Z-Bolt® Products For 2017
IR Lasers for Rotary Wing Aviation
Safe, Precise, Non-Verbal Comms
MARK-1ir / Training & Signaling
MARK-4ir / Marking & Gun Mounting
Rotary aircraft crews require laser technology that can be safely used in training environments and in laser safety restricted air spaces and/or live fire exercises. They need a capability that provides for safe, precise, visual, and non-verbal communication between pilots and crew; between crew and ground support; to mark LZ's; for signaling & "target talk on"; to point out obstacles, terrain features, or even aircraft rotors to insure obstacle clearance. We are matching mission and training tasks to the appropriate laser capability & power output. Crews require "eye safe" power outputs; portability, ease of use, economic pricing; either weapons mounted or hand-held by crews, gunners, and pilots; laser use through closed door windows (rubber hood in development - see .pdf).

SGT - Aviation Operations Specialist, 3 HBCT, 1st CAV
“During my tour in Afghanistan, I worked as the night shift brigade aviation NCOIC. Before our FOB received an ATC complement, I used my [BTG-10G] green laser to mark the LZ for aircraft new to the AO. In addition our FO’s used them to mark areas while conducting operations in and around the battle space. In addition, I plan on using the BTG-10G to mark Non-Standard LZ’s on my next deployment.”
SFC - 3rd BN 20th SFG (A)
“My team and I identified and avoided 3 tripwire IED’s on our last rotation to AFG, at night, and our NVG’s didn’t “see” them.
The Z-Bolt® C-TRIP-10ir did.”
