Today, Cyberlux Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: CYBL) announced that the Company has completed the contract requirements associated with the advanced solid-state LED security lighting system developed by Cyberlux for the United States Air Force. Based on the demonstration results of the Portable Covert Illumination System, the Air Mobility Battlelab completed the project briefing with A7 Air Mobility Command senior leadership and successfully transitioned the Watchdog System from field trials to procurement.
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. Successful Air Mobility Battlelab projects are transitioned to the broader USAF command for procurement and deployment. As part of the Air Mobility Battlelab transition plan, the Air Mobility Command will immediately purchase Watchdog Systems for initial field deployment.
The unique properties of the Watchdog System have prompted purchase intention from other branches of the US Military. Recently, Cyberlux was invited to participate in the first annual National Guard J3 Domestic Operations Conference where National Guard personnel from across the United States reviewed the latest First Responder and Security technologies, including the Cyberlux Watchdog and BrightEye Portable Covert and Visible Illumination Systems. From the response of the National Guard units present, Cyberlux anticipates strong demand for its portable, lightweight illumination systems, particularly from units supporting states where border security or emergency response capabilities are critical. Cyberlux estimates that the USAF demand will exceed $1M initially and the demand from other military branches to exceed $5M for adapted versions of the BrightEye and Watchdog Systems.
Cyberlux was originally 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.
