A Brief History of the Design and Success of the Wilcox Grenadier Sighting System [GSS]

In 2012, Wilcox began the design and development of the US Army GSS day/night sighting system for the M320/M320A1 grenade launcher (GL).  After over a decade of design refinement, development, developmental, V&V testing, operational testing, lessons learned, continuous improvement, and ongoing production in conjunction with the US Army, the GSS was confirmed to simply be the most accurate, user friendly, forward upgradeable, and heavily tested day/night sight for the M320/M320A1 GL in the world.

That was just the beginning of the long-term commitment between Wilcox and the US Army to design and manufacture the utmost advanced 40mm sighting systems available.  Prototypes of the GSS then went through three years of further extensive development, testing and evaluation in a competitive contract environment.  At the end, in June 2019, the US Army chose to purchase tens of thousands of GSS units (NSN: 1010-01-686-8798) with Wilcox as a single production awardee.

Like the GSS, the RAAM-GSS™ has proven to increase hit probability by significantly enhancing daytime and nighttime grenadier accuracy, simultaneously decreasing target engagement time, and is gaining user acceptance.

BOSS Xe: ENABLING OPERATORS WITH MULTI-DEVICE CAPABILITY & CUSTOMIZATION

The BOSS Xe is the culmination of  leading-edge development and advancements in technology driven by operator feedback. The result is a compact, ergonomic, laser aiming-sighting system that is ideal for short barrel weapon platforms with the ability to change from one preset impact point to another on the fly.

EASE TO USE, MULTI-DEVICE CAPABILITY

The BOSS Xe unique windage and elevation adjustments allow operators to easily set zeroes for the entire optical bench with minimal adjustments, reducing the operator’s time spent zeroing. The BOSS Xe essentially provides operators with two devices worth of optics on one co-aligned optical bench, freeing up valuable rail space on short barrel weapon platforms.

NETWORKED COMBAT OPERATIONS 

Leveraging BTAC, developed with our partner Blueforce Technologies, the BOSS Xe’s onboard maintenance counter monitors rounds fired from the weapon and can share data in real-time. BTAC (BlueforceTACTICAL) is an extensible situational awareness mobile application that enables real-time monitoring of teams and fuses sensor data (attached or proximate sensors) to provide real-time location and sensor data sharing. The BOSS Xe’s Bluetooth capability allows for future customization to support networked combat operations.

OPERATOR DEFINED FUNCTIONALITY

Wilcox has extended the BOSS Xe’s capabilities with the ERGOTCO Xe Activation Keypad. This enhancement removes the need of the operator to memorize device switch positions by allowing user defined mapping of critical functions. The 3 control buttons on the pressure pad are ergonomically designed to allow for accurate button identification. The ambidextrous design allows attachment on either side of the weapon, including positioning in between the quad rails of rifle handguards. The ergonomic design and user defined button mapping functionality allow for identification of each button without looking at the control pad, providing a constant “heads up, eyes out” posture. Longer range engagements can be achieved with the Wilcox 3X Magnifier.

CONCLUSION

Military and law enforcement including special forces and SWAT require connectivity, personalization, and varying degrees of visibility to overcome unique challenges in combat environments that require maximum discretion. The BOSS Xe’s multi-function attributes are focused on providing operator’s flexibility and customization to minimize engagement times, optimal target acquisition and engagement, and overall mission success.

BOSS Xe: PROVIDING OPERATORS WITH ENHANCED VISIBILITY & PERSONALIZATION

The BOSS Xe [Ballistically Optimized Sighting System – Enhanced] is the culmination of  leading-edge development and advancements in technology driven by operator feedback. The result is a compact, ergonomic, laser aiming-sighting system that is ideal for short barrel weapon platforms with the ability to change from one preset impact point to another on the fly. The BOSS Xe has a unique optical bench that achieves the highest standard of performance while giving the operator tremendous tactical flexibility. 

ENHANCED OPERATOR VISIBILITY & BEAM CLARITY

The BOSS Xe provides a full package optical bench (IR aiming laser, IR illuminator, VIS laser, IR Room illuminator, Reflex Sign & Iron Sight). An Above-the-Rail IR Room illuminator improves target visibility and provides proper IR lighting for Close Quarters Battle (CQB) offering non-blooming with a very wide angle. Wilcox has positioned the room illuminator function into the “bottom” of the IR illuminator steps, keeping similar functions together. This allows for easy, fast transition for “far” illumination to “close” illumination giving operators flexibility while illuminating areas and potential targets at different ranges. 

Light quality is always a discriminating factor in operator reaction time. By advancing and pushing the capabilities of VCSEL laser technology, the BOSS Xe provides the operator with a true advantage over other sighting systems. Achieving this high level of beam clarity improves both situational awareness and on-the-move reaction time allowing for optimal target identification and engagement. 


PERSONALIZATION [SOUND & LIGHT CONTROL]

The BOSS Xe allows the operator to utilize the integrated trajectory selection switch to be used during supersonic and subsonic ammunition changes for example, while also allowing for two separate point-of-aim, point-of-impact, when being used with different calibers all without the need of re-zeroing. This capability provides the operator ultimate control of their sound signature per mission parameters when using both super and subsonic ammunition. The ability to have two zeros allows the operator to maintain accuracy while shooting, thus making them more lethal [more rounds on target] and able to conserve ammunition [fewer rounds needed to neutralize targets]. The Red Dot reticle selection for preferred target picture, with on-the-fly adjustable brightness, allows operators to set it to their preference including night vision compatible levels and reduce their light emission. The BOSS Xe gives the operator full control to personalize their signature and meet mission requirements.
