Part 7/13:
Advanced Wearables and Defensive Shields
Eagle Eye isn’t just about sight. Palmeri describes ballistic-rated AR glasses that incorporate ballistic ear protection, enhancing hearing and shielding soldiers from shrapnel or fragments. These glasses are lightweight but resilient, providing armor against explosive debris, and can be customized with filters to protect against directed energy laser weapons.
Further, the company is developing mission shields—specialized protective gear that can block enemy laser attacks, including directed energy weapons deployed by China. These shields can be tuned to specific laser frequencies, effectively neutralizing threats that aim to blind or damage soldiers at long ranges.
