FireFly
The FireFly is a multispectral helmet-mounted IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) beacon that can be equipped with either an MWIR emitting head or an MWIR-LWIR emitting head, and can also emit in the NIR and visible (green) /SWIR wavelengths.
The low-SWaP IP67-rated beacon also offers haptic feedback, allowing the wearer to receive indication of different modes and low battery without the need for visual checks.
