Tactical Signalling & Marking
Effective communication between forces is an essential element of military operations. Wescom Defence manufactures a range of Mini Flares, Multi Coloured Smoke and Signal Cartridges. These enable effective position marking to include landing zones and wind direction.
Hand Thrown Coloured Smoke
Smoke Grenades provide combat forces with a means of communication/signalling during daylight. Besides individual signalling codes, smoke grenades are used to indicate wind direction (helicopter landing) or marking drop zones.
Signal Cartridges (16, 19mm, 26.5mm, 38mm)
Signal Cartridges are fired from pistols to provide a short range signal in both white light and infra-red light conditions. Multi Colour Cartridges are available (red, green, white, yellow and illuminating). These can also be used for communications between combat forces and battlefield reconnaissance at night.
Ground Flare Indicating Yellow
Marking landing zones, and wind direction indicators for aircraft as well as highlighting an emergency landing path.
Buoyant Smoke Cartridge (40mm, Orange)
Designed to assess wind speed and direction over water when carrying out activities such as shipboard landings and casualty evacuation.
Parachutist Signal Smoke
Wescom ParaSmokeTM was specifically designed for use by parachutists to mark their descent course during training and for parachutist displays. Can be used as a smoke generator for any situation where a large volume of coloured smoke is required.
