The Battle Systems MPIL MK1 (Marker Panel, Individual, Lightweight) is now available in PenCott-BadLands™ and GreenZone™.
The MPIL MK1 is designed and manufactured in the USA by Battle Systems LLC, and is intended to be a replacement for the legacy VS-17 panels commonly used in the military for signaling and recognition. The MPIL MK1 however, is extremely packable and lightweight – which makes it far more practical and convenient to use as an individual signal panel.
Special Features:
- Gutted 550 cord loops on each corner to secure the marker panel to a surface
- 2″x2″ IR square will be available as a drop-down menu option when ordering (US orders only; ITAR restricted item)
- Packable and lightweight, the Marker Panel, Individual, LW easily stores in your shoulder or calf pocket – also a perfect fit in an admin/utility pouch
