N orthrop Grumman’s LUU parachute flares support warfighters, pilots, and search and rescue personnel engaging in low-light operations. When used in conjunction with night vision equipment, infrared illumination allows personnel to see nighttime terrain, the ocean, and the battefield as never before. LUU flares are used by U.S. and international military forces. For the last 40 years Northrop Grumman has continually developed and integrated improvements and modifications to enhance performance and reliability. LUU-2D/B Illuminating Flare The LUU-2D/B parachute flare supports visible nighttime target illumination and rescue operations. The LUU-2 D/B is used by the governments of 25 countries to provide aircraft-deployed illumination. The LUU-2D/B produces about 1.8 million candlepower of visual illumination for four to five minutes. LUU-19B/B Infrared Flare Like the LUU-2D/B, the LUU-19B/B is used worldwide and provides covert illumination in the near-infrared (IR) spectrum with virtually no visual signature.
