To address the CBDs need for adjustable optical correction technology for respiratory protective systems, Physical Optics Corporation (POC)proposes to continue the development of a new low-cost Adaptive Lens for Ocular Correction (ALOC). The ALOC is formed by thin-filmmicroarrays of wavefront correctors (MWCs), which are conformably laminated onto the facemask visor and controlled by a miniature d ...

A reliable, low-cost, low-power, adjustable, optical-correction technology for the Avon M50 respirator is proposed that is capable of deliveringthe eye relief needed by users needing visual correction with +/ 9 diopter correction in less than 100 ms, while maintaining a wide gaze angle.To achieve the application requirements, a series of freeform GRIN Alvarez lenses will be designed, fabricated, a ...

As a foundational component of a Layered Sensing architecture, Toyon proposes to develop a Multi-Modal Fusion Module (M2FM) capable ofconfirming detections from Chemical, Biological, and Radiological (CBR) sensing networks by fusing together information from other (non-CBR)sensors. In addition to confirming an initial CBR detection, M2FM will aid in characterizing the threat scenario by estimating ...
