Night Vision Systems - Eng Dev
Abstract
A portion of this funding line is directly aligned to the Army Soldier Lethality Modernization Priority in support of situational awareness for the Close Combat Soldier. This program element provides night vision/reconnaissance, surveillance and target acquisition technologies required for United States defense forces to engage enemy forces twenty-four hours a day under conditions of degraded visibility due to darkness, adverse weather, battlefield obscurants, foliage and man-made structures. These developments and improvements to high performance night vision electro-optics, radar, laser, and thermal systems and integration of related multi-sensor suites will enable near to long range target acquisition, identification and engagement to include significant fratricide reduction, which will improve battlefield command and control in "around-the-clock" combat operations. Project BQ6 This project focuses on transitioning demonstrated technologies that bring improvements to the dismounted Soldier's augmented vision and situational awareness system and provide Soldiers with the ability to fight, rehearse, train and win during multi-domain operations. Funded efforts will accelerate the implementation of components, terrain shared coordinate data and processing, algorithms including machine learning/artificial intelligence and demonstrations in support of the next generation augmented vision and situational awareness. Efforts will provide rapid decision making and targeting capabilities with the integration of external video and data sources such as weapon sights, unmanned air and ground vehicles and other data sources enabled by tactical cloud package and advanced network services. This project will provide data driven analytics to optimize unit performance and enhance lethality and to enable Synthetic Training Environment (STE) squad capability to perform live mixed reality training and rehearsing. This project includes costs for efforts associated with movement of information and high level processing, integration, and interface of products with the Soldiers' head, body, weapon, and transportation. Funding for this project aligns with the Army's priorities in support of the National Defense Strategy. This project supports the Soldier Lethality Cross Functional Team. The total cost of the Integrated Visual Augmentation System Rapid Prototyping Middle Tier of Acquisition effort is $863.9 million RDT&E from FY18 to FY23. The totality of the RDT&E is from the combined APEs of 603774A BQ5 and 604710A BQ6. Project L67 project develops, improves and miniaturizes high performance electro-optics, thermal and laser systems. It also provides for systems integration of related multi-sensor suites to enable near to long-range target acquisition and engagement as well as improved battlefield command and control in around-the-clock combat operations. It focuses on adapting demonstrated technologies that bring improvements to the dismounted Soldiers' equipment. This project develops or enhances equipment that provides the individual Soldier's day/night situational awareness and individual targeting capability. This project includes cost associated with efforts for the development, integration and interface of products on Soldiers head, body and weapons. Funding in this project supports the Army's Soldier Lethality Cross Functional Teams (SL CFT) initiatives. Funding in this project aligns with the Army's priorities in support of the National Defense Strategy. Project L70 focuses on night vision, reconnaissance, surveillance and target acquisition (RSTA) sensor and suites of sensors to provide well-defined surveillance and targeting capabilities for a variety of Current, Modular, and Future Force platforms. This project includes: 3rd Generation Forward Looking Infra-Red (3GEN FLIR) B-Kit development activities, the 3GEN Long Range Advanced Scout Surveillance System (LRAS3) Modification Work Order (MWO) to integrate 3GEN FLIR B-Kit, and the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology ASA(ALT) Common Operating Environment (COE) effort to meet sensor interoperability requirements and improve the soldier-machine interface of the Program of Record (POR). Project L79 is an Army program with joint information (Air Force and Marine Corps). JETS addresses the one-man, hand-held precision targeting gap identified by the Fires Center of Excellence (FCoE). JETS is a light-weight, handheld system that will provide the single dismounted observer with a common, enhanced day and night thermal capability to rapidly acquire, accurately locate, positively identify, and precisely designate targets. JETS Target Location and Designation System (TLDS) will be able to interface with existing and future Forward Entry Systems (FESs) and operate in environments where global positioning system (GPS) capabilities are degraded or denied including the integration of military GPS user equipment (M-Code) GPS receivers, when they become available. This project will address continued development and integration of improved precision targeting components to reduce size, weight, power, and cost of systems for dismounted precisions Fires mission. Funding in this project aligns with the Army's priorities in support of the National Defense Strategy.
