The AX Eagle ID Thermal Patch provides a recognizable identification marker for American personnel, built for use in modern, multi-spectrum operational environments.
Key Features
- No power or batteries are required. Runs off body heat and the atmosphere.
- No active emissions
- Visible under thermal imaging and standard visual observation
- Does NOT reflect IR light.
- Compatible with standard hook-and-loop mounting on uniforms and gear
- Lightweight, low-profile construction.
The AX Eagle ID Thermal Patch is used where reliable identification across multiple sensor types is required, without introducing the complexity or risk associated with powered systems or active emissions. Integrated directly into existing uniforms and gear, it provides a persistent identification marker that requires no activation or user input.
The patch enables visual and thermal recognition by ground elements and supporting assets, including UAS platforms and other overhead or ground-level sensors. In environments saturated with thermal and electro-optical systems, it supports rapid confirmation of American personnel.
By functioning passively, the patch allows identification between ground units in low-light or obscured conditions without relying on IR illumination or radio transmissions, helping limit observer exposure. It is also effective in dense, human-populated environments, where friendly personnel can otherwise be difficult to distinguish among numerous thermal signatures.
