144 Schim – Infrared Marker

The 144 Schim is a Infrared IFF device that fits into the button holes on a standard GI Helmet Cover. They produce a distinct glow when infrared light is shown on them, but only when viewed through night vision devices. These small patches are used as IFF devices for friendly forces and make it much easier to keep track of team mates during night operations. IR Reflective patches are only available to active duty U.S. Military and Law Enforcement Personnel. Agency/Military credentials are required to order.

IR Reflective Patches are extremely important for any tactical team. Blue on blue situations can happen very easily at night. Night vision devices are not magic and can sometimes create confusion in dynamic movement. IR hardware helps to quickly identify friendlies. The 144 Schim is a great little device because it does not require Velcro Loop patches on the operator’s helmet. Since most active duty U.S. Military personnel are required to use a helmet cover, the Schim is a perfect solution for field IFF.
