LLM-VarioRay
The LLM-VarioRay has become one of the most recognized and widely adopted laser aiming devices within NATO forces. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern combat, this advanced system integrates three powerful lasers—two infrared and one visible—into a fully co-aligned factory laser block. Its reputation as a reliable and versatile tool has made it the first choice for soldiers requiring precision targeting and enhanced visibility in both day and night operations.

Enhanced Night Fighting Capabilities with LLM-VarioRay
The LLM-VarioRay significantly improves night and low-light combat effectiveness. Equipped with an electronically focusable infrared illuminator, the device allows operators to adapt quickly to changing battlefield conditions. The infrared aiming laser provides discreet targeting, while the visible laser—available in green or red—offers rapid acquisition in daylight or urban environments. Combined with an integrated white light, the system ensures soldiers maintain superior situational awareness during close-quarter engagements and long-range operations.

Eye-Safe Training Mode for Realistic Exercises
One of the standout features of the LLM-VarioRay is its eye-safe training mode. This capability allows military units to conduct force-on-force training without compromising safety. Laser output power is controlled through smart, color-coded trigger cables or dongles, a patented RSE innovation. White and blue cables are designated for training scenarios, while black and grey are reserved for operational combat use. This simple yet effective system ensures seamless transition between training and live missions.
LLM-VarioRay Features for Modern Combat
The device offers a wide range of features tailored to the needs of today’s armed forces:
- Electronically adjustable infrared illuminator for flexible use.
- Infrared and visible aiming lasers, co-aligned for precision.
- Diffuser option for indoor scenarios.
- Multiple white light lamp heads with varying outputs.
- Waterproof rating of IP68, tested up to 30 meters for two hours.
- Powered by two IEC CR17345/CR123 batteries, ensuring reliability in the field.
All lasers are factory-aligned to bore sight with a single adjustment, reducing the need for complex calibration. This makes the LLM-VarioRay not only effective but also user-friendly under combat stress.
Weapon Mounting and Tactical Integration
The LLM-VarioRay is designed for seamless integration with modern weapon platforms. It features a standard Picatinny mount (MIL-STD-1913/STANAG4694), ensuring compatibility with a wide range of NATO firearms. Additionally, an adapter is available to mount a Docter® sight directly on top of the device, further enhancing targeting precision and versatility.
