The reflected cold image provides a simple marking method that identifies friendly persons, vehicles and equipment to air and ground forces.The CIDT Panel has two sides. The Thermal side of the panel, which is brown in color, and the CORDURA® protective side. The Thermal side works by reflecting the sky's energy. The Thermal sensor sees the reflected energy and displays a cold image to the sensor operator. The CORDURA® protective side can be colored International Orange, so the panel can also be used as a visual signaling panel like the VS-17 Signaling Panel, or flat brown to maximize concealment. The Combat ID Thermal Panel can be deployed during the day or at night as a signaling tool.The Thermal material utilized in the construction of the CIDT Panel, and the Thermal Identification Panel (TIP) distributed by DRS Technologies, Inc. are the only Thermal marking panels manufactured from the same material used on the CIP Vehicle mounted panels.
