Cyberlux Corporation, (OTC Bulletin Board: CYBL), a leading provider of LED lighting solutions, announced today that the Company has been selected to provide a new high performance solid-state LED lighting system for the United States Air Force Air Mobility Battlelab. The new Cyberlux lighting system is a state-of- the-art LED lighting system resulting from the adaptation of two existing commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) systems, the WatchDog Portable Covert Illumination System and the BrightEye Portable Visible Illumination System. Both COTS systems are currently available through GSA Schedule 56 and GSA Advantage.
The Air Mobility Battlelab (AMB) explores high-payoff concepts, technologies, and tactics to advance the USAF distinctive capabilities of Rapid Global Mobility and Agile Combat Support. The AMB previously selected Cyberlux Corporation to adapt its commercially available portable lighting system to meet AMB requirements and deliver the WatchDog Portable Covert Illumination System as the perimeter covert lighting solution for the protection of landed aircraft assets and attendant personnel. The performance characteristics of the WatchDog system support other potential applications of the technology to reduce mobility response time; reduce deployable support structure; and enable USAF members to do their jobs better, faster and with less expense.
"As a leader in solid-state lighting, Cyberlux is prepared for this contract award and excited by the acknowledgement of the Company's innovative lighting technology. With this contract mandate, we will continue to advance the WatchDog and BrightEye lighting system technology to meet all Air Mobility Battlelab requirements," said Mark D. Schmidt, president and chief operating officer of Cyberlux. "This second USAF contract is a significant milestone for the Company's military business unit."
The new system is designed as a portable visible and infrared illumination system for force protection, aircraft maintenance, expeditionary airbase force protection, general mission lighting and other high intensity lighting applications. Using advanced battery power and contained in a wheeled carrying case, the objective of the new system is to replace the space- consuming bulk, noise and energy consumption problems of the current generator powered incandescent lighting systems, for appropriate missions, with an easily deployed wheeled case advanced solid-state lighting system.
