DEVELOPMENT OF THE XM191-193 GROUND ILLUMINATION SIGNALS.

Abstract

The development of the XM191-193 series ground illumination signals for use during the hours of darkness was successfully accomplished. This report covers that development from the initial concept to the delivery of items for user evaluation. The signals have their own sealed ignition system, burn for a minimum of thirty seconds, and are provided in three colors: yellow, red and green. Packaged in a plastic cylindrical container, the signal is small and lightweight, and it provides a distinguishable light at a distance of up to three miles. (Author)
