Beacon Replacement

Abstract

Beacon Replacement is an effort to replace approximately 15,000 beacons installed in ejection seats and back-style parachutes world-wide. Suitable Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) replacements are available. This replacement will optionally add two-way 'line-of-sight' voice communications, though the need for voice requires additional development. Of note, this effort was titled "Voice in Beacon" in previous Air Force budget submissions and has been renamed to allow for replacement beacons that do not include voice communications.
