US NightVision Phoenix Jr. Infrared Beacon

The Phoenix Jr. Infrared Beacon from US Night Vision is a durable low-cost marker beacon designed for individual combat marking. It is commonly used in the field for vehicle marking, drop zone signaling, perimeter indication, and discriminating friendly forces from small arms fire. Since its introduction in 1984, the Phoenix Jr. is among the most popular electronic combat ID systems in use by US and Allied Armed Forces.

The Phoenix Jr. provides 240 x 360 degree coverage in a lightweight energy-efficient 3 LED lighting configuration. Activate the beacon simply by attaching a 9-volt battery. The 20 millisecond fixed flash signature is intended to distinguish the Phoenix Jr. from other beacons and identification systems.
