Trijicon released an announcement that U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) has selected the RMR Type 2 for a five-year contract. Here's what Trijicon stated in a press release: Wixom, MI, (September 4, 2018) – Trijicon®, Inc., global provider of innovative aiming solutions for the hunting, shooting, military and law enforcement markets is pleased to announce the selection of the Trijicon RMR (Ruggedized Miniature Reflex) Type 2 by NSWC Crane Division for the USSOCOM Miniature Aiming System – Day Optics Program. The contract is for a five-year period. Work will be performed in Wixom, Michigan, and is expected to be completed by August 2023. “Trijicon is honored and extremely pleased to win this contract,” said John Rupp, Vice President of Business Development. “This selection is a testament to the rugged durability of Trijicon optics and the RMR Type 2 will provide outstanding performance to USSOCOM.” The Trijicon RMR® Type 2 deploys a new electronics design that bolsters durability and performance in the most punishing environments and extends the functionality of the red dot sight. The updated electronics and battery contacts increase reliability under the harshest use and stiffest recoil. The CR2032 lithium battery lasts up to four years in the Adjustable LED model at mid-setting. Audible and tactile windage and elevation adjustments allow for quick and easy zeroing with no need for special tools or devices.
