Spectrally-Tunable Light Engine for Enhanced Performance (SLEEP)

The IPS Team has substantial expertise in all the required technical disciplines, plus the vital systems engineering and production experience to deliver a usable programmable spectrum lighting system and plan several demonstration models in Phase I. We have designated this program the Spectrally-Tunable Light Engine for Enhanced Performance (SLEEP), both for the memorable acronym and to remind us of the true intent of the device – to enable shift-type workers to improve their sleep and wakeful performance. Designing this device relies upon our Team’s real-world knowledge of and experience with sensors, optics, image processing, displays, human factors, and manufacturing. The IPS Team possesses these capabilities. Today, the IPS Team develops, builds, and maintains numerous imaging and illumination devices for military and commercial operators. To design these products, one must conduct comprehensive concept development, research, and trade studies to make certain the system meets customer requirements prior to fabrication. Our Team will repeat these proven processes for the SLEEP program.
