Precision Optics receives product development order for AR sub-systems

Precision Optics (POCI) announced the receipt of a product development order to build sub-assemblies that will support an advanced augmented reality system for US Air Force fighter pilot training, powered by POC’s next-generation optical sub-assembly design and manufacturing technologies. The program aims to allow pilots to wear AR headsets while in the air in their fighter jets, simulating combat training, without the need for secondary aircraft to be present. This reduces cost and the potential for training related accidents. The customer has been contracted by the US Air Force to deploy their solution on multiple aircraft platforms. The initial $723,000 development order is focused on leveraging POC’s optical expertise to design, prototype and qualify compact optical systems with ultra-high precision optical performance.
