Z-Bolt® Infrared Training Lasers, Executive Brief


What We Have Done

BOLT manufactures Z-Bolt® branded green, red, and infrared “field utility lasers”. Hand-held, man-portable, inexpensive, easy to operate, extremely effective. Over 40,000 Z-Bolt® Field Utility Lasers shipped downrange to Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo, Syria, & MFO units since 2006. Z-Bolt® Field Utility Lasers utilize COTS (consumer off the shelf) laser components and modules. Sourcing components that are widely used in industry enables the production of laser systems that are simple, portable, adaptable, and affordable. Yet these laser systems remain extremely effective, crafted and customized for specific battlefield applications or mission goals. Z-Bolt® Lasers are either FDA Class 1 (Infrared) or FDA Class IIIa (Green, Red, Blue, IR) and do not require LEP or special SOP manuals to operate. Z-Bolt® IR Training lasers (hand-held & weapons mounted) are FDA Certified Class 1, Civilian Legal, and Eye-Safe. And ALL Z-Bolt® systems are priced to accommodate reduced budgets and permit wide deployment throughout your infantry force; police unit; squadron; platoon. Field Utility Lasers provide law enforcement; military infantry; rotary wing air crews with an effective and precise silent signaling tool to reduce operational errors while decreasing radio chatter; to improve situational awareness; for non-lethal escalation of force – to “hail & warn”.
