About this award

Bluehalo, LLC, a Beavercreek, Ohio-based science and technology company, was awarded a $15 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order by the Air Force Research Laboratory on December 22, 2021, for personnel protection against ocular threats under the Flash and Laser Airborne Protection System (FLAPS) program, with completion targeted for June 25, 2025. This contract is not set-aside for small businesses and represents one of several delivery orders Bluehalo has executed under AFRL's broader advanced protective technologies portfolio. The effort focuses on developing and advancing laser eye protection (LEP) and flash protection technologies for military personnel, encompassing materials science, optical engineering, manufacturing readiness, and prototype development of protective eyewear in spectacle, goggle, and visor formats.

The prime contractor assembled a substantial technical team including Revision Military Limited (advanced manufacturing of protective eyewear and production capabilities), Intellisense Systems Inc. (optical shutter design and integration), Scientific Applications & Research Associates (electronic control system and visor design), Alphamicron Incorporated (liquid crystal cell and dichroic dye development), Teledyne Scientific & Imaging LLC (optical interference filter deposition), Sensing Strategies Inc. and Attollo Engineering LLC (laser sensing and detection technologies), and Gentex Corporation (materials integration and prototype fabrication). The subcontractor network reflects the technical complexity of the effort, which spans advanced materials development, active optical shutter technologies, laser detection mechanisms, and integration of emerging capabilities into practical, deployable military eyewear systems that meet stringent optical performance, ballistic protection, and environmental durability requirements.
