An IR strobe allows for easy recognition and location status of friendly forces while maintaining covert operation in the field. This is a must-have accessory to assist avoiding friendly fire accidents and to support the overall safety of field personnel during night time missions. An IR strobe is only visible to personnel using night vision devices. It permits operators using night vision goggles, scopes, binoculars and other night vision tactical devices to maintain the exact location of their team members, search dogs, vehicles and pre-positioned equipment. You can throw a strobe to mark a location.
