The High Energy Laser with Integrated Optical-dazzler and Surveillance (HELIOS) is a Lockheed Martin-developed 300 Kilowatt high-energy laser weapon designed to intercept combat drones, fast-attack craft, and missiles. [1] After winning the contract in 2018, the first announced installation was on the USS Preble (DDG-88) in 2019. [2]
The AN/PEQ-2 has two infrared laser emitters;one narrow beam used for aiming the rifle and one wide beam used for illuminating targets, like a flashlight. [9] The beams can only be seen through night vision goggles. [9] Each beam can be zeroed independently, and the illuminator's radius is adjustable. The two lasers are tied into one 6-mode ...
The Advanced Target Pointer Illuminator Aiming Laser, ATPIAL AN/PEQ-15 known colloquially as the "PEQ-15" [/ p ɛ k / / f ɪ f t iː n /] produced by L3Harris (originally designed and manufactured by Insight Technology, until their acquisition by L3Harris in 2010); is a multifunction IR Target Pointer & Illuminator, a.k.a. a Laser Aiming Module (LAM) for use as a rifle attachment, using a ...
A laser weapon [2] is a type of directed-energy weapon that uses lasers to inflict damage. Whether they will be deployed as practical, high-performance military weapons remains to be seen. [3] [4] One of the major issues with laser weapons is atmospheric thermal blooming, which is still largely unsolved. This issue is exacerbated when there is ...
DragonFire is a British laser directed-energy weapon (LDEW). It was first unveiled to the public as a technology demonstrator in 2017 at the Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI) conference in London and is being developed by UK DragonFire, a collaboration consisting of MBDA UK, Leonardo UK, QinetiQ and the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (dstl).

Singaporean soldier aiming a SAR 21 with laser sight. A laser sight is a device attached or integral to a firearm to aid target acquisition. Unlike optical and iron sights where the user looks through the device to aim at the target, laser sights project a beam onto the target, providing a visual reference point.
The flashlight module can also be swapped out for a laser head which will produce a visible red laser or IR laser and can be used as a pointer or a flood IR/red visible illuminator. [2] The German Army has started to field an upgraded variant of their basic G36 rifle, which has been allocated the in-service designation G36A2. The G36A2 upgrade ...
