DeVos Invested In Maker Of Assault-Weapon Sighting Systems
By Jonathan Larsen
Education Secretary Betsy DeVos last year acquired a stake worth at least $1 million in a high-tech optics company that makes parts for military-grade rifles and other weapons, according to a recent disclosure filing.
The disclosure form says that on Dec. 1, 2017, DeVos acquired a stake in EXC Holdings, owner of Excelitas Technologies. In 2013, Excelitas purchased Qioptiq, which makes weapons sights for military-grade small arms.
According to the Qioptiq website, Qioptiq offers some of the worlds leading night vision and thermal weapon aiming and target acquisition sights for a wide variety of platforms, including individual assault weapons.
In June 2016, Qioptiq won a contract to supply Australias military with its line of KITE In-Line Weapons Sights, for the Austeyr F88 rifle. Qioptiq says the device makes it possible to see a person at distances beyond 1,000m [meters] in nighttime conditions. Neither Qioptiq nor Excelitas appears to sell weapon accessories to the general public.
