ABSTRACT:
A battery powered self-contained source of infrared or other optical spectrum emission is disclosed. The emission source is provided with airdrop and other dispersal arrangements and is disposed in the form of an enclosed spherical or other housing which includes adjustment ports, adjusting tools, and tether cord attachment devices. The optical emission output of the disclosed source is adjustable as to flash duration and between-flash delay. In decoy device use the source is intended for multiple source deployments in a combat zone where the device output is collectively construable as a multiplicity of human originated emission events of random infrared energy pulses and is thereby capable of deceiving a night vision apparatus equipped enemy. Other uses of the invention including terrain marking and personnel location identification are also disclosed.
