A brief history of Armament Technology Incorporated (ATI)
We provide professional grade optical weapon sighting systems and accessories for small arms to a global customer base.
Founded in 1988, Halifax NS Canada and wholly Canadian owned company. We are ISO and Controlled goods registered.
Our Family of Brands: ELCAN, Tangent Theta, Tenebræx, SAI Optics and XOPTEK
In 2003 ATI was awarded C79A2 Refurbishment Contract direct with the Canadian Department of National Defence (DND) and since that time we have refurbished over 76,800 optical sights.
ATI began buying C79 optical sights from ELCAN in 1994. Around that time ATI identified a tracking and “zero” retention issue and implemented an improvement to the design to correct those issues.
Over the Years ATI has maintained dozens of separate standing offer contracts with the Canadian DND in support of not only supply and refurbishment of the C79’s but also C2A1 repair.
In 2013 Tangent Theta Incorporated was established to build a series of riflescopes to meet the needs of professional marksmen. Tangent Theta became a division of Armament Technology Inc. in 2019. The Tangent Theta division of ATI is comprised of extremely experienced optical designers, mechanical designers and engineers with extensive background optical design for small arms.
Also in 2013 ATI acquired the assets of Tenebraex Corporation in Boston MA and moved corporate operations to Halifax, NS. Since that time we have grown the business to supply every major manufacturer of Optics around the globe. We are specified in almost every current US military acquisition, for new optics, to supply accessories. (Flip Covers, Anti-Reflection devices).
SAI Optics is the newest Division of Armament Technology and was created to release a new series of Low Power Variable Optics (LPVO) to the sport shooting and hunting community. The first release of this product is the SAI™ 6 optic in Coyote brown, the first model is available in a 5.56 NATO BDC reticle, and 7.62 NATO BDC reticle with plans for more in the future.
