The An/PEQ-1 SOF Laser Marker (SOFLAM) is the special operations unit-specific laser rangefinding and designating unit providing the capability to locate and designate critical enemy targets for destruction using laser guided ordnance.
The unit is lighter and smaller than current laser markers; better reliability and availability than current system. The Army began to take delivery of 296 units in May 1996. The SOFLAM is currently in use with Army Special Forces and Rangers, Navy SEALs, and Air Force Special Tactics Squadrons.
