Night Vision Systems Advanced Development
Abstract
This program element focuses on efforts to evaluate and integrate technologies and representative prototype systems that facilitate the development of Soldier-borne sensor devices transitioning from the laboratory to operational use. Efforts focus on proving out commonality across as broad a spectrum of users as possible to provide enhanced Soldier products, giving them superiority on the battlefield. Project 131 (Night Vision Systems Advanced Development) This project supports the Army's transformation by developing payloads for brigade combat team, division, and corps Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and unmanned systems in accordance with Headquarters Department of the Army (HQDA) and Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) priorities. The funds associated with Project 131 are for the technology maturity of the Common Sensor Payload Target Location Accuracy (CSP TLA) Laser. Once this laser technology has been matured to the appropriate Technology Readiness Level (TRL), it will be cut into the CSP TLA development effort and eventual production to replace the baseline payloads on the Gray Eagle platform. Project VT7 (Soldier Maneuver Sensors-Advanced Development) Efforts focus on proving out commonality across as broader spectrum of users as possible to provide enhanced Soldier products, giving them superiority on the battlefield. Near term efforts include the integration of goggles with the weapon sights for Rapid Target Acquisition (RTA) in a realistic operating environment, thereby increasing Soldier lethality. This project also develops a Family of Weapon Sights (FWS) with fused electro-optical performance, including focal plane arrays and high resolution micro-displays. FWS enabling technologies increase product resolution, range, and imaging performance. New technologies will improve Soldier lethality, survivability, reduce weight, and improve affordability, mobility and comfort to combat and training environments. In addtion this project will explore insertion of technology that improves the Soldier's ability to detect Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) Detection.
