M40/M42 Series Laser/Ballistic Outsert (LBO)
The laser/ballistic outsert, manufactured for the U.S. military by MSA, is based on proven technology from the Ballistic/Laser Protective Spectacles, and provides protection from low speed mortar fragments and two laser wavelengths, 694 nm and 1064 nm.
The outsert is made of dyed polycarbonate as the dyes provide the laser protection and the polycarbonate provides the ballistic protection.
The dyes in the polycarbonate distinguish this outsert from the clear and neutral gray outserts as they cause the lens to have a green tint. As a result, the LBO has a light transmittance of 45-50% as compared to the clear, 85-90%, and neutral gray, 15-20%.
The PMCS (Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services) for the LBO is similar to that of the other outserts.
