ACR Electronics 3967 ResQFlare Pro (Electronic Visual Distress Signal Device - eVDSD)
The ResQFlare PRO electronic boat flare is a USCG-approved Electronic Visual Distress Signal Device (eVDSD) that meets RTCM 13200.0 standards and provides an advanced, safe, and long-lasting alternative to traditional pyrotechnic flares.

This combination ensures visibility over 8 miles in all directions, with a luminous angle of 180° or more and a minimum operational life of 3 hours—exceeding regulatory requirements by 50%. The ResQFlare PRO also includes a certified USCG Day Visual Distress Signal flag, mounting bracket, and 1-meter lanyard, making it a complete visual distress signaling solution.
