The Dillon MK-12 Fixed Forward Gun Sight is a simple, robust, reflex-type gun sight for use in fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft.
The Dillon MK-12 was designed to meet the needs of light attack helicopters and certain fixed-wing aircraft. Differing from more expensive, more complex alternatives the MK-12 provides highly accurate weapons aiming reference at an affordable price.
While traditional heads up displays and helmet mounted sights offer a dizzing array of information, the Dillon Gun Sight focuses on the one piece of information that the pilot actually needs during the fifteen seconds they are engaging the target – where the weapons are pointing. This decluttered approach allows for a large and easily viewable reticle providing quick and precise application of ordnance.
Currently, Dillon offers mounting provisions for MD 500 series helicopters and pilatus PC-7 aircraft. Mounts for the Bell 407, UH-1, and Airbus helicopters are in development. The MK-12 is readily adaptable to many fixed-wing and rotary-wing platforms with Fixed Forward weapon systems.
