Road Markers: Route and Defile

Road Markers: Route and Defile

The Route and Defile Markers are robust, flexible, and effective self-luminous devices designed to ensure the rapid and reliable definition of routes, bridges, and minefields during low visibility or nighttime conditions. They are ideal for military applications requiring clear and secure navigation without the need for batteries, bulbs, or maintenance.

Key Features

  • Reliable performance in all environmental conditions.
  • Betalight® luminance preserves night vision.
  • Limited 140° viewing angle for enhanced security.
  • Color options for functional differentiation.
  • No power source or maintenance required.
  • Lightweight, portable, and easy to deploy.
  • Long operational life, with continuous illumination for 10 years.
  • NATO Stock Number: Defile 6210-99-209-4968.

Typical Applications

Route and Defile Markers emit 400 microlamberts (µL) of light, providing visibility in starlight conditions up to 100 meters. The light source is recessed to limit the viewing angle to 140°, ensuring directional visibility while enhancing security. The markers maintain brightness in varying environmental conditions, unaffected by temperature, humidity, altitude, or vibration.

These markers are ideal for:

  • Minefield marking: Defining the perimeter and safe lanes through a minefield.
  • Bridge marking: Indicating bridge dimensions, visible even on low-profile bridges when elevated.
  • Route marking: Clear route indication via attachment to poles, trees, or wires.
  • Route designation: Assigning specific route functions through color configurations.
