Visual Compatibility The ALEP Block 3 will not impair visual performance to the extent that it interferes with safety of flight or mission completion. The device will be visually compatible with the following devices/activities:

• All USAF aircraft

• Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS); Night Vision Goggles (NVG); Panoramic Night Vision Goggles (PNVG), Helmet Mounted Integrated Targeting (HMIT/HoBiT), and fielded/post- Milestone B visors and aircrew chemical warfare masks

• Canopies/windscreens, HUD, and color cockpit displays

• Detection, recognition, identification, and tracking of targets

• Ability to distinguish terrain colors and geographical features

• Cockpit interior lighting, external aircraft lights, and airfield lights

• Ability to read charts, maps, and other printed materials in the cockpit

• Ability to perform normal aircraft duties in cockpit

Assessment Proposal Reference (e.g. Page #, Para #)

Configuration The ALEP Block 3 will provide day, night, aircrew CBRN, and JHMCS variants. To the maximum extent practicable, variants will also be provided in a visor format. A solution will be provided that can be internally or externally mounted onto fielded aircrew CBRN masks. JHMCS compatibility will not be required for the night-only and day-only variants. Compatibility with NVGs will not be required for the day-only and JHMCS variants.

T=O

Physical Coverage The Block 3 will provide physical coverage in front of and around the eye in all directions. The coverage gap between the temporal canthus and the lens edge will be no greater than 9mm in front of the canthus and may extend behind it when observed from 900 off the forward look direction for 95% of aircrew at a 90% level of confidence. The temporal canthus is defined as the outer corner of the eye where the upper and lower eyelids meet.

The edge of the lens will extend to or behind the temporal canthus for 100% of aircrew.

Materiel Reliability The ALEP Block 3 will have impact, penetration, abrasion, corrosion resistance, environmental durability, and optical quality characteristics equal to or better than the ALEP Block 2.

T=O

Field of View (FOV) The ALEP Block 3 will provide a visual FOV equal to or better than ALEP Block 2.

T=O

Physical Compatibility The ALEP Block 3 will be physically compatible with fielded and post- Milestone B Aircrew Flight Equipment to include NVG, PNVG, JHMCS, HMIT/HObIT, flight helmets and associated visors (for spectacles only), aircrew oxygen masks, and chemical warfare masks.

T=O

Emergency Egress The ALEP Block 3 will not increase safety hazards to the aircrew during emergency egress/bailout/ejection as compared to aircrew spectacles.

T=O

Visual Quality The ALEP Block 3 will not cause aircrew eyestrain, visual fatigue, or optical distractions that preclude completion of the mission for 95% of aircrew.

T=O

Prescription Eyewear Compatibility

The ALEP Block 3 will be visually and physically compatible with aircrew prescription eyeglasses and contact lenses or offer prescription capability.

Ballistic Protection ALEP Block 3 will provide a variant that protects the eyes from ballistic spall. Visor: The ALEP Block 3 (when worn with protective visor/spectacle) will provide ballistic protection that will pass a V0 test using a 0.22 caliber, 17.0 + 0.5 grain, T37 shaped projectile at a velocity of 550 to 560 feet per second. Spectacle:

The ALEP Block 3 will provide ballistic protection that will pass a V0 test using a 0.15 caliber, 5.8 grain, T37 shaped projectile at a velocity of 640 to 660 feet per second.
