PRINCETON, NJ – June 4, 2025 – ThirdEye, a fast-growing company specializing in augmented reality and artificial intelligence (AR/AI) solutions for defense, emergency response, and enterprise markets, announced today it has been awarded a contract by the U.S. Department of the Air Force to develop the Modular Integrated Display Augmentation System (MIDAS)—a next-generation AR heads-up display designed specifically for use in Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive operational environments. 

As part of a broader U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) initiative, MIDAS addresses a critical capability gap by allowing Special Warfare Operators and other frontline personnel to maintain full situational awareness (SA) while wearing Mission-Oriented Protective Posture gear. The hands-free solution overlays real-time data directly in the user’s field of view, eliminating reliance on handheld devices when gloves, masks, and suits limit accessibility.

“MIDAS redefines how warfighters and frontline responders operate in high-threat environments,” said Nick Cherukuri, CEO of ThirdEye. “This is more than an AR headset—it’s a mission-critical solution that delivers real-time intelligence while preserving the full protective integrity of the gear. It marks a major milestone in our mission to equip those who serve in the world’s most challenging conditions.”

MIDAS features a monocular, transparent AR display integrated into standard protective masks, helmet visors, dive masks, and ballistic eyewear. This allows for unobtrusive visual overlays without obstructing natural vision. A proprietary contactless power and data bridge transmits HD video and power through non-conductive surfaces, preserving the protective seal and integrity of the gear. The system supports direct display of ATAK/SWAK mission systems, empowering operators to make rapid, informed decisions in dynamic environments. Its modular architecture ensures adaptability across a wide range of DoD and commercial personal protective equipment (PPE) platforms.

While MIDAS is developed for defense, its commercial potential is equally compelling. First responders—firefighters, rescue teams, and hazmat units—can use it to access building layouts, hazard alerts, escape routes, and team coordination tools in real time. In industries such as energy, oil & gas, and manufacturing, MIDAS enables workers in PPE to view diagnostics, instructions, or receive remote support—boosting safety, precision, and operational efficiency.

With a rugged, scalable design and cost-effective integration into existing protective gear, MIDAS is poised to transform field operations across military and industrial domains. Backed by DoD funding and growing market demand, ThirdEye is launching pilot programs with key first responder and industrial partners to accelerate adoption and drive scalable growth.
