Broadband, Extended use, and Perception-matched Digital Night Vision

Press Release

Press Release

Physical Sciences Inc (PSI) has recently been awarded a contract to develop a next generation digital night vision system for the US Air Force.

Physical Sciences Inc (PSI) will develop Broadband, Extended use, and Perception-matched Digital Night Vision (BEP-DNV) for the US Air Force to enhance binocular situational awareness and operating efficacy of fixed wing pilots. The BEP-DNV system will balance human visual system (HVS) matched spatial resolution with low temporal latency of rendering and high frame rate. PSI will leverage its experience in delivering integrated optical systems and developing custom optical components for night vision architectures. Flat optics will aid in delivery of compact, high performance eyepiece and objective lenses, and enable other system components to better match HVS perception requirements. PSI will present optical, display, sensor, and electronics for the BEP-DNV and a system trade study for HVS-matched performance for fixed wing pilot applications.
