In mid-July, CTF Photonics acquired Phantom Hill, a company renowned for designing the modular CTF2 laser aiming device.

The CTF2 from Phantom Hill emerged as a viable alternative to the industry monopoly on laser aiming devices held by EOTech, Steiner, and Wilcox. The CTF2 is a modular laser aiming device that allows users to choose their preferred heads for white light and IR illumination, with the laser built directly into the platform itself.

With the acquisition of Phantom Hill, CTF Photonics aims to uphold that civilian heritage and continue evolving the CTF2 into a potential industry disruptor and a viable alternative for the civilian laser aiming market.

Below is CTF Photonics’ press release on taking over Phantom Hill and building on the foundation that’s already been laid.

In the world of active infrared laser aiming devices, the CTF2 always stood out. It was modular and simple, allowing users to use any illumination heads they wanted. It’s a self-contained solution with good ergonomics. The only problem was that no one could buy one.

We started as customers and fans of this product, and we are very excited to now take over the production and future development of this innovative platform. We will be making several changes to the company, and we will keep you posted along the way.

The first thing to know is that we will be changing the name of the company to CTF Photonics. We will be making updates to the website and have some great ideas as to what this product can grow into. We will be making early announcements via email to those who are signed up, so you will be the first to know about what’s coming down the pipeline.
