RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. -- U.S. Army researchers are asking industry for new ideas on how to build head-mounted displays, direct-view displays, and true three-dimensional displays for Army systems.
Army officials say these ideas should lead to a collaborative research program with the Army Research Laboratory Sensors and Electron Devices Directorate in Adelphi, Md. -- otherwise known as the ARL SEDD.
This initiative, called the Army Research Program in Display Technology -- APPDT for short -- is under sponsorship of the Army Robert Morris Acquisition Center Research Triangle Park Division in Research Triangle Park, N.C.
The Army needs ideas for advanced displays in three main classes:
-- head mounted;
-- direct view (small to very large); and
-- true three-dimensional.
Army sensors researchers want industry proposals that concern not only new display concepts, but also technical barriers to improving luminescent materials, devices, and display components for Army systems.
Army researchers say they are considering making several different cooperative-agreement awards under this broad agency announcement. Companies should submit ideas in white papers, which are due not later than April 4, 2002. Researchers may award cooperative-agreement awards sometime this July.
Proposals should concern a two-year research effort that costs between $100,000 and $1 million each year.
