Relevant Capabilities

NVIS filter design and integration

Selection and integration of NVIS filter materials and configurations to meet Class A and Class B compatibility requirements per MIL-STD-3009 and MIL-L-85762A. Filters are matched to display, backlight, and panel characteristics to control emitted radiance in the near-infrared region used by night vision goggles.

Radiance and chromaticity verification

In-house radiance testing and color verification confirm that filtered displays and lighting meet NVIS radiance limits and remain within required chromaticity coordinates. Supports compatibility validation for cockpit, console, and panel environments before integration into higher-level assemblies.

NVIS display integration

Integration of NVIS filtering into LCD display assemblies for night-vision-compatible cockpit and mission-system applications. Combines filtered displays with controlled luminance, EMI compatibility, and environmental protection for darkened-cockpit operation.

Explore Displays

Filtered optical bonding

NVIS Class A and Class B filters integrated into optically bonded stacks alongside cover glass and touch sensors. Bonding improves contrast and durability while maintaining filtering characteristics for sunlight-readable, night-vision-compatible assemblies.

NVIS backlit instrument panels

Integration of NVIS-compatible backlighting into instrument panels, legend lighting, and edge-lit assemblies. Supports controlled-luminance panel lighting for darkened cockpit and mission-vehicle environments requiring night-vision compatibility.

Explore Instrument Panels

NVIS lighting and LED backlighting

NVIS-compatible LED backlighting and panel lighting configured for Class A green, Class B, and white or dual-mode operation. Supports annunciators, switches, indicators, and backlit graphics requiring controlled radiance for night-vision operations.

Explore Instrument Lighting

Switch, annunciator, and indicator integration

Integration of NVIS-filtered switches, annunciators, indicators, and operator-interface hardware into panels and consoles. Night-vision-compatible legends and indicators support cockpit and mission-system human-machine interfaces.

Explore Electro-Mechanical

Ruggedized NVIS assemblies

NVIS displays, panels, and lighting configured for vibration resistance, EMI compatibility, and environmental sealing. Assemblies are built for airborne, naval, and ground-vehicle environments requiring long-term operational reliability in mission-critical platforms.

Explore Ruggedization

NVIS retrofit and modernization

Replacement and retrofit NVIS assemblies supporting modernization of legacy cockpit and panel lighting to night-vision-compatible configurations. Supports platform upgrades requiring MIL-STD-3009 compatibility for existing systems.
