SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND FEATURES:The Phoenixis the first pocket-size user-programmable infrared (IR) beacon designed for individual combat identification (CID). It is invisible to the naked eye, but with night vision systems has been seen from as far away as 20 miles. It is perfect for the clandestine marking and positive identification of individuals, airdrop bundles, vehicles, routes and landing zones. In company-size operations, use several to identify the forward line of troops (FLOT) for night close air support (night CAS) strikes. In fast-moving combat operations, use it to identify friendlies and avoid fratricide. SpecOps teams use Phoenix to facilitate night rendezvous. The primary advantage of Phoenix is its instant no-tool field encoding capability. It allows any user to easily enter and change the flashing code. Any metallic object can be used to enter a code.

A built-in microminiature red lamp flashes the sequence as you enter it. At the end of four seconds, a built-in microminiature green lamp will flash - signalling the memory is full. Phoenix is now emitting your code. to eyeball-test, short the pins. The built-in microminiature green lamp will flash your code, verifying operation.
