Military handles

Technical excellence and military standards

Military grips from OTTO Controls (such as the G2, G3, or Commander Grip series) set the global benchmark for robustness and functional density. They are optimized for controlling complex weapon systems, sensors, and vehicle functions under maximum stress.

• Certified components: Equipped with push buttons, rocker switches, and multi-directional switches (Hat Switches) approved according to MIL-PRF-8805 for extreme operating conditions.

• NVIS compatibility: Optional integration of Night Vision Imaging System-compatible lighting for covert operations.

• EMI/RFI shielding: Design measures to protect against electromagnetic interference ensure uninterrupted communication within military onboard electronics.

• Material resistance: Use of high-performance plastics and alloys resistant to chemicals, UV radiation, and extreme temperatures (-55 °C to +125 °C).
