Chimera 158A · Multi-wavelength diode

UV, red & IR. One diode. One lens.

Chimera 158A puts UV, red and infrared out of a single diode and lens. No multiple diodes, lenses or housings required.

Chimera 158A
Smallest footprint available

Everything an AN/PEQ-15 does, and more.

Chimera provides all of the functionality of an AN/PEQ-15 and more in the smallest footprint available, making it interchangeable between rifle and handgun.

  • UV from the same diode
  • Red visible output
  • IR infrared output
  • One lens no multiple diodes, lenses or housings

158 A · Subterranean operations

Built for where conventional optics fall short.

Underground, the UV emitter improves detection of fluorescent trip wires and chemical markers, while dedicated IR aiming and illumination channels support low-light navigation and engagement.

The dazzling module can deliver optical disruption, deterring unauthorized drones or obscuring sensor functionality. The compact, sealed housing resists moisture and debris intrusion, ideal for tunnel warfare, subterranean infrastructure clearing and confined-entry missions identifying trip wire or mine placement.
