AtlasBeacon™ IR
The Atlas Beacon IR™ light is a consumable, multi-purpose infrared illumination and marking device. It’s ideal for location or object marking, area illumination, signaling, and identification during low-light operations with night vision equipment.
An innovative time-delay activation cycle prevents accidental illumination discharge, and it also allows you to activate the device and toss it to a location prior to it lighting up. This gives you the option of staying dark and covertly deploying an IR light source when there is the possibility that the enemy might be equipped with night vision systems as well.
A hands-free sling enhances versatility by facilitating quick and secure attachment to countless surfaces and objects, including PALS webbing, loop fabric, carabiners, doors, railings, branches, etc. In addition, hook tape is integrated into its design, meaning adhesive-backed loop tape can be paired to it, making it possible to temporarily attach the light to flat inclined or overhead surfaces.
Typical Applications
- Covertly illuminate rooms, tunnels, and areas with IR light when traditional means are not desirable, sufficient or possible.
- Designating/Marking Personnel, Equipment, Locations, Trails, Routes, Objects or Hazards
- Combat Clearance, Deconfliction, Signaling
- Distraction Device against Night Vision Equipped Enemy
