Raytheon ELCAN Optical Technologies, also simply ELCAN (Ernest Leitz CANada), is a Canadian optics and electronics manufacturing company owned by American defense contractor Raytheon, currently based in Midland, Ontario. ELCAN produces optical devices geared towards both civilian and military markets, and their products are sold through Armament Technology Inc. based in Halifax, Nova Scotia and associated channel of dealers.
Elcan was also the developer and source for the Elcan DigitalHunter rifle scope which was fully electronic and able to change reticles, cartridge ballistics, and atmospheric conditions by use of downloaded ballistic charts. When Elcan decided to no longer market the scope to the commercial market, it discontinued support for the scope and no longer maintained a site for the download of ballistic data and other functions of the scope. Essentially this lack of download support prevented users from effectively using the Elcan scopes already sold.
