Invented by a police officer, the new PowerFlare® PF-200 Tactical Beacon is an essential piece of equipment to have in a wide range of law enforcement and military scenarios.  PowerFlare Tactical Beacons can be used to extend the range of night vision equipment by providing Infrared (IR) source illumination.  For example, a SWAT member can deploy a PowerFlare unit
into a search area and be able to see further with NVG equipment.  Works with all generations of NVGs.  10 user-selectable flash patterns.

This compact (4”) device emits 360 degrees of IR LED light (invisible to the humaneye), visible for up to 10 miles away with NVGs or FLIR (on low-light camera mode).  It is waterproof and so tough, you can run it over with a firetruck.  (See video on www.powerflare.com).

Applications include:
--Personnel ID (IFF)
--NVG illuminator (confined space, building search, etc.)
--Mark drop areas, assets, targets (narco surveillance)
--SCUBA diving and marine operations: waterproof to 80 ft. & positively buoyant (floats)
--Rescue Signal (extraction)
--Covert Helicopter Landing Zones (LZ)
--Visible light models also available: red, yellow, blue, green, white

Unlike flashlights with alkaline batteries or light sticks, PowerFlare units can handle extreme temperatures, can be used in HAZMAT and EOD situations (intrinsically safe), and feature an amazing 10 year storage/shelf life with lithium batteries that never leak. The LED bulbs are unbreakable and can operate thousands of hours.

PowerFlare IR Tactical Beacons are currently in use by military Special Forces as well as law enforcement tactical (SWAT) teams.
