A non-lethal marker projectile that provides site identification capability of
a target upon impact includes a rear base made of plastic and a front end extending
longitudinally from the rear base. The front end defines a space therein and includes
an outer surface having a rear portion attached to the base and a nose portion.
The front end also includes a breakable container system located in the space which
contains separated chemiluminescent reagents which when mixed produce light. The
front end further includes a foam filler which surrounds the breakable container
system and which fills the space. The container system breaks on a setback impact
that is exerted during firing and initial launch, causing the chemiluminescent
reagents to mix and be absorbed into the foam filler, such that upon impact of
the projectile with the target, the foam filler marks the target with the mixed
chemiluminescent reagents diffused therein.
