The ACR Field Marker Light System is an evolutionary refinement of signaling technology that exemplifies how we can improve upon and redefine the application of existing systems. Working with the United States military, ACR Electronics provided a solution to a critical combat situation problem.

Under certain circumstances, portable landing field/drop zone lights may, in a hostile environment, draw fire when activated. By making them remotely controlled, personnel can get under cover after the lights are placed, reducing the risk of discovery. Once positioned, the lights need only be turned on for the minimum time needed to bring in aircraft. They can be activated and deactivated in any sequence by remote control.

The ACR Field Marker System was used during Operation Desert Storm, a testimony to its readiness, versatility and reliability. Although the need and concept developed from a specific combat situation, ACR’s Field Marker Systems can find applications in other areas as well. Using either remote control or manual activation. The system can be used for rescue missions by special forces or as a portable landing system in place of costly permanent air field systems; in military situations, the system can help guide cargo aircraft for supply drops or deploy airborne forces.

The remote control switching module of the Field Marker Light Systems can be readily adapted to any situation requiring a remote controlled electrical on/off function. The small size makes it easy to integrate with any design configuration, and the unit is weather resistant.

Since the introduction of the Field Marker System, ACR has expanded it to be available in sequential version as well.
