ELCAN Optical Technologies

Raytheon ELCAN Optical Technologies, also simply ELCAN (Ernst Leitz CANada),[1] is a Canadian optics and electronics manufacturing company owned by American defense contractor RTX Corporation, currently based in Midland, Ontario.

ELCAN produces optical devices geared towards both civilian and military markets, and their products are sold through Armament Technology Inc. based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and associated channels of dealers.

The M145 Machine Gun Optic is a variant of the C79, which is different to the standard version in that ballistic compensation is in the reticle rather than in the mount.

Reticle illumination is by a battery-powered LED with eleven brightness settings.

ELCAN currently manufactures the "Specter" line of combat optics in a variety of configurations.
