When the Man Portable ZM-06 Laser Dazzler just isn't powerful nor long range enough, it is time to come out swinging with the CLM-01 Common Laser Module. Intended to be mounted on a variety of platforms, from prison guard towers, to massive superdreadnoughts, the CLM-01 is highly versatile mounted laser dazzler, that when attacked to proper guidance systems can equally blind men, and machine, or men in machines.
Take down fighters from bomber turrets without fear of retaliation with the CLM-01 Common Laser Module, by blinding their missiles and the pilots with a focused beam of IR, UV and Visible Light LASERs. Send advancing infantry crawling back to their trenches from up to an impressive 50km temporary blindness and pain in clear weather. And finally show hotshot admirals commanding from the bridge why they should have stayed in their well kept beds by permanently blinding them from a gunboat.

Originally designed as an upgrade of the ZM-06 MANPLAD, design studies showed that semiconductor lasers weren't able to maintain enough power to do so. Adaptive optics and processor cores were added to the system and still it did not perform to PROJECT ORCHID's specifications for a long range, common laser module.
A Yttrium solid state laser with frequency doubling solved the problem, and the CLM-01 Common Laser Module was born. A combination of both an upgraded ZM-06 MANPLAD and a Yttrium solid state laser, the CLM-01 would switch between them depending on the situation.
For ranges between 0-7km for Blinding bursts of light on 4 different wavelengths, an array of 4 ZM-06 MANPLADs would fire simultaneously. Using new adaptive optics and a central processing core to control the adaptive optics can send man and machine blinding blasts of energy downrange.
Meant to be applied against small boats, dazzle nearby ship's optical systems, or as a last minute defense against light homing weapons, it can disorient people or devices equally well with a series of 15 mW blasts.
For larger work at up to 50km for temporary blindness, enough to disorient people on nearby beaches, or to confuse missiles at long range, there is a grid of 30 solid state lasers which pulse at 5 Hz to prevent excessive thermal damage to the larger grid. Firing up to 100mW pulses in up to 20 different tunable frequencies from far infrared to ultraviolet.
Length: 1520mm
Width: 1300mm
Power output: 15 mW, 5 pulses per second, at four wavelengths. 100mW, 5 pulses per second, at 20 wavelengths.
Maximum range (blinding): 7-18km
Maximum range (temporary blinding): 20-50km
Power requirements: Draws large amount of power, generator power required.
