This report describes a system for safely simulating artillery delivered flare illumination over troops engaged in nighttime tactical training exercises. It utilizes a lifting device for carrying a tethered electrically initiated, gravity released flare dispenser system to provide illumination over a target area while substantially reducing the hazard to personnel of flare debris fallout and malfunction danger to the lifting device. A tubularly shaped flare dispenser housing member supports a plurality of reloadable cylindrically shaped parachute flare assemblies. An electrically operated parachute flare initiator is utilized to simultaneously ignite and drop-release one or more combustible case flares by severing a burn-through cord retaining member. (Author)
