A signal cartridge for displaying the location of a practice bomb during day or night operation. Upon detonation of the signal cartridge, a power charge expels both a chemical payload and a flashcube from the cartridge case. The flashcube is activated outside the cartridge case. The chemical payload, which is air/water reactive, forms a cloud which is visible during daylight. At night, the light produced by the flashcube is scattered and reflected by particles in the cloud to provide a display. |
