Jerking the Trigger

B.E. Meyers & Co., Inc. is pleased to announce that the MAWL-DA has been selected by the French National Gendarmerie’s elite police tactical unit, the GIGN, as their official individual NIR/VIS weapon laser and illuminator. The GIGN is currently upgrading legacy systems, and has begun to integrate new technologies with the unit’s available weapons platforms.

After evaluating various laser aiming and illumination systems through rigorous testing, and in real-world scenarios, the MAWL-DA was proven to be the superior solution, and was selected for formal procurement and deployment within the unit. In addition to the MAWL-DA’s selection by the GIGN, other units in France, and other European SOF units have adopted it for use in their respective operations.

The GIGN is the elite Police Tactical Unit of the French National Gendarmerie. Its missions include counter-terrorism, hostage rescue, surveillance of national threats, protection of government officials, and targeting organized crime. It is renowned for its selection and implementation of innovative technology and tactics, using a comprehensive suite of both small arms solutions, and weapon enabling systems. The unit’s selection of the MAWL-DA as a tool for mission success is notable in light of the GIGN’s pedigree, and reputation as a premiere SOF unit. B.E. Meyers & Co. looks forward to the MAWL-DA’s service with the GIGN as NIR/VIS pointing and illumination system which will assist in the unit’s response to both domestic and international threats.

The MAWL-DA (Modular Advanced Weapon Laser – Direct Action) is a high-power infrared and visible green aiming and illumination laser for individual carbines. Offering improved ergonomics, interface, and performance, the MAWL-DA has been designed from the ground up around the needs of the modern night fighter.

Engineered to address the shortcomings of common laser devices in use with both military and law enforcement, the MAWL® incorporates cutting edge VCSEL technology which eliminates the current problem of inconsistent and granular, speckled illumination. This unparalleled beam quality is leveraged with multiple modes of divergence and power, based on the ideal settings for any operational environment: Close Range, Mid Range, or Long Range.

January 8, 2018 (Redmond, WA) – B.E. Meyers & Co., Inc. will be exhibiting the MAWL®, GLARE®, and IZLID® series of lasers, as well as the BOARS-M2™ at SHOT Show 2018 in Las Vegas, NV on January 23-26, 2018. This is the first time that B.E. Meyers & Co. will have the new Flat Dark Earth MAWL on display for public viewing. The company’s booth (20434) is located on the second floor of the show in the Law Enforcement section.

B.E. Meyers & Co.’s Modular Advanced Weapon Laser (MAWL) is a high power infrared and visible green Aiming and Illumination laser for individual carbines. It offers improved ergonomics, interface, and performance. Additionally, the MAWL-CLAD features a full suite of SWIR and NIR capabilities. The MAWL has been designed from the ground up around the needs of the modern night fighter and is currently in use and deployed on operations with both Special Forces groups, and security agencies in the U.S., Europe, and other nations.

The GLARE RECOIL, was selected by the Marine Corps Systems Command (MARCORSYSCOM) as the sole source winner for the U.S. Marine Corps’ Ocular Interruption Systems (OIS) program and designated the LA-22/U. It features the B.E. Meyers & Co. patented SmartRange™ technology that utilizes laser range finding and near-field detection to self-regulate power output. The result is a product that represents the pinnacle of Hail and Warning systems technology, featuring controlled EyeSafe™ irradiance while simultaneously achieving maximum permissible exposure on target. B.E. Meyers & Co. also offers a class 1M variant of the LA-22/U, the GLARE HELIOS.

In response to the need for a modular, compact optic mount for the M2 platform, B.E. Meyers & Co. developed a revolutionary low profile mounting solution, the BOARS-M2™. It offers a modular, quick-disconnect system with true return-to-zero reattach. The BOARS-M2’s low profile form factor increases operator survivability by lowering the end-user defilade.

The IZLID series of NIR and SWIR lasers are rugged, versatile, dependable, and designed for a wide range of applications and platforms. Primary applications include marking, pointing, targeting, and illumination. The IZLIDs can be used as handheld units or mounted to various weapons systems or aircraft.
