USSOCOM Awards B.E. Meyers Multi-Million Dollar Contract for Advanced Miniature Aiming Laser System

Major Defense Contract Secured

B.E. Meyers & Co. has successfully secured a significant defense contract valued at more than $5,000,000 from the U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) for their cutting-edge Miniature Aiming Laser - Ultra High Power (MAL-UHP) program. This substantial award underscores the company's position as a leading innovator in advanced laser targeting systems for military applications.

DAGIR Platform Technology Evolution

Foundation on Proven DAGIR Architecture

The MAL-UHP system is constructed upon B.E. Meyers' sophisticated DAGIR Multi-Platform Advanced Laser System platform, representing the latest advancement in military laser technology. While USSOCOM previously selected the DAGIR-V1 configuration for the Squad Aiming Laser - Ultra High Power (SAL-UHP) program during fall 2024, the MAL-UHP incorporates the enhanced DAGIR-V2 variant.

Enhanced DAGIR-V2 Capabilities

The DAGIR-V2 maintains all the proven performance characteristics of the SAL-UHP system while introducing a crucial operational enhancement: a dedicated visible-laser override button. This innovative feature enables immediate visible-laser activation without requiring mode switching procedures, streamlining tactical operations and improving user efficiency in dynamic combat environments.

Advanced Technical Features

VCSEL Technology Integration

The DAGIR series combines a compact, low-profile design with state-of-the-art Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser (VCSEL) technology, enabling comprehensive digital control over both visible and infrared aiming capabilities as well as illumination functions. This sophisticated engineering approach delivers precise, reliable performance in demanding operational scenarios.

Weapon-Mount Optimization

Specifically engineered for weapon-mount applications, the system provides synchronized digital power and divergence control, exceptional environmental durability, and robust construction capable of withstanding harsh field conditions. The integration of a Wakizashi™ communications port enables seamless compatibility with Unity® Tactical remote systems, enhancing operational flexibility and user control options.

User-Centric Development

The DAGIR platform development process incorporated extensive user feedback and operational insights, resulting in a system that addresses real-world tactical requirements. Manufactured entirely in the United States, the DAGIR represents what B.E. Meyers describes as the next evolutionary step in combat laser system technology.

MAL-UHP System Specifications

Multi-Platform Versatility

The B.E. Meyers & Co. MAL-UHP functions as a comprehensive weapon-mountable Near-Infrared (NIR) illuminator and dual-spectrum (NIR + visible) aiming device. The system incorporates advanced VCSEL technology with integrated Visible Override functionality, providing operators with maximum tactical flexibility.

Broad Application Range

The MAL-UHP design accommodates diverse operational requirements, spanning from close-range carbine applications to high-power extended-range machine gun deployments. Additionally, the system supports integration with remote weapon stations and various other platform configurations, demonstrating exceptional adaptability across multiple mission profiles.

Strategic Significance

This substantial contract award reinforces B.E. Meyers & Co.'s reputation as a trusted provider of advanced laser systems to U.S. Special Operations forces, while the MAL-UHP program represents continued innovation in military targeting technology designed to enhance operational effectiveness in complex combat environments.
