Lightweight M3A1 Multi-role Anti-armor Anti-personnel Weapon System (MAAWS)

Mission:
The laser pointing and precision aiming in visible or infrared spectrums.

Description:
The AN/PEQ-15 is a weapon mounted, multi-function, Class 3B laser device that emits visible and infrared (IR) light for precise weapon aiming and target/area illumination. The visible aiming laser assists in bore-sighting the device and provides for active target acquisition in low-light and close quarters combat situations without the need for night vision devices. The IR aim and illumination lasers provide for active, covert target acquisition in low light or complete darkness when used in conjunction with image intensifying night vision devices. The AN/PEQ-15 has an integral rail grabber bracket that mounts to the MIL-STD-1913 rail.
