This contract will be funded with the appropriate procurement; research, development, test and evaluation; and operations and maintenance funds. Fiscal 2022, 2023 and 2024 procurement funds in the amount of $7,545,230 are being obligated at time of award on the first delivery order. The work will be performed in Manchester, New Hampshire, and is expected to be completed by Aug. 29, 2029. U.S. Special Operations Command, MacDill Air Force Base, Florida, is the contracting activity.

Weapons mounted range finders are commercially available for interim capability but require further development andintegration with visual augmentation systems (VAS) to achieve MAS-L objectives.
Envision offered the Miniature Advanced Rangefinder System – Light (MARS-L). The contract is for Range Aiming Laser (RAL) systems, spares, Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs), repairs and New Equipment training (NET) in support of U.S. Special Operations Command (SOF AT&L).
