Key Features
- Covert Activation: The IR ID products activate only in the presence of IR laser or light, making them ideal for discreet identification.
- Passive Material: Crafted from materials engineered to absorb all visible light while selectively reflecting infrared wavelengths.
- Customizable IR Wavelength: Reflects IR within the 0.7-1.4 micron range, allowing customization for specific applications.
- Narrow-Angle Reflection: The reflected IR is emitted at a narrow angle, ensuring that it is visible only from the viewpoint of the IR source.
- Enhanced Security: Offers an additional layer of security by utilizing unique IR technology for identification.
- Versatile Applications: Suitable for a variety of identification needs in both civilian and military contexts.
- Non-Intrusive Design: Integrates seamlessly into existing systems without impacting their functionality.
- Reliable Performance: Ensures consistent operation across diverse environmental conditions.
Applications and Advanced Features
-
Uniform Identification: Subdued IR flags, mission tags, and blood type patches for covert deployment.
-
Search and Rescue: GTAS panels offer passive IR visibility for aerial search operations.

REDeye® Infrared Identification Systems
Infrared light operates within the electromagnetic spectrum just beyond visible red light. IR patches utilize:
-
Thermal Imaging: Captures IR radiation naturally emitted by objects.
-
IR Image Intensifiers: Use IR illumination and bounce-back reflection to enhance visibility without revealing the user.
REDeye® IR products maximize reflectivity to work with night vision devices, bouncing back infrared light directly to the viewer for enhanced contrast and recognition.
