The Tactical Airfield Lighting Kit (TALKIT) is a lightweight, man-portable tactical landing light system
designed
primarily for use by advancing military forces during their initial efforts to establish a minimal
temporary landing
zone or airstrip.
The Tactical Airfield Lighting Kit (TALKIT) is a versatile man-portable landing light system that allows
fixed and rotary wing aircraft to identify landing areas or drop zones at night at distances of up to
5kms.
Able to support non-overt, covert operations, the system contains up to 8 landing lights, each weighing
less than 1kg, which can be controlled manually or by radio.
Each light is capable of output in a range of intensities and as a steady, flashing, or rotating signal.
Visible colours include white, red, and green.
Power is supplied by a rechargeable, high-density lithium-ion battery packs that allow the system to be
used over a broad range of temperatures, typically between -40°C and +50°C.
The tactical landing light system is recharged via the drop-in charger cradle located in the lid of the
carrying case, which accepts either AC or DC input.
TALKIT is suitable for a range of applications including portable landing zones or airstrips, refuelling
or rearming areas, search and rescue missions, as drop zone markers, as route marker or field marker
lights.
