without having to
turn their heads,
which means better
target detection,
enemy identifcation,
hit probability,
and situational
awareness.
The urethane
eyelens itselF won’t
yellow as easily as
the M40’s and is
much more resistant
to contaminants
and scratching.
The polynomial spline visor creates a better interFace
with sights like the M68 close combat optic, which lets
Soldiers engage targets with both eyes open.
That helps Soldiers both
hit the target and
maintain situational awareness.
