HYDRA is the first dual optic mount designed for end-users that offers a 2.91" Optic Centerline for faster target ID, regardless of gear/ equipment obstructions, i.e.. EarPro/Comms headsets, Gas masks/ CBRN, and Night vision use. A higher Optic allows for a more athletic posture and Heads-up attitude that enables the end-users to maintain a vertical spine which translates to body armor or presenting plates to the threat. This Heads-up style allows for faster processing speed and increased situational awareness. The unique and patented design offers an elevated MIL-STD-1913, or Picatinny platform for directly attaching accessories such as lights, optics, thermals, and aiming devices. It's perfect for the super short PDW/SMG platforms where rail space is limited, but mounting a light and aiming device is still critical. The pass-through on the neck allows for cable management or iron sight passthrough on the AIMPOINT and Trijicon variants.
