Soldier Enhanced Sensing Capabilities
Abstract
Soldier Enhanced Sensing Capabilities provides the next generation vision capabilities for day and night that will reduce the Soldier's burden and allow hands free operation. Soldier Enhanced Sensing Capabilities will provide automatic adjustment of imagery and matched sensor fields of view. This effort will further enhance day/night Rapid Target Acquisition (RTA) capabilities by ensuring goggle connectivity to weapon sights, and improved situational capabilities by enabling day/night data display on the Soldier Warrior End User Device/Computer (EUD) and Soldier Borne Sensor systems. The goggle interface will be compatible with Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS) displays. This effort considers methods for obtaining range estimates without the use of active laser devices and extends the ability to send/receive data to the EUD to support advanced EUD applications by processing of sensor video, integrating it with external data sources, and producing advanced processed imagery with overlay data display. This effort will review and consider improved antenna designs and placement to maximize efficiencies of wireless communications. This effort will further work to reduce size, weight and power of sensor and laser components including consideration of MEMS technology and considers IVAS successes to explore integrated digital, low profile, conformal day/night displays. This effort considers alternatives to potentially replace or augmenting the aging fleet of fielded night vision devices with a digital Near-Infrared (NIR) device, a peripheral overlay device, a bi-focal lens vision device, an adjustable objective lens, a wide field of view device and/or a white phosphor night vision device.
