Pyrotechnic signaling devices are crucial for maritime safety, designed to attract attention and signal distress. These devices use controlled explosions to create bright flashes of light, smoke signals, or loud noises that can be seen or heard from a distance. They are typically waterproof and highly durable, making them reliable in harsh marine environments. Pyrotechnic signaling devices include flares, smoke signals, and distress rockets, each with specific characteristics and uses.
