The Lead Jumper can switch the mode of the HEL-STAR to a Max Bright signal with a flashing Morse code 'D' strobe pattern to ensure all members of the team can properly identify him. Even under canopy the light will be clearly visible by the team, in the visible or the IR spectrum.
- Spectrum Options - Visible (White, Green), NIR (890nm)
- Safety - Unique battery access design provides a snag-free profile on all sides. Primary Velcro® attachment provides emergency peel-away to reduce potential for injury.
- Visibility - Omni-directional. Intensities can be scaled up or down for special requirements. White flash exceeds FAA 3-statute mile parachuting requirement.
- Simple, Secure Operation - Switches are designed for positive operation by a gloved-hand, in the blind, with the helmet donned. Mode selection switch design options provide operational flexibility or strong security between overt and covert operating modes.
- Operating Extremes - HEL-STAR 6® is shock and vibration resistant, dustproof and open sea waterproof to 130 fsw (laboratory 300+ feet). Optional screw closure for battery door is available for diving operations. Every unit is waterproof tested at final inspection—without screw closure.
