I ran across this on Solider System today. This device would have a myriad of uses in the realm of Milsim. I have yet to find pricing on even the product itself on CeJay’s sight, but I will keep an eye out – granted I doubt it will be affordable to the average Milsim player.
Hero is a versatile, reusable distraction and marking device which puts out bright flashes of light flashes (Green, Blue, White or Red LEDs) as well as a piercing sound. It is compact, extremely rugged, and able to withstand deployment from low-flying aircraft and moving vehicles. The Hero perfect for use in instances where a distraction device with explosive or flammable characteristics would be unsafe. When used as a distraction device, it is designed to be deployed in the vicinity of the suspect to create a non-lethal diversion. It’s plenty loud (~130dB at Source). As a marking device, its multi-directional light and sound can be seen and heard over considerable distance.

Not as pricy as you might think under $200.00 and by the way, they’re worth it! Had the chance to see one in action. The sound they make is very hard to be around, itches you brain after a few seconds. If you’re in a room with one, you can’t hear yourself think. The fuse on them is programmable. In addition, unless you know how to shut them off, you will never get it off. Very cool, worth the money and then some.
Check out “hero marking device” on youtube to see these devices being dropped from helicopters into marijuana cultivations. Designed to take a beating!
