The Advanced Target Pointer Illuminator Aiming Laser (ATPIAL AN/PEQ-15), known colloquially as the "PEQ-15" [], produced by L3Harris (originally designed and manufactured by Insight Technology until their acquisition by L3Harris in 2010), is a multi-function infrared target pointer and illuminator (i.e. a laser aiming module [LAM]) for use on firearms via a Picatinny rail mounting system. In accordance with the Joint Electronics Type Designation System (JETDS), the "AN/PEQ-15" designation represents the 15th design of an Army-Navy electronic device for portable laser combination equipment. The JETDS system also now is used to name all Department of Defense electronic systems. The PEQ-15 was brought into service in 2003 during the global war on terrorism. The PEQ-15 is the most widely used LAM on the market, having been the standard issue for American regular forces, and still the standard issue for US Army and the SOPMOD kit, however some military units are moving to the new L3Harris AN/PEQ-16; with the United States Marine Corps adopting the PEQ-16 with the adoption of the M27 Infantry Automatic Rifle, and even more advanced LAMs being fielded by others, including the Australian Army that began moving to PEQ-16's in 2016 and supplementing infantry squads with the L3Harris Squad Rangefinder (SRF).
