SUBJECT:
Agent IR Transmitter
28 April 1960
1. At an Army Intelligence Unit meeting in Germany, the engineer
who designed the AN/PAC-2 said it was feasible to miniaturize the
circuitry of the AN/PAC-2.
2. It occurred to me that it might be practicable to put the
transmitter circuitry in a flashlight housing and equip the flashlight
with a bulb, reflector, and IR filter such as are used in the AN/PAC-2.
The battery would be carried separately, with a cable and plug for
connecting to the transmitter. A small telescope, like a rifle 'scope,
having a mounting clamp which indexed with the transmitting flashlight
would provide the alignment device.
3. Such a set would give an agent an easily concealed one-way
transmitter which could be infiltrated in three parts. D cells are
recommended for power, being available in many parts of the world
behind the "Curtain".
