SIG Sauer Electro-Optics awarded US Army DVO Contract.

With an impressive 4 out of 5 SIG Sauer divisions now awarded large military contracts, SIG Sauer’s Electro-Optics division is pushing the envelope of innovation.

While there has yet to be an official statement by SIG SAUER, details for the award can be found at SAM.gov. SIG Sauer’s Oregon-based Electro-Optics Division has been awarded the US Army’s DVO (Direct View Optic) contract valued at over 77 Million US Dollars.

With the exception of their AIR division, SIG now has government-related contracts for the prime divisions of the company including firearms, optics, and ammunition. SIG Sauer US Army Contract is one of the largest and with the complexity and costs associated with optics, this contract is on-par with the M17 win.

“Soldiers are officially getting a brand new rifle optic.
JARED KELLEROCT 7, 2020 1:32 PM EDT

Army Contract Command has awarded a follow-on production contract to Sig Sauer to furnish the service with a Direct View Optic (DVO), a fresh accessory that will allow soldiers to quickly switch between 1x and 6x magnification, in contrast to the fixed magnification standard on the existing Rifle Combat Optic.

Army units currently deploy with a combination of the RCO for targets at roughly 500 meters and the Close Combat Optic (CCO) for targets at 300 meters, as Military.com previously reported. With the DVO, soldiers would be able to target enemy fighters with remarkable accuracy at ranges of up to 600 meters.

“Variable power magnification optics combine the capabilities of the non-magnified optic’s ability to engage close quarter targets with a fixed-magnification optic’s ability to detect, recognize, identify, and precisely engage targets at extended ranges,” according to the DVO solicitation that the Army issued in August 2019.
