SNIPER AND SURVEILLANCE OPERATIONS PRESENT INHERENT DANGERS FOR THE MILITARY AND LAW ENFORCEMENT. In most cases, personnel are required to visually explore a location by sticking their heads up or by knocking conspicuous holes in walls, often in dangerous conditions such as hostile militarized zones. The practice potentially exposes team members to life-threatening enemy fire, as well as possibly discloses coalition force locations to the enemy. But that's no longer the case. Periscopes have long been used on submarines to enable observations above the ocean's surface. The simple mechanics behind periscopes are now being applied on land to help save the lives of numerous deployed soldiers and SWAT team members. Recognizing the need for a simple solution for SWAT teams, Tony Leonti developed the patented SWATSCOPE to help improve visual surveillance tactics. U.S. Army and Marine Corps members quickly adopted the device.
