ABSTRACT:
A marker beacon deployable by being launched through overhead foliage is able of landing atop and settling on the foliage for visual and infrared detection. A tether limits the flight range of the beacon and operates a switch to the electronic portion of the device to initiate radio signalling. The radio information assists in initial detection of the beacon by a seeking craft. Received signals from the seeking craft activate a flare stored within the beacon unit to further assist in locating the beacon. The beacon is also deployable by launch at sea, and by both place-and-leave and hand-held means on land and sea.
