A new combat sight, making the rounds at defense conferences, takes some risk out of shooting around corners. The ParaScope Urban Combat sight works off of [any existing scope](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Golf-Laser-Range-Finder) and uses prisms to reflect the image back to the soldier safely behind cover. "The sight is made up of multiple prisms," [Gizmodo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nape-pro) reported, "But is solid and ruggedized; no sand gets in to interfere with it or block vision." "Best of all, it requires no power source – meaning [no batteries to lug around](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laser-rangefinders) - and it'll pinpoint objects up to 100 meters away," a company rep said. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 32% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Urban Combat Sight Innovations:** The ability to shoot around corners is expanding on the innovations integrating technology with urban combat. - **Ruggedized Military Gear:** Military gear that is robust enough to be used and reused in conflict situations is becoming essential. - **Battery-free Technology:** Technological advancements that do not need recharging or fueling are becoming essential in various fields. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Defense Manufacturing Industry:** The ParaScope Urban Combat sight is indicative of a growing demand for defense manufacturing. - **Precision Optics Industry:** The advancements in the field of shooting around corners are indicative of a new trend towards precision optics. - **Tech & Innovation Industry:** The emergence of ruggedized and battery-free technology like ParaScope Urban Combat sight is indicative of an emerging trend towards tech and innovation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Augmented Helicopter Helmet Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/helmet-display.md) - [Superhuman Sight AR Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/utrack-ar.md) - [Optical Illusion Invisibility Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisibility-shield.md) - [Compact High-Performance Monoculars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zero-tube.md) - [Ultra-Light Digital Monoculars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/akaso-unveils-the-sight300.md) - [Futuristically Informed Binoculars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zoomers-binoculars.md) - [Versatile Camera Spotting Scopes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ricoh-imaging.md) - [Advanced AR-Powered Binoculars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unistellar-envision.md) - [Tech-Advanced Thermal Monoculars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thermal-monoculars.md)
