TACTICAL
NIGHT VISION CAPABILITY
Whether viewed under NODs or operating in the dark, NVG mode allows for stealthy operation with controls to further dim brightness and black out the display to reduce detectability.
RUCKING ACTIVITY
A dedicated rucking activity profile allows you to input your pack weight.
STEALTH MODE
While keeping the tactical watch operational, stealth mode stops storing and sharing your GPS position and disables wireless connectivity and communication.
PROJECTED WAYPOINTS
Set and save remote geo positions to be used later for navigation.
APPLIED BALLISTICS SOLVER
The preloaded Applied Ballistics solver gives you access to aiming solutions for long-range shooting in the field (requires one-time fee; see pricing information).
