In doing so, however, it is important to be aware of how they function. This will allow you to store them in optimum conditions and possibly get more life out of them. When using Night Vision Goggles you can easily see this near Infrared light – so you can use that to your advantage. IR chemlights use specific chemicals (with scary names like “N-dibutylaminoanthracene”) to produce near infrared light instead of visible light.

The “near infra-red” (NIR) spectrum of light is invisible to the human eye – but it can be easily seen with the Image Intensification (II or I2) technology used in Night Vision Goggles. AFRL’s technology transfer office then partnered with Battle Sight Technologies LLC, an Ohio-based startup founded by military veterans, to manufacture the new chemiluminescent chalk.

This can be achieved by placing them in a separate room or by using a poncho(s) to mask their sight Binoculars • Chemical Detector • Chemlights • Compass • Flares • Flashlights • GPS • Infrared Strobes • Laser Designator • Mine Detector • Night Vision Goggles • Parachutes • Radios • Rangefinders • Smoke Grenades • Spectrum Device • Toolkit • UAV Terminal • Watch As explained earlier, chemlights come with expiration dates based on the date they were manufactured. With that being said, it is possible to extend their useful shelflife. KIAs should be place in a 'body bag'; covered by a poncho(s) or at the very least be hidden from sight Air Force officials held up the chemlight replacement technology as an example of public-private partnerships streamlining the development process.

As one of the lightest pieces of equipment in ArmA 3, chemlights serve as a relatively stamina-efficient means of providing instant illumination whenever the user needs it.

Red is... well, you could probably build a dark room with it, with a .1 into green, and alpha to .6 to not melt your eyeballs.Electronic devices like IR Strobes and Beacons are more flexible, have more features, and also cost significantly more. Larry Brott, an engineer with AFRL’s materials and manufacturing directorate, came up with the idea after years of working in the automotive adhesives industry, where he used similar designs. Every chemlight consists of at least two chemicals within a base solution contained in a sealed tube. The two chemicals are kept separate by housing one in a smaller brittle container within the larger outer flexible container. a b c d Bindra, Perminder S.; Burris, Andrew D.; Carlson, Carl R.; Smith, Joann M.; Tyler, Orville Z. and Watson, David L.
