From the flip-up cap and red pushbutton, it looks like an IZLID infrared laser pointer/illuminator, but I can't find the exact model that you've pictured.
Basically, think of it like a big laser pointer, but instead of a visible laser it uses a near-infrared laser that's invisible to the naked eye. It shows up great when using night-vision devices, though.
One example of how they're used is in air strikes. A Forward Air Controller (FAC) on the ground can use the pointer to designate a target for the incoming strike aircraft, essentially saying "hey guys, bomb this thing I'm pointing at!".

While it may be an IZLID Infrared Zoom Laser Illumination Designator, it may also be used to project visible light for target intimidation. It looks a bit like the "Glare Mount". See: http://www.auroratactical.com/product.php?productid=16355&cat=0&page=1

Good call! It looks *exactly* like the GLARE MOUT you linked to.

If it really is a Glare Mout, then the price tag on that baby is north of $6600.00 US according to http://www.auroratactical.com/product.php?productid=16355&cat=0&page=1.
Whoa! I think I just messed my pants.
