About this award
Bluehalo, LLC was awarded a delivery order valued at $10.3 million by the Air Force Research Laboratory for laser eye protection development under the Flash and Laser Airborne Protection System (FLAPS) program. The contract, issued on August 13, 2018, with completion targeted for November 10, 2021, is structured as a cost-plus-fixed-fee arrangement without small business set-aside designation. Work is performed at Bluehalo's Beavercreek, Ohio facility, where the company leverages its extensive expertise in advanced materials science and directed energy systems to develop vision protection technologies for Air Force aircrews against flash blindness and laser threats in the visible and near-infrared spectral regions.
The effort involves a multi-tier subcontracting network of specialized technology providers supporting the core development objectives. Key subcontractors include Alphamicron, Incorporated, which advances liquid crystal cell technologies and flash protection eyewear prototypes; Advanced Glass Industries, Inc., supplying precision optical glass components; AJA International, Inc., providing thin film deposition chamber equipment; Caci Photonics, LLC, developing Debye limiter optical elements for laser protection; and Galvion Technologies LLC, contributing materials research for personnel head protection systems. This collaborative structure reflects the FLAPS program's complexity and Bluehalo's established position as a primary research and development partner for the Air Force Research Laboratory's personnel protection initiatives.
