Steiner Optics just dropped a serious new entry into the aiming/illumination world, and it’s not just for military and law-enforcement teams.
The Advanced Tactical Laser Aiming System—ATLAS—is now hitting the wider market, giving professional users and civilian buyers access to a compact, mission-flexible, five-emitter powerhouse built for today’s operational realities.

Five Emitters, One Zero, Real Mission Flexibility
The ATLAS runs a five-emitter layout designed to dominate everything from tight CQB rooms to long-range observation and target designation. The system includes:
- Visible laser
- NIR laser
- Long-range VCSEL illuminator
- Two NIR LED illuminators
All five work off a single set of adjusters, meaning operators get quick zeroing and reliable co-alignment, no matter which emitter they’re pushing.
Ergonomics Built for Work, Not Looks
Steiner clearly built the ATLAS around handling. A low-profile, integrated mount keeps the unit tight to the rail and plays nicely with standard optics.
A five-position mode selector and three tactile buttons let shooters switch tasks instantly, even under pressure. Add in ambidextrous controls, and the ATLAS is equally at home for left- and right-handed shooters, gloved or not.
Lightweight, Rugged, and Ready to Travel
The unit’s magnesium-alloy construction keeps weight down while delivering serious durability in harsh environments.
High, medium, and low output modes let users match illumination power to rapidly shifting mission needs, whether that’s stealth work in tight spaces or long-range target marking under NODs.
The ATLAS hits that sweet spot: compact, low-profile, and rugged enough for professional deployment without the bulk penalty some legacy units drag behind them.
