The CORE Survival HEL-STAR 6 Gen III+ Strobe is an advanced LED light designed for helmet mounting, suitable for airborne/MFF, tactical, and various military operations. This model integrates the essential features of its predecessors, the HEL-STAR 4 and HEL-STAR 5, into a compact design that offers improved omni-directional visibility and facilitates straightforward battery replacement.
Additionally, the upgraded sliding switches provide enhanced tactile feedback, ensuring intuitive control between two operating modes and four customizable functions. Users can select from a range of options, including White, four distinct colors, and IR, with the ability to choose between flashing or steady modes. The device also supports variable flash rates, intensities, and coded signals, enhancing its IFF capabilities.
Furthermore, independent testing has verified that the CORE Survival HEL-STAR 6 Gen III+ surpasses the FAA’s visibility requirement of 3 statute miles and is resistant to shock, vibration, dust, and is waterproof up to 130 fsw (with laboratory testing exceeding 300 feet). Built on a platform that accommodates new technological advancements, the CORE Survival HEL-STAR 6 Gen III+ is designed to adapt to evolving mission requirements and user needs.
FEATURES:
- Easy Battery Replacement: The single CR123 cell can be swiftly replaced in the field without the need for specialized tools.
- Operating Extremes: The CORE Survival HEL-STAR 6 Gen III+ is resistant to shock and vibration, dustproof, and waterproof in open sea conditions up to 130 feet (with laboratory testing exceeding 300 feet).
- Safety: The innovative battery access design features a rounded profile on all sides, effectively reducing the risk of snagging. The Velcro attachment allows for an emergency peel-away from the helmet, thereby minimizing the likelihood of injuries related to snagging.
- Simple & Secure Operation: The switches are engineered for reliable use by a gloved hand, even in low visibility conditions while wearing the helmet. The design of the mode selection switch allows for operational flexibility or enhanced security between overt and covert modes.
- Status Confirmation: The switch design ensures both visual and tactile feedback for ON/OFF and operational status, eliminating uncertainty; the visual indicator helps prevent accidental battery drain in infrared mode.
- Versatility: Users can define up to four functions, which are available in various visible colors and infrared signals, including flashing, coded, or steady modes.
- Visibility: The device offers omni-directional visibility, with intensity levels that can be adjusted to meet specific needs. The white flash surpasses FAA requirements for visibility at three statute miles.
