Improved Laser/Light Aiming Device
The current dynamic battle space is constantly changing and evolving; to meet the demands of these areas of conflict, Special Operations Forces (SOF) require a rifle rail-mounted, high-powered aiming and illumination device for use in periods of limited visibility. Laser Devices, Inc. developed the Improved Laser/Light Aiming, or PEQ-15SO, device, as an improvement of the DBAL-A2 (PEQ-15A) laser system, based on direct user feedback and SOF’s unique mission set. The PEQ-15SO system integrates an infrared laser pointer, an adjustable infrared illuminator, a visible red laser pointer, and a white light. The laser pack and white light conserve as much rail space as possible, with the battery compartment fitting between the top and side rail of an HK-416. In addition to higher power output, the PEQ-15SO was designed to allow the operator to switch between infrared aiming devices and visible aiming devices without removing his hand from the weapon to move the selector switch. Laser Devices, Inc. is now producing the PEQ-15SO as the DBAL-A3.

Extendable Camera Viewing System
During inspection or surveillance missions, tactical operators must be able to rapidly identify threat objects using pole cameras. To meet this need, Intelligent Optical Systems developed the Extendable Camera Viewing system, also known as the UpRight™ Pole Camera system. The UpRight™ increases the operator’s ability to rapidly orient the viewed image and thereby improves their ability to discern the viewed scene and interpret the image to quickly identify threats and improve execution of tactical actions. The UpRight™ Pole Camera system displays a vertical "right side up" image of the scene regardless of how the pole camera head is oriented. The system consists of a camera embedded in a telescoping pole, which transmits a video feed to a display system, enabling operators to search inaccessible areas.

Night Vision Security Enhancer
Tactical operators had a requirement for a wireless infrared (IR) illuminator and motion sensing system to enhance temporary site security. The Night Vision Security Enhancer (Night VISER) system was developed by Applied Research Associates to be used during tactical operations in urban and suburban environments as well as in rural or wilderness environments. The system’s primary function is to increase the ability of a sentry with a night vision device to monitor both open terrain and limited avenues of approach and provide early warning of potential threats. Independent nodes alert the sentry that human-sized motion has been detected in the area of interrogation and illuminates the area with IR light. The nodes operate on a mesh network and can be deployed at distances beyond 100 meters from the sentry. The system consists of four nodes and a handheld remote control that is compact, rugged, and rapidly deployable.
