The See/Rescue Streamer is the new patented signaling device that provides survivors with a large continuous visual target for rescue. See/Rescue Streamer consists of an elongated bright orange-colored high-density polyethylene (HDPE) streamer with sealed air-filled struts at regular intervals that keep it afloat. The bright orange color offers a readily visible contrast with most terrain or water environments.
See/Rescue Streamer's U.S. Military-approved design provides a substantial increase in a person's visual target size, ranging from 50 times to 240 times enlargement. A larger visual target significantly increases a survivor's probability of detection and rescue, as well as enabling survivors to be located quickly as a result of the unique color/shape contrast relative to normal background environments.
See/Rescue Streamers do not require chemicals, batteries, or electronics to function.
See/Rescue Streamer units are available in various sizes and carrying cases depending on the specific application. All RescueStreamer units have attachment clips and float in the stowed configuaration.
The See/Rescue Streamer: Is visible over a mile away at 1500' altitude, Has a bright orange contrasts with desert, forest, snow, and ocean, Conveys the universal distress symbols, Has specialized struts keep it afloat and at full length, with no twisting or curling, Makes sure you're seen despite your condition, Deploys in seconds; just attach and unroll, Floats in the stored and extended configurations, Can be concealed when enemies are present, redeployed when they're gone (and repeated as necessary), Signals continuously even if you're injured or asleep, Can be deployed with one hand.
(Optional retro-reflective material works as a mirror signaling device; reflected light can be seen with night vision goggles (a Coast Guard SAR standard), Costly maintenance/replacement at regular intervals unnecessary since See/Rescue Streamer is constructed of inert materials, Increases visibility, Signals longer than 8 hours, Works without batteries, Won't fade or blow away, Provides night signaling, Relays International Distress.
