Research abstract
ABSTRACT:The US Air Force trains JTAC and other combat personnel using video immersive simulations. However, it has proven difficult to include night vision training because of the inability of projectors to drastically change light levels. Triton systems working with key suppliers and subject matter experts is developing an innovative screen which can be electro-optically modulated in reflectance over an 11:1 range. In Phase I, key requirements were verified for optical characteristics, compatibility with night vision optics, speed and temperature range of operation. In Phase II a full scale prototype adaptive dome will be constructed, tested and delivered to AFRL for evaluation..BENEFIT:Immersive simulation training is increasingly deployed throughout DOD and as part of a rapidly growing worldwide commercial training industry. Screens with dynamic optical properties may replace conventional static fabrics and make such training more adaptable and effective, particularly for day/night training, not only for military but also industrial maintenance in factories and pipelines, police, fire and first responders.
