Generator Marine Smoke and Flame L6/L7/L8
Description
The Generator Marine Smoke and Flame L6 / L7 / L8
(GMSF L6 / L7 / L8 ) has been designed to be deployed
from fixed wing and rotary aircraft in search activities,
or from the back of a ship to provide a smokelight for
Emergency Low Visibility Approaches (ELVA). The
user will hand-deploy the L6 / L7 / L8, which initiates
on contact with salt water, producing a red phosphorus flame and smoke for circa 5 minutes (L6), 20 minutes
(L7) and 40 minutes (L8).
Application
This display is unique: on ELVA pilots can use IR vision to locate the smokelight. A string of smokelights guide the user in all weather conditions (including dark and fog) to land on ships as per NATO MMP-02. These are also used under NATO Multinational Tactical Signal and Manoeuvring book requirements for submarine marking from aircraft and search markers. (MTP Vol2, AS102, TA147 & TA148)
