Products & Services
RAIL - Rail-Mounted Aiming/Illumination Laser
Envision Technology, Inc.
The Rail-Mounted Aiming/Illumination Laser (RAIL) brings a weapon-mounted aiming and illumination capability to the user in an exceptionally small form factor. The RAIL contains an integrated visible aiming laser (Green or Red), NIR aiming laser, NIR illumination laser (VCSEL), and 180 degree NIR wide-angle LED illuminator for confined spaces or Close Quarters Battle (CQB). The NIR illumination laser has a quick-adjust beam divergence capability and is independently adjustable from the co-aligned aiming lasers. All lasers have user-adjustable power settings to support various mission needs. The system is powered by a single CR123 battery and mountable to a standard MIL-STD-1913 rail.
CIPHR - Compact Imager / Precision Handheld Rangefinder
Envision Technology, Inc.
CIPHR delivers the advanced capabilities of full-size battlefield observation systems in one of the smallest and lightest tactical laser rangefinders on the market. This all-digital, handheld unit combines a low-light color imager (4.5x / 9x zoom), precision laser rangefinder, GPS, digital compass, NIR pointer, and illuminator, compact enough to fit in a MOLLE pouch and light enough for all-day carry.
With built-in image capture, video output, and optional enhancements like TAK integration and an onboard ballistic solver, CIPHR gives operators elite-grade optics and data-sharing tools in a mission-ready form factor.

Description
Envision Technology Introduces the Miniature Advanced Rangefinder System (MARS) - NSN: 1240-99-984-0230
Envision Technology, a manufacturer of state-of-the-art EO/IR technologies for the military, law enforcement and commercial markets, has entered full-rate production of the newest addition to the Envision product portfolio, the Miniature Advanced Rangefinder System (MARS).
Building off the success of Envision’s MARS-L system, which was introduced in 2022, MARS expands on this capability by including Near Infrared (NIR) aiming and illumination lasers in the same size package as the MARS-L. This weapon-mounted laser rangefinder (WMLRF) is a game changer, and has been purpose-built for the operational end user, with a strong focus on reductions in Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) when compared to existing systems. The MARS achieves this while delivering required capability attributes, such as a long-range eye safe (1550nm) LRF, visible pointer, NIR pointer, NIR VCSEL Illuminator, on-board ballistic computer (Applied Ballistics), and a large OLED display to allow the user to navigate the simple and intuitive user interface.
The compact and lightweight design (< 8 ounces with battery), is feature rich and minimizes impact on the host weapon system and operator load. MARS is capable of successfully ranging a man-sized target beyond 1500 meters (Man-size 10% reflective) and offers the user additional rangefinding modes for specific mission scenarios. The integrated Bluetooth module allows the user to interface with external devices such as a Kestrel weather meter. MARS is also compliant with Modular Sniper Display (MSD) ICD Rev. B and Rev. D to support exporting ballistics to an MSD scope or compatible thermal weapon sight.
“As an American manufacturer and small business, we are proud to deliver MARS systems to the men and women who continue to put themselves in harm’s way to protect our freedoms" states Envision’s Head of Business Development and Sales, Mike Cassidy. For more information about the MARS, contact sales@envision-tek.com.
