USN Morse Code Flashing Light

MCFL - When communication is mission critical, shine a light!

The USN Morse Code Flashing Light (MCFL) mobile application is designed to effectively facilitate and accelerate sailors' learning of MCFL signals at the speed used in U.S. Navy Visual Communications. Communication is at the core of both safe navigation of the seas and our ability to win in battle. With the U.S. Navy under increasing threat from adversaries with advanced Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2/AD) cyber capabilities, visual communications provide a secure method of communication that is difficult to tamper with or jam.

This app is designed to support Quartermaster A-School students in the Visual Signaling Curriculum and QM Training for Watch Standing PQS, as well as fleet sailors preparing for SURFOR MOB-N assessments. The app also provides training and practice for Navy Fleet Quartermasters, or any sailor, afloat or ashore, who wants to hone and maintain this crucial skillset.
