This VS-17
Marker Panel is
the Signal Panel that is used by the United States Military. This version of the VS17 Signal Panel was manufactured under the NSN 8345 00 174 6865 and DLA
100-91-F-EC21. This version of the VS17 Signal Panel version differs from the other VS 17 Signal
Panel Marker listed in this
category
as it comes with its own, attached, storage bag and has slightly different dimensions.
The VS17 Panel Marker is
attached to tanks, trucks, rucksacks and just about anything that needs
to be identified from the air. The VS17 Signal Panel, or Signal Panel Marker, is often laid out on the
ground to identify troop positions to friendly aircraft, or to identify where help is needed.
The
VS-17 Panel Marker comes equipped with tie downs for attachment to just about
anything and snaps so that multiple signal panels can be joined
together. The VS-17 Signal Panel Marker has both a high visibility pink side and a
high visibility orange side and is perfect for identifying persons in
distress to search teams and aircraft.
The VS-17/GVX are tough fabric
signal panels that won’t be torn up from wind like many of the other
lighter duty panels. This VS17 Signal Panel Marker measures 24"x 70" but is designed to be
connected to other panels for greater conspicuity. Also
known as a conspicuity panel, the VS17 Marker Panel is an
essential piece of heavy-duty survival
gear.
