The U.S. Air Force has placed a field use system order with Cyberlux Corporation, maker of LED lighting solutions based in Research Triangle Park, N.C., for its WatchDog portable covert illumination system.
The Air Mobility Battlelab submitted the field order, valued at $15,112 on the GSA contract, for the WatchDog system, intended for field deployment and use within various USAF commands. In fact, the solid-state LED security-lighting system was developed by Cyberlux in cooperation with the Air Mobility Battlelab for the USAF.
WatchDog provides security lighting, using a choice of visible light or covert infrared light compatible with night-vision goggles (NVGs). The solution creates a 300-by-300-foot “lightless” zone around military assets, such as an airplane, on the ground and illuminates the surrounding boundary.
The portable lighting system weighs less than 50 pounds, including batteries, and can be deployed quickly.
