The Advanced Target Pointer / Illuminator / Aiming Light, 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 ...
This was followed by high-power trials in November 2022, where the weapon engaged targets using its high-power laser in operationally representative scenarios. DragonFire engaged an airborne target in exercises in Scotland in January 2024. The MOD stated: "The range of DragonFire is classified, but it is a line-of-sight weapon and can engage ...
High-energy laser. In late 2021, Rheinmetall unveiled the Skyranger 30 high-energy laser (HEL), intended to increase the system's ability to neutralize small targets at greater range and lower cost. The initial power level is 20 kw, with an immediate goal to increase it to 50 kw and an ideal goal of 100 kw. Operators
The AN/PEQ-2A upgrade incorporates a blue removable safety block which physically prevents turning the mode switch to any of the high-power modes, which are capable of causing eye damage. Both variants are waterproof to a depth of 20 meters and run on two AA batteries . Mode. Mode's Marking. Targeting laser.
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.
A dazzler is a non- lethal weapon which uses intense directed radiation to temporarily disorient its target with flash blindness. They can effectively deter further advances, regardless of language or cultural barriers, but can also be used for hailing and warning. [1] Targets can include electronic sensors as well as human vision.
Police car equipped with an LRAD -500X sonic weapon (Warsaw, Poland, 2011). A directed-energy weapon ( DEW) is a ranged weapon that damages its target with highly focused energy without a solid projectile, including lasers, microwaves, particle beams, and sound beams. Potential applications of this technology include weapons that target ...
The AN/SEQ-3 Laser Weapon System or XN-1 LaWS [1] is a laser weapon developed by the United States Navy. The weapon was installed on USS Ponce for field testing in 2014. In December 2014, the United States Navy reported that the LaWS system worked perfectly against low-end asymmetric threats, and that the commander of Ponce was authorized to ...
