PureDepth Breakthrough Multi-Layer Display Technology Licensed to DRS Technologies for U.S. Navy and Army Display Workstations.REDWOOD SHORES, Calif. -- PureDepth, the developer of the world's only Multi-Layer Display(TM) (MLD MLD median lethal dose; minimum lethal dose. MLD or mld abbr. minimal lethal dose MLD, n See dose, lethal, minimum. MLD minimum lethal dose. ) technology, and DRS Technologies DRS Technologies, Inc. (commonly known as DRS; formerly known as Diagnostic/Retrieval Systems, Inc.) is a supplier of defense electronic products and systems to the United States Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, Navy, aerospace and defense prime , Inc. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :DRS DRS Drives (street suffix) DRS Dispute Resolution Service DRS Doctorandus DRS Department of Rehabilitative Services DRS Direct Registration System (securities) DRS Department of Rehabilitation Services ) announced today they have signed a five-year license agreement that allows DRS to exclusively manufacture, market and supply advanced display systems to its Army and Navy customers. DRS will have exclusive rights to the MLD(TM) technology within this industry sector, and both companies plan on joint development efforts utilizing the core MLD(TM) technology for advanced situational awareness Situation awareness or situational awareness [1] (SA) is the mental representation and understanding of objects, events, people, system states, interactions, environmental conditions, and other situation-specific factors affecting human performance in and other military purposes. PureDepth technology will allow DRS to offer Army and Navy customers a double screen, multi-dimensional (3D) viewing innovation that enables users to simultaneously view two separate fields of data. By overlaying two separate image planes within a single monitor, MLD(TM) provides true depth of vision that significantly enhances the visual experience with better results. PureDepth MLD(TM) displays overcome issues of convergence, motion parallax parallax (pâr`əlăks), any alteration in the relative apparent positions of objects produced by a shift in the position of the observer. In astronomy the term is used for several techniques for determining distance. and restrictions in the viewing angle common to other displays and 3D visualization. The MLD(TM) monitors allow for long duration viewing within the normal field of view without any head movement, so users constantly can monitor and detect for changes in time-sensitive information without the typical loss of orientation and excessive eye fatigue. "We are committed to supporting DRS and its goal to accelerate the adoption of innovative technology for the benefit of its customers," said Fred Angelopoulos, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of PureDepth. "This partnership with an industry and technology leader like DRS is a validation of the growing market demand for PureDepth-enabled multi-layer displays." "This agreement with PureDepth highlights our commitment to manufacturing display consoles that integrate the latest commercial computing technology and systems for combat, command and control, and mission-essential applications," states Christopher M. Toner, Vice President of DRS's Command/Control and Advanced Display Systems. "The ability to simultaneously visually synthesize critical, real-time information from separate feeds of data in a single display device, along with multi-dimensional alerting, is a significant technology advantage for command control organizations that track time-sensitive information 24/7 in space-restricted areas. In addition, the ability to feed both secure and non-secure data into the same display device will help to eliminate certain security risks."
