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 VT7 (Soldier Maneuver Sensors-Advanced Development): This project supports efforts to evaluate and integrate technologies and representative prototype systems for the development of Soldier-borne sensor devices, transitioning from the Science and Technology (S&T) arena to operational use. Efforts focus on providing enhanced products to give Soldiers superiority on the battlefield by providing the capability to detect enemy snipers using precise target information to mitigate operational risk before sniper fire occurs. This project integrates higher resolution thermal focal plane arrays, integrated ballistic solutions to auto-adjust reticles for range, wireless technology with weapon sights, improved range, performance, and capability, while decreasing system size and weight. These integration efforts enhance Soldier situational awareness, lethality, survivability, mobility, and comfort in combat and training environments.
