The modern warfighter has access to tech that borders on science fiction. These devices allow them to complete missions that previously would have been impossible. From communication equipment to advanced night vision, there is little they do not have access to. A company that has been at the forefront of gear development is B.E. Meyers & Co., Inc. Today, they got the news that they had been awarded multiple contracts to support the US Army Night Operations Lethality upgrades. The contracts are for the B.E. Meyers MAWL-X1.
B.E. Meyers MAWL-X1 – Warfighter Ready
B.E. Meyers & Co. was selected to deliver MAWL-X1 systems via PM Lethality to multiple US Army units in FY2025. They will complete delivery of 1,000+ systems in 2025. Recently, the US Army placed orders for another 1,000+ MAWL-X1 and DAGIR-V1 systems. These are scheduled for delivery in 2026 as part of the Tailored Logistics Services (TLS) program.

The MAWL-X1 is a high-power infrared and visible green aiming and illumination laser designed specifically for individual carbines, catering to the needs of modern night fighters. It features cutting-edge VCSEL technology for unparalleled beam quality, eliminating issues of inconsistent illumination. With multiple modes of divergence and power tailored for close, mid, and long-range operations, the MAWL-X1 ensures optimal performance in any environment. Additionally, its modular design allows for ambidextrous configuration to suit any operator’s needs.
Modular Aiming and Illumination Tool
The MAWL-X1 laser device is a modular aiming and illumination tool that provides enhanced Near Infrared (NIR) illumination quality, streamlines the user interface, and improves weapon handling ergonomics. Its compact design offers a superior form-fit-feel compared to traditional systems. With a low-profile activation button just 0.37 inches above the top rail, the device positions most of its bulk off-axis from the operator’s grip, enhancing maneuverability. The MAWL-X1 is well-suited for combat applications across various environments. For example, it can be used in close-quarters battle (CQB) or in engagements exceeding 1000 meters.

At the core of the DAGIR-V1 is the groundbreaking MINIRVA diode system, harnessing advanced VCSEL (Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser) technology to deliver unmatched beam precision and clarity. This best-in-class optical engine produces sharper, more defined illumination. As a result, it enables superior target identification, environmental awareness, and threat assessment—even in the most demanding operational environments.
B.E. Meyers MAWL-X1
The DAGIR-V1 is a versatile, weapon-mounted NIR/Visible pointer and NIR illuminator engineered for elite operational demands. Its powerful overbore 40 mW IR pointer and dual 350 mW VCSEL IR illuminators deliver uncompromising performance — even through oppressive photonic barriers and high-ambient-light environments. Controlled via a best-in-class human-machine interface, operators can intuitively adjust beam divergence and output without dismounting the weapon. All optical and electronic components are environmentally sealed within a compact, rugged aluminum housing. Therefore, the system is built to thrive in the harshest conditions and the most demanding missions.
