In the scene during Kyle's last deployment, a Cobra attack helicopter shoots a missile at insurgents about to overrun the building where the S.E.A.L.s are, and accidentally missed. According to Kyle's autobiography, the helicopter pilot never knew that there were S.E.A.L.s on that building roof, and it was lining up to fire on what the pilot thought was insurgents on the rooftop. Kyle sees the helicopter about to fire upon his own position and calls out for his unit to deploy their panels. The panels are reflective sections of fabric and alert other friendly forces to their position. The pilot sees this at the last second and pulls away instead of firing because of Kyle's actions. Kyle's unit would have been killed if it had not been for him seeing the helicopter about to attack.
