The contract configuration includes system accessories from Unity Tactical and modular storage gear from Spiritus Systems, designed to support deployment in demanding operational environments. According to the company, this combination ensures ease of use and quick integration with current SOF gear. B.E.

The SAL-UHP adds to the firm’s DAGIR® line of high-performance lasers and strengthens its position in the precision targeting segment. In a statement, the company noted that the SAL-UHP is engineered to support a wide range of tactical missions, offering operators an advanced tool for precision engagement in low-light and no-light conditions. The device is expected to be fielded with various special operations units. B.E. Meyers & Co., headquartered in Redmond, WA, continues to expand its offerings in directed energy and optical systems, supporting both conventional and special operations forces with advanced solutions designed for modern warfare.
