The Department of Defense (DoD) is seeking proposals for a Power Efficient Digital Binocular Night Vision Imaging System (PEDBNVIS). The objective is to develop a digital binocular night vision system that has the imaging performance of analog goggles in the reflective infrared bands, while also being power and mass efficient for long-term helmet-worn use. The system should integrate visual situational awareness and be capable of night/day/adverse weather operations. The technology should leverage emerging technologies such as metaoptics, advanced vacuum electronics-based infrared II designs and materials, power efficient algorithms and processors, and CMOS digital visual-band sensors and microdisplays. The Air Force has a mission need for a digital binocular night vision goggle operating in a reflective band, including near infrared (NIR), shortwave infrared (SWIR), visible (VIS), or a combination. The system should have a 1:1 overlapped left/right channel architecture, with high resolution reflective band sensor-processor-display device chain providing a visible representation of the scene sensed in infrared. The system should have interfaces for conformal symbol overlay, external video source display, and native helmet-view transmission. The performance goals include spatial image resolution of 2000x2000 px, field-of-view of 40x40 deg, acuity of 1.3 arcmin, frame rate of 60 Hz, latency from objective-to-eye of 17 ms, head-born mass of 2 kg, power of 12W, volume of 2000 cc, and head-mounted battery time of 4 hr. The project will have a Phase I for design and justification, Phase II for fabrication and delivery of prototypes, and Phase III for production and field testing. The technology has potential applications in defense, non-defense federal and state agencies, civil and commercial aviation, outdoor recreation, and consumer electronics.
