Description

Triton Systems, teamed with a major US manufacturer of optical glass and night vision components, proposes an innovative manufacturing process for anti-reflectance on the front lens surface of soldier optics of all kinds. The new process will reduce glints at large angles of incidence by up to 90% compared to current methods. The new anti-reflectance technology will allow computationally designed nanostructures to be applied to lens surfaces of any radius of curvature or aperture. Phase I will show the feasibility of various elements of the technology including optical performance and abrasion resistance. Phase II will demonstrate a prototype of the full process.
