101st Airborne Division with MAWL-X1 lasers
FORT POLK, LOUISIANA, 04.16.2026
The MAWL-X1 is the military variant of the first weapon aiming laser utilizing VCSEL illuminator technology, resulting in superior beam clarity for illumination. With multiple fixed divergence diodes, easily controlled/activated by an ergonomic selector, soldiers get useful IR energy that results in better, and longer distances for positive identification and precise targeting.
Seeing the MAWL-X1 in recent US Army public releases is certainly a point of pride for our company
