A signalling system for downed aircrew recovery. The system uses an infra laser beam aimed at a search aircraft which has a detector and a position indicator to locate the transmitter so that the downed crew may be rescued.

Covert recovery or signalling system

A gas laser is constructed of discrete segments in such a manner that the s flowing through the active region of the laser is introduced from a plenum chamber from whence it flows annularly into the active region and travels through the region both to the left and right of the input until it reaches the first output region. From there the gas flows annularly out into a shaping region and thence into the output plenum.
