Great, previous reports made the general statement that the "Military" has procured a number of TrackingPoint PGFs, kind of nebulous, nothing to get excited about but the report that the Program Executive Officer is the procuring agency indicates there is serious interest in testing the TP System for military use. PEO-SRSE's job is to quickly evaluate, develop and field advanced equipment for Special Operations Command. With all the smoke blown from various quarters that TrackingPoint is interested in supplying the average or below average, well heeled hunter with a much higher kill ratio it's obvious this system's most beneficial use would be to replace legacy systems in the military, the purists don't like it but there ain't no stopping progress. Now, TP your next job is too fabricate a fused system.
"McGarry wrote a Jan. 15 piece on Tracking Point for DefenseTech, but PEO Soldier just recently got back to us.
“The Army purchased six Tracking Point fire control systems to begin exploring purported key target acquisition and aiming technologies,” said PEO spokesman Alton Stewart.
“The Army is considering buying additional Tracking Point weapon Systems pending of funding. This purchase would allow the Army to evaluate, test and analyze the commercially available, non-developmental item to assess the capabilities this system could bring to the soldiers and to assist Army requirement developers to define future fire control requirements.”
