• The Infraloc markers and beacons have been in production since 1982 and were initially conceived to fulfil an anti-terrorist role, however, it soon became apparent that there were many more operational requirements that could utilise the infrared emitting diode (LED).
   
• Due to demand and customisation for specific user specifications, the Infraloc range of equipment soon had many configurations encompassing many uses requiring both visible light (white light) and infrared.
   
• The units are generally very lightweight, small in size, robust, quick to deploy and retrieve.  The light sources are in most cases used with a very narrow angle of view, providing very good security from unwanted observation.
   
• When operational requirements dictate, other beacons with wider angles can be supplied.  This is achieved by the use of infrared and white light (coloured LEDs) that have a wider angle of emission and therefore 90 degree, 120 degree or full omni-directional illumination can be provided. 
   
• There are several accessories that can be provided to assist deployment:  magnetic holdfast stakes, several mounting bracket configuations, and remote control systems. 
   
• Our in-house design and build enables us to manufacture and meet customers' special requirements.

Some typical deployment and operational applications (for example):

• Ground operations - Rendezvous and routes, minefield clearance, personnel/equipment markers, vehicle convoy marking
   
• Ground-to-air operations - Heli-landing spot marking, approach lighting, taxiway aircraft marshallin, landing/parachute pathfinding
   
• Maritime operations - Shore landing marking, beach markers, aids to navigation, vessel identification, safety covert emergency beacon
