The work, performed in Beavercreek, Ohio, focused on developing and advancing nuclear flash blindness protection technologies for U.S. Air Force aircrew members. The contract was awarded on August 13, 2018, without a set-aside designation, reflecting Bluehalo's competitive standing as an established research and development contractor specializing in advanced materials science, aerospace technologies, and personnel protection systems for the Department of Defense.

The FLAPS program involved a comprehensive subcontracting network including Intellisense Systems Inc., which continued development work on flash protection device controls and design improvements; Teledyne Scientific & Imaging LLC, which fabricated liquid crystal lens test articles; Scientific Applications & Research Associates (SARA), which assembled electronic control systems for liquid crystal cells; Alphamicron Incorporated, which developed liquid crystal technologies and manufacturing processes for the eye protection devices; Peraton Inc., which provided technical assessments and research guidance on nuclear effects and eye-centered modeling; and Solutions Through Innovative Technologies Inc. (Sentir Laboratories), which conducted human factors testing and fit assessments. This work contributed to AFRL's broader personnel protection objectives against ocular threats from flash events and directed energy sources, building upon established liquid crystal and electronic shutter technologies for military applications.
