Infra-Red Aerial Signals Rocket

This is a new item, available to IOs purchasable for between 5-15 pts. A pack a special flares. These flares are sleek and universally camouflaged. They can be ignited almost silently and give off a dim red light to regular viewers. They interfere with NVGs when viewed with night-vision enabled. They provide a CAS signal and a camera feed on the intelligence OW. They provide the co-ordinate of the tile they are sitting on. They are hard to see in weeds and other environs unless in an extremely dark area viewed with any night vision ability.

CAS cannot run FMs on these flares weapons systems are unusable when the Infra-red camera that views them is enabled interferes with running FMs.
