  • Infrared laser landing marker
    Patent number: 8692691
    Abstract: An infrared laser landing marker system provides a capability to mark a boundary line of varying lengths with near infrared lasers, e.g., of the order 8xx nm. This system can be either directly operated or remotely operated via satellite communications and is compatible with currently fielded night vision goggles. Two modules, placed at either end of boundary, self align to each other and then proceed to mark a boundary edge of a landing zone with an infrared laser line.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 10, 2012
    Date of Patent: April 8, 2014
    Assignee: The United States of America as Represented by the Secretary of the Army
    Inventors: Yau L. Fung, Andrew J. Hill, Paul W. Bachelder, Robert B. Mayer, Blaine C. Froeschl, Alden K. Lum, Miguel P. Snyder, Kim W. D. Larsen

  • Direct-view, compact short wave infra red (SWIR) viewer
    Patent number: 7706062
    Abstract: A night vision device includes an objective lens assembly, an image detector assembly, an eyepiece lens assembly and a housing. The objective lens assembly receives low intensity light. The image detector assembly converts the low intensity light into a visible output image. The eyepiece lens assembly provides for viewing the output image from the image detector assembly. The housing receives the objective lens assembly, the image detector assembly, and the eyepiece lens assembly. Additionally, the housing aligns the objective lens assembly with the image detector assembly and the eyepiece lens assembly along an optical axis.
