The UNS-A3 (Universal Night Sight) is small, handy CNVD designed to attach to a weapon system in front of an existing day optic, providing the operator with instant nighttime engagement capabilities. This provides extreme flexibility on the battlefield because it means operators do not have to carry a weapon platform dedicated to night use. When the sun sets, the UNS-A3 is simply removed from a pack and clipped in front of the day optic. It is just as easily removed when the sun returns.

The UNS-A3 is appropriate for intermediate / long range rifles. Its refractive lens gathers a large amount of ambient light, disproportionate to its size. The system is carefully collimated (boresighted) at the factory to within 0.5 MOA. This means that any POA/POI shift will be mechanically less than ½ MOA. Depending on the individual rifle’s setup, there may be no deviation. The L3Harris image intensification tube is shock isolated to withstand big bore recoil including .50 BMG. It delivers a stunning amount of light amplification considering the unit’s small size. The power knob doubles as manual gain control, allowing operators to adjust the intensity of the image to the amount of ambient light. A large fin attached to the focus ring provides very easy adjustment in the dark while wearing gloves.

The UNS-A3 is ideal for use with short-medium magnification day optics. While the sweet spot for magnification is between 6-8X, it can easily provide very usable resolution with standard DMR scopes between 2.5-10X. A grown man can be recognized at 700 yards with a ¼ moon.

Knight’s Armament patented Single Interchangeable Battery (SIB) technology allows the UNS-A2 to function off of commonly fielded batteries. It can run for up to 24 hours off a single AA or CR123 battery. The tethered battery cap can be flipped to accommodate either while a rubber cap protects the exposed/unused side. In fact, the highly efficient circuit allows use of a depleted flashlight battery to provide several hours of operation.

The AN/PVS-30 is a MIL-SPEC, SOCOM-issued CNVD designed to attach to a weapon system in front of an existing day optic. It provides operators with instant nighttime engagement capabilities, providing extreme flexibility on the battlefield because operators do not need to carry a separate weapon platform dedicated to night use. When at night, the AN/PVS-30 is simply attached to MIL-Standard M1913 Picatinny Rail in front of the day optic. It is fast and easy to take it on and off.

The AN/PVS-30 is appropriate for long range rifles. The long refractive lens gathers a very large amount of ambient light. The system is carefully collimated (boresighted) at the Knight’s Armament factory to within 0.5 MOA. This means that any POA/POI shift will be mechanically less than ½ MOA. Depending on the individual rifle’s setup, it is possible that no deviation will occur. The L3Harris image intensification tube is shock isolated to withstand large bore recoil including .50 BMG. It delivers a stunning amount of light amplification. The power knob doubles as a manual gain control, allowing operators to adjust the intensity of the image to the amount of ambient light. Focus is quick and easily adjusted by turning a large collar studded with little knobs for extra purchase while wearing gloves.

The AN/PVS-30 is ideal for use with high magnification day optics on long-range weapon systems. At the same time, it can easily pair with intermediate range scopes. The sweet spot for magnification is between 12-15X, but urban areas and full moons will allow for usable resolution up to 20X. A grown man can be recognized out to 1,000 meters under a ¼ moon.

General Information

This manual is an overview of the 558 HWS (Holographic Weapon Sight), and will define the basic operation, features/benefits, and options of this proprietary optical system. The HWS is a state of-the-art optical sighting system, employing holographic sighting technology for small to medium caliber weaponry and launching type plat–forms. The HWS utilizes holographic optics fabrication technology that is used in the production of advanced heads up display in attack fighter aircraft for targeting, gauge reading, weapon system verification, etc. L3 EOTECH has miniaturized the sophisticated sighting heads up display system into a compact and rugged package for use on small arms and other weapon platforms.

Key Attributes

The 558 HWS is a lightweight, non-magnifying, optical sight designed for close to mid range engagements. It allows very fast target acquisition and engagement at short ranges while providing aiming capability out to 300 meters equal to or better than iron sights. The major combat advantage of the HWS is extremely rapid reticle-on-target acquisition. As quickly as a target is identified, the holographic reticle can be superimposed on the target. The sight allows operators to maintain eye contact on the target and to place the holographic reticle onto the target without shifting focus. Operators can quickly acquire the target and reticle in the same focal plane for fast and accurate shot placement.The HWS appears to project the holographic image of a reticle on the target plane. The sight can be used as a bright open reticle image or a fine dot which is limited only by the acuity of the shooter’s eye. The heads up display window allows an undistorted and unrestricted view of the target. The 558 is offered with only one Reticle Option shown below:
          • 0 – 68 minute ring with vertical and horizontal stadia and a 1 MOA aiming dot.

The HWS offers extremely fast target acquisition in Close Quarter Battle (CQB) using the large ring, and aiming precision in longer range engagements (using the MOA Dot) without obscuring the target.

Another advantage of the HWS is the full field of view which allows the operator better situational awareness. The HWS employs a true heads up display (HUD) window that eliminates blind spots and constricted or tunnel vision associated with scope sights. Controls are inset into the HWS housing with no protruding knobs, battery compartment, or rings obscuring the target. Utilizing natural binocular vision is an advantage of this sighting system, as well as additional threat identification through increased operator situational awareness and peripheral vision.

The 558 can operate in tandem with Generation I – III+ night vision intensifier tubes. Operators can see the holographic reticle image with helmet mounted or weapon mounted night vision devices. The HWS is a passive system and emits no signature from frontal or from a peripheral aspect. While in the NV mode, the sight is undetectable by opposing force night vision equipment. The HWS can be positioned behind night vision systems without any “bloom” on the target area.

The primary use of the HWS is for the M4A1 carbine and CQBR in Close Quarters Battle. The HWS is not however, limited to carbines. The HWS can also be used on medium caliber machine guns, grenade launchers, bolt guns, crossbows, and less than lethal projectile launchers. The sight provides a 1X (no magnification) sight  picture and is not designed as a long range sight system, however, it can be used as effectively as iron sights on targets to 300 meters.

The advantage of the HWS is that it provides the operator superior shooting performance, rapid reticle-on-target acquisition, full field of view and accurate shot placement. The HWS can be naturally employed by all levels of users, from novice to the most highly trained operator.

The HWS elevation and windage adjustments are factory collimated with the bore of the rifle parallel to the mounting rail. The sight should be close to mechanical zero when mounted on a properly installed rail. Do not turn the adjustments before mounting the sight on the firearm. Be sure to check that the mount and sight are securely mounted after initial firing

CAUTION – When encountering an increase in resistance in adjustments, the end of the adjustment range has been reached. DO NOT turn the adjustments any farther, serious damage may occur to the sight.
