Electro Optics, like other weapon-based technologies, continue to improve to keep up with the ever-changing tactical challenges facing today’s operators. When selecting the proper accessories for your weapon system, you must select accessories that offer the most effective options available and enhance your ability to adapt to unknown and rapidly changing circumstances.

As an end user your situational awareness is all too often limited to your ability to rapidly adapt to the environment at hand. Your weapon system is your key to engagement tempo and resulting lethality. To enhance that capability, visualize a next generation fire control system equipped with an “always dependable” hard fixed metal sight, a fully integrated Red Dot Reflex Sight, visible and NIR IR Aiming and Flood lasers, as well as the ability to connect to a tactical white light.  A fire control system with the ability to keep zero when switching from supersonic to subsonic ammunition, even when the rifle is suppressed. An advanced system with the ability to connect you to a rapidly formed network confederation of operators, sensors, information services and weapons platforms.

The Wilcox BOSS Xe (Ballistically Optimized Sighting System – Enhanced) is that vision. From the design inception focused on Size, Weight, Power and Cost (SWaP-C) to maximize both tactical and overall unit value, it features a small lightweight reflex sight, red visible laser, infra-red (IR) laser and fixed IR illuminator. The BOSS Xe is truly unique allowing the operator to shoot two preset ballistic trajectories with the flip of a switch without having to re-zero the weapon. This is achieved by co-aligning the reflex sight to the lasers and illuminator which all reside on our patented trajectory switch design. Powered by one (1) CR123A battery, this lightweight “power miser” system delivers repeatable accuracy you can’t find with any other fire control system in the world today.

The BOSS Xe comes equipped with Bluetooth installed and brings the power of networked operations into your hands. The tie-in allows the system to sync to a dedicated BlueForce App (Blueforce Tactical or ‘BTAC’) enabling networked connectivity able to provide information services and targeting data in real-time, providing actionable information for system operation, engagement data, weapon system maintenance status and overall weapon system status. These advances in the Wilcox BOSS Xe Laser Aiming Device are directly proportional to significant increases in user effectiveness and lethality.  

Always focused on continuous improvement and a commitment to provide our customers with the most capable electro optics and laser technology available anywhere in the world today, Wilcox has made significant investments in growing our facility capacity, state of the art design tools, advanced prototyping and manufacturing capability, networked operations, and our professional employee team. Adding proprietary metal additive manufacturing machines, advanced milling machines and our own diamond turning machines all aligned within our strict process control measures, Wilcox’s optical engineers can design and manufacture the finest components which further enhance our line of laser optics. These investments in our infrastructure allow Wilcox to deliver superior, highly sophisticated optics.
