Warrior GloTape
Durable and requires no power - yet effective at over 800 feet.
Warrior GloTape Subdued Infrared (IR) Reflective Flags are manufactured
from specially-formulated material that only reflects infrared (IR)
wavelengths when illuminated by light sources such as targeting lasers.
When viewed with military night vision IR systems, the reflected IR
light provides a simple marking method that identifies friendly persons
to team members at distances up to 800 meters. Flags are 2.125" x 3.5" and
available with Velcro hook or peel-and-stick backing. Full color Red,
White and Blue American flags reflect both IR and visible light.
These Flags are proudly manufactured in the USA

Features and
Specifications
INCREASED TROOP SURVIVABILITY
- Will not reveal unit location to combatants - To the naked eye, Warrior GloTape looks like black duct tape, yet with NVG equipment, it provides a stealth method for teams to identify specific units.
- Limited field of IR reflection - Infrared light is only reflected back to the viewer in a 5 degree cone from center. Only those meant to identify troops or vehicles will be able to do so.
- Long-range effectiveness - When illuminated with military Infrared Lighting, Warrior GloTape markers are visible at up to 800 meters. Military teams are given enough time to identify and react to ground movement.
OPERATION... In the same way that coatings on modern combat fighter jets are tuned to
absorb radar wavelengths, Warrior GloTape uses a specially-formulated coating
to catch select visible light bands and only reflect IR wavelengths. While it
is true that some visible light is reflected back from the surface, reflection
in low-light conditions is considered to be almost zero. The reflected IR
light amount is substantial, and coupled with military night vision IR systems
creates a beacon of light which marks a friendly unit to team members.
Reflected high-frequency light (IR) can come from ambient light, illuminated ENVIS gear, or lasers. Targeted lasers provide the greatest infrared return while viewed through ENVIS equipment.
CONSTRUCTION... Products made from the Warrior GloTape materials are durable and easy to care
for. Much of this is owed to the technology behind the patch and construction
techniques. 3M reflective material provides the basic
reflective qualities for Warrior GloTape. Familiar in construction and highway
use, the 3M layer is pliant and extremely durable. A masking is applied to the
surface of the 3M material, effectively turning the layer black and non
reflective to all but infrared light.
All layers, plus any design art, are permanently adhered to a hook-and-loop substrate using Warrior GloTape exclusive Fused Edge technology. Fused Edge patches and labels will not separate, tear, or fray.
USAGE... Warrior GloTape technology is extremely application flexible. Currently it is being used to protect soldiers with Patches, Armbands, and Helmet SCHIMS. The same protection is offered to heavy and light vehicles in the form of side markers.

Warrior GloTape is an infrared (IR) reflective material intended for the covert combat identification of troops, vehicles and equipment. It is most commonly used to prevent fratricide (the inadvertent killing of friendly forces). To the naked eye, GloTape appears to be similar to black duct tape in both texture and finish without a visible reflective glow. When illuminated with the infrared diode on standard Night Vision Goggles (NVG's), the GloTape gives a bright reflection that is clearly visible up to 70 meters away. The bright reflection from an infrared laser can be seen up to 900 meters using a 6-power night vision scope. GloTape is available in a variety of sizes and cuts to fit the individual needs of the user.
