IR Illuminators are top-tier. LEDs are used for wide and medium FOV to ensure very clean and perfect beam quality. Steiner eOptics assembled a group of former MIL and LE users, including multiple SOF operators, to analyze all competitor products. The main takeaway from this effort was that in every instance, form and usability were secondary concerns for existing products. For ATLAS, extreme attention was paid to ergonomic fitment to weapons and ease of use. ATLAS naturally fits a user's C-grip and is fully ambidextrous with centered controls.
