Although it doesn't seem like it, having the right distinguishing IR flag is a science. Combat Systems uses the best available technology and quality materials for theirs. In addition, they are produced directly in the Czech Republic, so the quality is guaranteed here.
The distinguishing mark of the IR flag of the Czech Republic is based on a non-flammable, above-average resistant matte material that reflects light with a wavelength of 3 to 12 micrometers. Most of the night vision devices with IR illuminator that are used by NATO armies work in this spectrum.
The company Combat Systems uses a special processing technology for its distinguishing flags, which differs from the competition in its longer life and the fact that there is no peeling of the cover film, which usually leads to irreversible damage to the IR patch.
IR identification signs and flags from Combat Systems can be used in a wide range of temperatures, namely from -40 °C to +90 °C. Thanks to this, it is also suitable for transport in the cargo spaces of military aircraft, which are not heated and there are considerable temperature fluctuations.
The IR identification mark of the Czech Republic from Combat Systems is equipped with a Velcro fastener that can be attached to the appropriate Velcro panels of tactical clothing or equipment. This makes the patch quite versatile as it is compatible with most equipment.
