At AimLock, we believe the good guys should always have a clear edge over the bad guys, whether in war or while keeping the peace.  So, we adopted a simple but ambitious mission: To enable the US and its allies to dominate the firefight with aiming technologies that engage instantly and never miss. Most people said we were dreaming, but we boldly set out to accomplish the impossible anyway. After years of research and development, we created AimLock technology, and the world will never be the same.
