In the modern automated battlespace, advantage serves the first to deceive. Advanced EO/IR sensor windows help deliver mission critical situational awareness and threat detection and lethal response. Accordingly, a rapidly adjustable component to prevent exposure of the sensor window to detection, attack or tracking, serves the Air Force and other military and commercial users to ensure the continued effective use of the system. Kent Displays, Inc. (KDI), a proven steward and commercialization expert of DoD and other research funding, seeks to create a flexible, switchable film that mitigates infrared (heat), optical (vision) and radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic frequencies to counter the conspicuity of sensor windows in action.
