Helmet-rail mounted visible (white) and IR synchronized strobe marker

Small Footprint with Four Settings

High and low visibility in both White and IR.
Built with CORE Survival’s patented technology for maximum performance in a low-profile, snag-resistant package.


Tactile Operation

Switches are designed for positive operation by a gloved hand, while the helmet is donned. Patented double-switch blocks inadvertent switching between visible and IR functions.


Industry Team Collaboration

CORE Survival was selected to work with Gentex/Ops-Core, Surefire, and Princeton Tec as the launch provider for this game-changing piece of kit. The Special Operations community spoke; We listened.


HEL-STAR Rail Strobe® is a helmet-rail mounted visible (white) and IR synchronized strobe marker installed on both sides of the helmet—leaving the top of the helmet clear for reduced snag hazards and increased mobility.

CORE Survival® was selected to work with Gentex/Ops-Core as the launch provider of the rail-mounted strobe for their Next Generation Headborne System (NG-HBS), a fully integrated RaiLink™ system designed to provide power from a single battery source for all helmet-mounted kit including NODs, communications, and accessory lighting.
