The sight is characterized by a compact, angular design and integrated transparent covers of the lenses of the collimator (replaceable in case of damage). They are supposed not to disturb the visibility through the collimator, and allow for quick opening in case of catching dirt.
The sight's lens is 22mm high and 28mm wide, so it offers a large field of view. The set includes a base that places it at the 1/3 co-witness height, i.e. standard iron sights mounted on the same rail should be visible in the lower 1/3 of the lens.
The available reticles are a 2 MOA dot with a 65 MOA circle, just the dot, or just the circle. AEMS can be purchased with a green or red reticle. The power supply is provided by a CR2032 battery, which offers 20,000 hours of continuous operation at the 6th brightness level, using a dot with a circle, or 50,000 hours when using just the dot. These numbers do not take into account additional functions such as automatic adjustment of the brightness level to the environment, or Shake-Awake turning off the collimator after a set time and enabling it when the slightest movement is detected. AEMS offers 12 brightness settings, 8 of which are for daytime use and 4 for night vision.
The solar panel placed on the top of the housing supports the battery operation, it also functions as a light sensor and can also be used as an independent source of energy in the event of battery depletion or damage.
The +/- control buttons are located on the left side of the housing, and the knobs adjusting the position of the reticle are on both sides of the housing. One "click" is an adjustment by 0.5 MOA and the total adjustment range is 50 MOA. The whole set weighs 110 grams and measures 56 x 39 x 43 mm, excluding the mount. The housing is made of 7075 T6 aluminum. The operating temperature range is -20 to +60 degrees Celsius. AEMS meets the IPX8 waterproof standard and stress of up to 1000 (thousand) G.
