DefenseReview.com (DR): An online tactical technology and military defense technology magazine with particular focus on the latest and greatest tactical firearms news (tactical gun news), tactical gear news and tactical shooting news.
It’s called "MEPS". MEPS stands for "Military Eye Protection System", and the program is designed to develop ballistic eyewear that will also protect infantry against eye-damaging battlefield lasers which are going to become increasingly prevalent on the future battlefield.
Several companies are developing laser protection eyewear for the military, but Gentex is the only company that DefRev could locate that actually has any real info on their site about it.
Other companies that have been working on the MEPS program are WileyX and Oakley, but neither…
of those companies seem to have released any information on their progress. That said, Oakley does have a picture of their M Frame Laser Lens on their website.
