Obstacle Marking and Vehicle Guidance Science and Technology Objective (OMVG-STO) Augmented Reality for Enhanced Command and Control and Mobility

Abstract

Advances in technology, improved communications and rapidly changing conditions create an operational environment in which decisions must be made quickly and momentum, once achieved, must be sustained. The increase in Joint and Combined operations has increased the need for real-time coordination among diverse units. This demanding environment requires new display paradigms that facilitate rapid decision making, movement and command and control. The OMVG-STO effort is creating a low-cost technology to enhance situational awareness by integrating the current tactical picture into real-world views in real time. The system provides additional, intuitive displays to support precision navigation around obstacles and through restricted terrain. The OMVG-STO system is equipped with a capability to realistically inject simulated enemy forces into realworld views to support mission rehearsal and gunnery training applications. Once fully developed, the technology will be transitioned to the Objective Force for integration into a variety of U.S. Army systems.
