Date: 1 March 2016

TO Title: Flashblindness Protection Device Design and Integration

Period of Performance: 39 months after mail date (36 months for technical effort plus 3 additional months for completing the final report).

SOO Paragraphs: 4.2.1, 4.2.2, 4.2.4, 4.2.5

1.0 Background: Flashblindness can inhibit the performance of an airman. The purpose of this program is to assimilate and integrate a range of evolving technologies into prototype them in devices. The devices will be assessed for readiness and inform concurrent technology maturation of component technologies.

2.0 Scope: This task focuses on researching and integrating technology to yield an eye protection device for use by Air Force pilots.

3.0 Objective: This effort seeks to research, mature, test, evaluate, and demonstrate eye protection devices. The effort will generally focus on technology maturation of a “next generation” device based on liquid crystals that will serve as the basis of in-band optical shutters on flexible substrates ultimately configured into a spectacle form factor. Unique to this effort, the contractor shall design, fabricate, test, and integrate advanced circuit designs and algorithms to detect a nuclear flash and respond by triggering a liquid crystal based optical protection devices. The system level switching speed from the beginning of the flash until the shutter is fully activated shall not exceed 200 microseconds. The electronics design and integration should be shielded for EMI and assessed for EMP hardness per MIL-STD-461F as well as MIL-STD-810G. The electronics shall be packaged into the eyewear device and preferably battery operated with conventional USAF AFE power sources (preferably AAA or AA batteries, although other smaller variants may be acceptable). Methods to provide skin protection shall be identified, tested for thermal hardness, and assessed for crew acceptability.

Methods for gasketing the optical protection devices to ensure a light-tight seal of the device to the face shall be identified, tested, and assessed for crew acceptability. Accordingly, this effort may require the design of a specific frame to accommodate the subsystems specified above.

To enable and facilitate assessments of these devices, interim and final deliverables will include devices based on the full-system design including in-band optical protection as well as out of band rejection coatings as well as the require power/sensing/control electronics. The effort aims for a final TRL 5 deliverable of an optical protection device in spectacle format that is EMI shielded, assessed for EMP hardness, gasketed to comfortably provide a light-tight seal to the human face, and offers a viable method for skin protection of the exposed facial regions of the aircrew.

In addition to the work specified here, the contractor should support AFRL engagements with AFGSC and AFLCMC relating to the development, testing, assessment, and sustainment of in service flash blindness protection devices.

4.0 Description of Work: To accomplish the stated objectives, the contractor shall perform the tasks defined below. Since some of the tasks are isolated, it is anticipated that some efforts can be ran in parallel or staggered with other tasks during the period of performance.

Power, Sensing, and Control Electronics for Flashblindness Devices The contractor shall research, design, and execute the build and integration of electronic circuitry that is EMI shielded in a form factor that can be battery operated and ideally fit within the housing of the spectacle. The contractor shall design an initial sensing, power, and control subsystem that triggers the optical protection device. The subsystem should discriminate between a nuclear flash event events and conditions.

Thermal Protection The contractor shall research and assess methods to provide thermal protection to exposed regions of the face and neck of a crew member. The materials and fabrics shall be subjected to thermal tests in realistic and relevant environments using a simulator at dosages specified (3.5-5 cal/cm2). The contractor shall submit potential thermal protection solutions for input from aircrew on potential acceptance.

Sealing The contractor shall research and design a spectacle housing that provides a light tight seal to the face, similar to methods used in welder’s glasses. The material solutions shall be identified and subjected to optical and thermal tests to ascertain acceptability. Demonstration articles should be provided to facilitate aircrew acceptance testing.

Interim and Final Deliverable Items

Interim deliverable items will be received every half-year (working prototypes) to allow for constant assessment of performance, ruggedness, and reliability of the system and subsystem. At the completion of this effort, the contractor shall integrate the optical protection (visible and out of band) in a light-tight spectacle form factor integrating the power, sensing, and control electronics with identified solutions for thermal protection. This integrated system should operate through thermal loads up to 3 cal/cm2 with system level switching speed of 200 microseconds (threshold) and optical density exceeding 3 at angle of incidences spanning from normal to +- 45 degrees field of view. Out of band protection requirements are not yet defined but expected to be on the order of O.D. 2-3.

Laboratory Test and Evaluation Studies

In order to assess the interim and final deliverables, as well as support ongoing AFRL engagements with AFGSC and AFLCMC related to legacy flashblindness protection devices, the contractor shall support and provide manpower to conduct the optical and thermal measurements necessary to confirm the device meets or exceeds the performance thresholds specified above.
