Programmable Remote Infrared Synchronized Marker
The PRISM Synchronized marking system is designed to deliver positive, long range, covert identification of marked assets, personnel, or landmarks.

This system is comprised of a PRISM-SPS (Synchronized Pulse Source) unit and any number of PRISM units. The PRISM-SPS unit continuously flashes an encoded, factory set†, pulse of IR light. Any PRISM unit that is within a PRISM-SPS unit's range and line of sight will be instantaneously and automatically synchronized to the PRISM-SPS' pulse rate. The pulse rate timing is stored in memory so that PRISMs may be dispersed over a wide area yet still remain synchronized though they are not in range of a PRISM-SPS anymore. An on-board timer insures that pulse drift over extended periods of time is minimal when not in range of a PRISM-SPS.

A synchronized beacon group can be easily detected from a distance. Instead of being just a cluster of random flashes, this synchronized array is easily spotted from a long range and accurately depicts the group's position and orientation.

Unique pulse codes for each PRISM-SPS can also further aid in identifying different PRISM Groups such as LZ markers, ground party "fences" and target markers. The light pulse is designed to look like a definite beacon pulse, when viewed through NVGs, and not mistaken for enemy muzzle flashes.

PRISM is the next generation of smart marking beacons.
