The invention provides a covert recovery or signalling system. A downed pilot has an infrared laser transmitter configured for hand-held use attached to his flight suit. The beam from the transmitter is aimed at the search aircraft. A search aircraft having a silicon quadrant detector receiving unit and a position indicator on board searches the vicinity of the downed aircrew at an altitude of up to approximately 10,000 feet and determines the location of the downed crew to within a few hundred feet. A helicopter having a similar receiver on board flies directly to the downed crew, thus reducing search time and vulnerability to ground fire. (Author)
