Signal & Screening

Battlefield Illumination

For modern militaries (and law enforcement agencies), the ability to dominate areas of operations is largely dependent on having an effective and reliable night fighting capability.

The most obvious effect of night time is reduced visibility – normally favouring offensive formations.

Wescom Defence has developed a range of hand-fired rockets, for various payloads and parachute suspension (large area illumination, visual and infra-red) or free falling signalling flares. Ranges from 300 to 1,000 metres.

MERS is a smokeless rocket system carrying various payloads for parachute suspension (large area illumination, visual and infra-red) or free-falling flares for signalling and Wescom Defence illumination rockets enable random surveillance to reveal enemy movement, illuminate ambush situations (to reveal targets) or used as target illuminators for weapon systems.
