Lethality Smart System (LSS)

Abstract

The LSS is the next generation weapon targeting sensor for use on the Next Generation Squad Weapons (NGSW) which provides additional situational awareness and lethality by wirelessly interfacing to other Soldier devices. The increased LSS Soldier capabilities include providing heads up Rapid Target Acquisition (RTA) though the wireless interface with the head mounted Soldier vision systems and interface to the Next Generation Rifle through the Intelligent/Powered Rail. LSS will also interface wirelessly with the Nett Warrior End User Device (NW EUD) to exchange Mission Command information and provide through sight augmented reality for enhanced situational awareness. Additionally, LSS will provide day and night capabilities to image in multiple spectral bands, interrogate potential targets, provide facial recognition capabilities at tactical ranges, perform target handoff, provide distance to target through laser rangefinder interface, and calculate and adjust for displaced reticule using advanced fire control algorithms.
