When PerriQuest Defense Research Enterprises was approached to solve the serious threat of laser strikes to commercial aircraft, they were faced with two well-known technology barriers. First, existing commercial-grade laser blocking eyewear relies on absorptive dies that obscure color vision. This technology approach is therefore not appropriate given the heavy dependence of commercial pilots on their color vision for recognition and decision making based on illuminated instrumentation and external navigation lights. Second, known military solutions using precision active and passive filters were focused on ultrahigh-power battlefield lasers, emitting mainly in the infrared region of the spectrum. The result was an expensive solution that is uncomfortable to wear, and inappropriate for the handheld laser strike threat in many ways. A new solution was needed that focused specifically on the threat to pilots of commercial and law enforcement aircraft and that leveraged the considerable know-how from the many millions of dollars of investments made in laser protection technology for the military.
