In Augmented Reality
November 5, 2024 – Dispelix, a provider of augmented reality (AR) waveguide display technology, and Collins Aerospace, an RTX business and supplier of aerospace and defense products, have recently announced a long-term supply agreement to incorporate Dispelix’s advanced AR waveguide displays into Collins Aerospace’s products. The companies stated that the collaboration represents “a significant milestone in the development of advanced display technologies.”
Collins Aerospace offers a variety of augmented and virtual reality (VR) solutions tailored for aerospace and defense applications. Examples range from the company’s F-35 Gen III helmet-mounted display system to its ERV-30 and ERV-40 helmet-mounted displays—lightweight, wearable waveguide displays that mount onto a helmet or goggles, allowing users to view digital information directly in their line of sight.
Under the agreement, Dispelix will leverage its experience in designing and developing waveguide displays to supply Collins Aerospace with advanced near-eye and head-up displays (HUDs). Dispelix stated that by working together, the two companies will aim to offer next-generation solutions that utilize waveguide technology to a broader range of aerospace and defense customers globally.
“We are excited to work with Collins Aerospace, a leader in the aerospace and defense industry,” said Antti Sunnari, CEO and Co-founder of Dispelix. “This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to excellence and innovation. In aerospace and defense applications, where the stakes are incredibly high, the need for the best possible technology, performance and durability is paramount. By integrating Dispelix’s advanced waveguide displays with Collins’ robust systems, we are poised to deliver unparalleled solutions.”
Also commenting on the agreement, Chris Bruns, Executive Director of Avionics Supply Chain at Collins Aerospace, said: “Waveguide display technology is a game-changer for see-through AR displays allowing solutions with significantly lower size, weight and cost relative to legacy systems.”
