Cyberlux Corporation Selected by United States Air Force to Provide Advanced Security LED Lighting System
Cyberlux collaborates with Air Mobility Battlelab to produce unique, lightweight visible and infrared lighting system for security forces
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. October 25, 2005 - Today, Cyberlux Corporation announced that the Company has been selected to provide an advanced solid-state LED security lighting system for the United States Air Force Air Mobility Battlelab.
The Air Mobility Battlelab explores high-payoff concepts, technologies, and tactics to advance the USAF distinctive capabilities of Rapid Global Mobility and Agile Combat Support.
Cyberlux developed and successfully demonstrated the capabilities of the External Portable Boundary Lighting System at Fort Dix in New Jersey. The system, which illuminates an exterior boundary of 250 x 300 feet, will enable Air Force security forces to significantly increase security for Mobility Air Force assets, including aircraft while on the ground.
Cyberlux was selected in a competitive review process that included 25 proposals from other companies to develop a lightweight, portable lighting system for both visible lighting and infrared lighting compatible with night vision goggles. The portable lighting system weighs less than 50 pounds, including batteries, so that it can easily be carried to remote locations and deployed quickly. With highly efficient LED technology, the system can provide lighting for several days with a single battery charge.
"Cyberlux was founded to be a leader in solid-state lighting innovation. The USAF Air Mobility Battlelab requirements for a portable boundary lighting system is the type of project where we can utilize our advanced lighting technology to deliver a first-of-a-kind, breakthrough product solution," said Mark Schmidt, president and chief operating officer for Cyberlux. "In this project, Cyberlux provided USAF personnel with a significant technological advantage which demonstrates the new agility our military forces have in bringing new technology from the lab to the field. Our solid-state lighting technology is well-suited for military applications, and our work with the USAF is a significant milestone in the development of the Company's military business unit."
