Wow. Not sure how I missed this one:

The Steiner Innovative Combat Sight (ICS) offers a laser range finder and bullet drop compensation software at the push of the button. This illuminated red dot sight has a fixed parallax at 100 meters and maximum distance measurement range of 800 meters.

The ICS is much more than a regular optic - with onboard laser rangefinder, inclinometer, and illuminated reticle, the ICS allows the user to take into account the range and angle of the target and engage with these factors accounted for without having to make complex calculations or refer to a range card or data.

Because the laser rangefinder (which is eye-safe, and invisible to the human eye at 905nm) is integrated into the sight, to account for the range of the target the user must simply position the target in the reticle and activate the included button on the cable pad; this activates both the laser rangefinder and updates the position of the illuminated red dot in the ICS' reticle. Once the position of the red dot is updated with the range information, the user has only to confirm his point of aim and fire.

The Intelligent Combat Sight features:

Picatinny base on top of the ICS allows for mounting of an auxiliary sight or optic for close-quarters battle
Fixed 6x magnification for better identification of targets
Fully adjustable reticle for windage and up to 120 MOA of elevation
Completely integrated 905nm Class 1 eye-safe laser rangefinder and inclinometer create a complex-yet-simple method of quickly and accurately accounting for the range and angle of the target
Illuminated red dot reticle creates a point of aim with stark contrast and ease of acquisition
Included cable pressure pad for simple control of the onboard target rangefinder
Waterproof and submersible to 10 meters
Integrated quick-detach (QD) mounts mount to any mil-spec 1913 rail

my guess is it was a submission for a certain project in 2014-2015.

The specifications are identical to what was asked for. Right down to the fixed 6x.

The top rail for the rds is new tho.

Some of the other offerings were even more compact, if those make it out to the consumer market things are about to get really interesting.

Thanks for the "heads up" looks to be some competition for the Elcan Specter? Cheers

What other companies submitted concepts?

Did the specifications call for an integrated RDS, or was it just a 6x optic? And users purchased/used their own offset stuff for close-in work?

No RDS, integrated irons. Original intended use was not as a rifle sight. This appears to have been modified to act as one.

no mildot, there is a red dot that marks the calculated POI. It does not just range, it has a dot that illuminates the hold.

I saw an ad on the tube of you the other day for a smart thermal optic. Was interesting. I do not remember the name though.

Looks like it has external adjustments like the Elcan.
