Reticles are the decision layer of any precision optic. Whether deployed in a battlefield environment or on a long-range competition platform, reticle clarity, durability, and repeatability directly determine targeting accuracy.
Optex Systems is establishing an advanced reticle manufacturing line at its Applied Optics Center (AOC) in Texas — expanding vertical integration into precision micro-patterned optical components.
Planned reticle capabilities include:
Combined chrome and etched reticles are engineered with:
This ensures improved clarity, environmental resistance, and repeatable alignment under recoil and temperature variation.
To ensure supply chain resilience and long-term capability, Optex is executing a three-stage strategy:
This approach strengthens domestic manufacturing control while supporting defense primes and leading commercial optics manufacturers.
Reticles must maintain:
By integrating reticle production within AOC’s thin-film and optical bonding infrastructure, Optex ensures performance consistency from coating through final assembly.
From military optics to high-end commercial platforms, Optex reticles are engineered for precision without compromise.
