Abstract

The purpose of this thesis are as follows: (1) to determine the requirements of a visual ground to air marking system for use by ground combat or patrol type units in a counterinsurgency environment; (2) To report the results of an experiment designed to give the answers to the problem above; (3) To make recommendations as to a possible way to get workable marking systems in the U.S. Army inventory. Chapter 1 presents the background. Chapter II contains the experiment design. Five variables are tested: smoke, panels, red cross marker, pyrotechnics, and a balloon system.
