Orion

The Orion is a multispectral helmet-mounted IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) beacon that radiates a powerful infrared signal that can be detected by LWIR & MWIR cameras, 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.
