Recent examples of the latest products developed by Cyalume® are: ChemLight® II, RAZORBACK™ – Route Clearance Marking Solutions, VisiPad™ marking emitters, ToTaL IR™ covert Tag, Track & Locate powder, and the HG1 Hand Grenade Trainer.

Introducing the new MilSpec Light Output Standard…ChemLight® II

Thanks to an important work made on R&D, Cyalume is proud to announce that the new formulation of its ChemLight® light sticks exceed the current Military specifications. ChemLight® II is twice more powerful than previous specifications light output.

New Razorback™ Route Clearance Marking System

The Razorback System is the latest innovation to aid in route clearance. It provides safe lane marking visibility in day, night, and blackout (IR) operations. The Razorback is simple to install and maintain, requires minimal electronics and sensors and can be controlled from inside the cabin via a hand controller.

VisiPad™: Rectangular Marking Emitter

Ultra-flat and ultra-light, VisiPad™ is a rectangular and space saving (11 cm x 6 cm) chemical light device. VisiPad™ has a self-adhesive backing that allows for placement on patients, buildings or other structures in various environments including ATEX areas. With a 10 -hour duration, VisiPad™ is waterproof and non-toxic with a phthalate-free formulation; it provides light without heat, sparks or gas emission.

ToTaL IR™: Tag, Track & Locate Infrared Light Emitting Powder

ToTaL IR™ is a non-toxic, infrared powder in Brown or Tan which can detect intrusion into restricted areas, and shows the direction taken. As opposed to conventional and costly high-tech detection systems, ToTaL IR™ is much more down to earth. You simply mix two powders to get an immediate and powerful infrared emission for 3 to 7 days, depending on the environment. This technology, based on chemiluminescence, consists of mixing two solids instead of two liquids to get a powder that is only visible with night vision equipment. ToTaL IR™ sticks to shoes, tires, clothes, money, contraband etc., allowing intruder identification.

HG1: Hand Grenade Trainer. The newest product in Cyalume® Battlefield Effects Simulators

The HG1 Hand Grenade Trainer is part of the range of Battlefield Effects Simulators made by Cyalume®. It allows instructors to produce high-realistic training environments and helps trainees to immerse in true-to-life situations so that they can train safely under realistic conditions. The intense audible shock effect (120 dB) and visible shock-effect (smoke signature of 3m x 3m) delivered by the HG1, replicate real-world detonations.
