A signal generator is used to shoot flares in the air from a ships deck. It can launch flares highter than typical flares and can be seen from greater distances.
Flares? Like as in road flares? or Flare guns? Flares as in the signaling devices that burn super hot and emit a blinding light usually used to signal a distress signal of some sort? I would have to think that it really wouldn't be a good idea if flares were allowed in football games.
There are several different types of signal flares that can be used at sea.Smoke flares are hand-held flares. Once lighted, they give off white or orange smoke.Aerial flares are small flares that you launch into the sky.A flare gun holds red or white flares that you shoot up into the sky. These flares are quite visible at night.Parachute flares are flares that you fire into the sky, and they slowly descend. These flares have great visibility and a long burn time.very light

Flares give light or heat without an explosion and are often used to illuminate or signal. They may contain strontium nitrate or potassium nitrate as well as a fuel such as charcoal or magnesium.
Road flares are commonly used by civilians for signals and may be ignited on the ground or fired as an aerial signal from a pistol-like flare gun or launched from a self-contained tube.
