The US Army has launched the Prototype Project Opportunity Notice (PPON) procedure aimed at acquiring new optical sights for the M4A1 carbines.

From the US Army's announcement we find out that:

"The DVO will be capable of variable power magnification with minimum magnification of 1.0x with no rounding and maximum magnification greater than or equal to 6.0 power.

Rationale: 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. This allows the Soldier to have both critical capabilities without the limitations of either non magnified or fixed magnification optics."

The army plans to purchase up to 120,000 optical systems for use by unit identified as Close Combat Forces. The future contract will also provide an option to purchase optics for other agencies interested in purchasing them.

The Close Combat Forces are units that will most likely be involved in direct combat against the enemy and include infantry, scouts and sappers as well as support units such as medics.

This is not the first time the US Army is looking for sights with magnification of 1-6x. Last year, SIG Optics TANGO6T was selected as the sight for the H&K G28E/M110A1 Compact Semi-Automatic Sniper System (CSASS), the new US Army DMR rifle.

Will it be the same model as the one selected for the new DMR, or will there be a competitor for the optics of the SIG Sauer company which has recently been gaining many contracts on the arms market?
