Signal Panel Marker VS-17/GVX

The VS-17 Marker Panel is the Signal panel that is used by the U.S. Military and Militaries around the world. The VS17 Panel Marker is attached to tanks, trucks, rucksacks and just about anything that needs to be identified from the air, to include those in need of rescue. 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.

A conpicuity panel like this one is required equipment during small aircraft flights into Canada because it is a good form of daytime signaling when search aircraft are in use.

The VS-17 Signal Panel are tough fabric signal panels that won’t be torn up from wind like many of the other lighter duty panels. Our signal panels carry the military stock number: NSN 8345 00 174 6865.

Due to the limited availability of the Military VS-17 GVX Signal Panel, we have designed and now offer the Adventurer VS-17 CIV (civilian) Emergency Signal Panel. When they are available, we will continue to carry the Military Issue version as well.

The VS-17 CIV Emergency Signal Panel is constructed of high quality compoenents, some of which are higher quality than the original VS-17 GVX. Because of this, the VS-17 CIV (Adventurer Series) is already in use by units of the U.S. Military and other Government Agencies.
