Oklahoma National Guard contracts Cyberlux

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., Aug. 25 (UPI) -- The Oklahoma National Guard has contracted Cyberlux Corp. for the company's BrightEye lighting technologies.

Under the deal, North Carolina-based Cyberlux will provide its BrightEye Tactical Illumination Systems, a portable lighting system capable of lighting a target area up to 1,000 feet, to the Oklahoma National Guard.

Officials from Cyberlux say the contract marks the 23rd state to contract the company for its BrightEye light technologies for deployment in the National Guard.

"We have experienced suppliers in place, our facility is equipped, and our employees are excited to deliver on such a large opportunity."
