The RAID Xe (Enhanced Ruggedized Aiming/Illumination Device) is the culmination of years of operator feedback and leading-edge technical advancements. The result is a compact, ergonomic aiming and illumination device with a uniquely rich feature set that achieves the highest standard of optical performance.

EASE OF USE

The RAID Xe’s co-aligned optical bench houses a visible laser (VIS), near infrared laser (NIR) and NIR Illuminator. The unique single windage and elevation adjustment allows operators to set one zero for the entire optical bench with just one adjustment. This feature addresses the time-consuming process of zeroing the visible laser, near infrared laser and NIR Illuminator separately.

OPERATOR DEFINED FUNCTIONALITY

Wilcox has extended the RAID Xe’s capabilities with the ERGOTCO Xe Activation Keypad. This keypad 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 quadrant rails of most rifle handguards.

The ergonomic considerations 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. This capability further extends the end user’s ability to identify and engage targets while enhancing their safety in stressful, hostile environments. See it in action!

SMALL FORM FACTOR

The RAID Xe also offers the operator with the several tactical advantages due to the unit’s overall size, weight and architecture. With a weight of approximately 173 grams (without the single CR123 Battery), and the overall width and length of about a typical business card, the RAID Xe doesn’t fatigue the end user while aiming their weapon nor does it require excessive rail space once mounted. 

CONCLUSION

Military and law enforcement, including special forces, SWAT and security personnel, face unique challenges in environments where quick target acquisition and identification are required. The Wilcox RAID Xe represents a low-profile, easy-to-use solution for any operator requiring on-the-fly adjustments and customization to meet mission requirements.
