A conceptual demonstration of the AR ”glasses” is on exhibit at
the DSEI defense and security trade show in London this week. The
company is showcasing the technology in an early development stage
to gain feedback from customers, which will ultimately influence
the design and capabilities of the final product.
“We’re developing the building blocks needed to create the
smallest, brightest, and toughest AR display glasses available,”
said Rob Merryweather, director of Strategic Growth at BAE Systems’
Electronic Systems sector in Rochester, U.K. “The next stage will
be transitioning that technology into the end products our
customers want and need — be it soldiers, commercial pilots, or
emergency responders. So far, the feedback has been very
positive.”
Military wearable displays available today are typically bulky,
heavy, or unadaptable, while commercially available ones are
usually large and fragile. BAE Systems’ solution uses its patented
waveguide technology, which provides unmatched optical performance
and efficiency in a miniaturized, sturdy package.
Experts in moving and controlling light, BAE Systems has 60
years of experience in the design, development, and production of
high-integrity displays. Whether head-worn or head-up, the
company’s intuitive displays provide users with essential
information when and where it’s needed most. BAE Systems
continuously invests in display technology and innovation to
provide its customers with unparalleled situational awareness —
giving them the critical edge they need, no matter the
environment.
