Illumination And Sound Signal

Illumination and Sound Signal are two types of pyrotechnic devices that fall under the supply class Pyrotechnics in the supply group Ammunition and Explosives.

1. Illumination: Illumination pyrotechnics are designed to produce a bright light source, typically used for lighting up a specific area or providing visibility in low-light conditions. These devices are commonly used in military operations, search and rescue missions, and signaling purposes. They can be launched from various platforms such as handheld flares, parachute flares, or ground-based devices.

2. Sound Signal: Sound signal pyrotechnics are designed to produce a loud noise or sound, serving as an audible warning or communication method. These devices are commonly used in maritime operations, emergency situations, and signaling purposes. They can be launched from handheld devices, marine distress signals, or other specialized equipment.

Both illumination and sound signal pyrotechnics are regulated due to their potential hazards and are typically used in controlled environments by trained personnel. It is important to follow proper safety protocols and regulations when handling and using these devices.
