Abstract:

A radio controlled IR light mounted on a dog harness was developed to enable a military dog handler to visualize, with the aid of an appropriate IR viewing device, the location of his dog at night. The system consists of a hand- held radio transmitter and the dog-mounted receiver unit with a pulsed IR light source.
