ABSTRACT:
A lane marker preferably for delivery by a CATFAE weapon, has a mechanical imed device which is positioned and rides in the rear section of the CATFAE weapon as it is launched to a specified position on the ground. At first contact of the CATFAE with the ground, the lane marker is ejected vertically a short distance away from the ground and then falls onto the ground. On the ground the lane marker attitude is controlled for effective employment. Spring-biased probes deploy the makers which typically comprise two flags and two chemiluminescent lights to mark the impact point of the CATFAE. The two chemiluminescent lights are activated mechanically by cloud detonation overpressure prior to deployment of the spring-biased probes.
