We propose to develop a thin, energy-efficient lighting technology capable of NVIS-compatible, directional, variable output visible and infrared radiation. In addition to conventional aircraft lighting, the technology can be fabricated in large panels to support directed spatiotemporal display of information readily discernible by the warfighter.

Benefits:
The ability to display directed, spatiotemporal information through NVIS-compatible wavelengths has significant application not only to naval aircraft, but thoughout the U.S. military. Consumer applications of the visible components of the technology can include dynamic logos and other forms of conspicuous display.

We propose to study the practical packaging integration of the marker light technology which was researched in Phase I. We will also study applications and architectures of "smart" marker lights that utilize the unique features of our technology.
