This is exciting, at least for me, so bear with me. The Marine Corps System Command has chosen the Applied Ballistics Kestrel as its new Scout Sniper Ballistic Computer!

Kestrel® Weather & Environmental Meters has been selected by Marine Corps System Command to provide the material solution for the Scout Sniper Ballistic Computers (SSBC) program.
“Kestrel has proudly supported Marine Corps Scout Snipers with rugged environmental meters for more than 15 years, starting with the original Kestrel 4000 Weather Tracker, through to the Kestrel 4500 with Applied Ballistics selected on this contract,” said Nielsen-Kellerman (NK) CEO Alix James. “We are constantly working to develop solutions that make our warfighters more effective without weighing them down with unnecessary gear. We are honored that this selection confirms that we’re building what our soldiers need.” NK is the manufacturer of the Kestrel Weather & Environmental Meters.
The Kestrel 4500 with Applied Ballistics is a 4-ounce, hand-held meter that combines accurate wind, direction, temperature, pressure and humidity readings with a built-in advanced ballistics calculator and bullet performance database. The Kestrel outputs elevation and wind holds calculated for the precise weapon, round and target characteristics, allowing snipers to put first shots on target at 1000 yards and beyond. - Proudly made in the USA and BERRY compliant as well as BUY American Act compliant.
The 887 Kestrel meters purchased will be supplied in a complete field support kit containing the following:
Kestrel Shooter’s Weather Meter with Applied Ballistics ITAR Desert Tan Tactical
