The first prouction model from Night-Ops of Blackhawk Products Group is the Gladius, a tactical 6-volt, high-intensity LED, multi-mode illumination tool for both handheld or weapons mounted applications. The Gladius is designed from the ground up to meet the realities of tactical situations and close quarter combat. A unique proprietary flex circuit allows the tail cap switch to intelligently communicate with the power management system located in the front of the flashlight. The rotating tail cap uses a non-mechanical enclosed switching design for one-handed operations.
