What is ERLS?

ERLS is the Elimination of Radioactive Light Sources. The ERLS Project will replace tritium light sources with ultra-low power light emitting diode (LED) technology. 

A non-nuclear alternative, ERLS offers many benefits. These include:

• Improved Safety
  • The threat of radiation to the soldier is eliminated
  • The threat of radiation to the civilian is eliminated
• Enhanced Maintenance & Support
  • Repair is accomplished through the replacement of modules
• Reduced Logistics
  • The elimination of short-life light sources lessens the logistics burden
• Decreased Government Expenditure
  • Projected cost savings for the U.S. Army have been estimated to be $71,000,000 over ten years
• NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission)
  • Elimination of NRC surveillance, inspections and reporting requirements
