Description

The CNC requires Backup Iron Sights (BUS) to provide a reliable secondary sighting capability for its GR115 carbines. The BUS will be used alongside the CNC’s chosen primary sighting system, a holographic sight, and must enable officers to retain an effective sighting capability should the primary sight fail, become damaged or otherwise be unavailable. This requirement supports operational resilience by providing a dependable and readily accessible alternative sighting option.
