USSOCOM Selects Trijicon RMR Type 2 for its handguns

The Trijicon RMR Type 2 red dot sight has been chosen by NSWC Crane Division for USSOCOM for its Miniature Aiming System − Day Optics Program, or “MAS-D." The $7.6 million contract is for a five year period.

According to a release from the Michigan-based optics company, work on the RMR (Ruggedized Miniature Reflex) Type 2 for Special Operations Command will be accomplished there in Wixom, Michigan. Work is expected to conclude by August of 2023.

The Trijicon RMR Type 2 utilizes an electronic design that "... bolsters durability and performance in the most punishing environments and extends the functionality of the red dot sight. "

“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 release continues:

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. The RMR Type 2 is compatible with existing RMR mounts and optics-ready pistols.

Trijicon is proud to count among its users all the United States Military Services, including Special Operations Forces, the United States Government, state and local Law Enforcement and many of America’s allies.
