Modern military operations are rapidly evolving, driven by recent advancements in technology such as AI and unmanned systems. In this fast paced environment, the military is departing from traditional taxpayer funded development and procurement cycles to keep up with changing demands from the battlefield.
One major challenge is ensuring Night Vision Imaging System (NVIS) compatibility for commercial off the shelf (COTS) electronics like tablets, monitors, and smartphones. These products weren’t designed to meet NVIS standards and can compromise safety during low light or night operations.
As the leader in NVIS optical and display technology, Cevians innovative iSafeNight™ NVIS filters provide a simple means of enabling NVIS compliance for commercial displays and devices.
NVIS Technology Behind iSafeNight
Originally based on Cevians’ advanced material formulations, including proprietary polymer technology, iSafeNight™ provides a reliable and effective way to make COTS displays’ NVIS compliant. Cevian’s iSafeNight™ meets MIL-STD-3009 NVIS compliance standards.
iSafeNight™ filters are a thin flexible filtering layer that optimizes visible light transmission, enhances contrast, absorbs detrimental near infrared and infrared energy, all while maintaining full touch screen functionality.
The filters are engineered with durable anti-glare hard coated surfaces that are washable and reusable. In addition, a self-wetting feature can be added to the filters for easy application.
These filters can easily be added on an existing display or a touch screen surface without disassembling the entire device. This means, the display or device can be retrofitted to make them NVIS compliant in the field without the need to be disassembled, shipped, and returned. This provides added convenience and cost effectiveness and saves critical time for your mission.
Due to the extreme climates and conditions your missions may face, you can rely on iSafeNight™ to be touchscreen-compatible, highly resistant to abrasion and impact, and ruggedized for use across a wide temperature range from -40°C to 85°C.
Cevians iSafeNight™ Critical Applications for Defense
As military operations increasingly rely on digital tools, NVIS compatible displays have become essential for mission success. Cevians’ iSafeNight™ technology enables soldiers to navigate using tablets without detection during night operations, preserving stealth and tactical advantage.
In aviation settings, personnel can operate digital devices in cockpits while maintaining full NVIS compliance, ensuring safety and compatibility with night vision equipment.
During field missions, iSafeNight™ allows for effective execution of surveillance, sniper overwatch, search and rescue operations, and reconnaissance, all in low-light or no-light environments.
Conclusion
Cevians’ iSafeNight™ filters are sold in sheets or precision machined to size and offer a fast, cost-effective, and durable solution for achieving NVIS compliance without requiring device disassembly or modification. The filters are also designed and sold with installment kits for specific COTS tablets, laptops and smartphones. This streamlined approach keeps your team operational, adaptable, and mission ready at all times.
By advancing NVIS technology compatibility, Cevians ensures that military personnel have access to cutting-edge night vision solutions, enabling them to complete their missions with precision, safety, and tactical superiority.
