Visual Augmentation System Advanced Development
Abstract
This project evaluates and integrates technologies and representative prototype systems transitioning from the Science and Technology (S&T) stage. It focuses on developing the next generation augmented vision and situational awareness system that provides the Soldier with the ability to fight, rehearse, train and win during multi-domain operations. Funded efforts will accelerate the development 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 system. Efforts will provide rapid decision making and passive targeting capabilities with the integration of external video and data sources such as weapon sights, 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 platforms. Funding in 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 1.2 Rapid Prototyping Middle Tier of Acquisition effort is $314.0 million RDT&E from FY22 to FY25. The remainder of the IVAS 1.2 Rapid Prototyping MTA is fully funded across the Future Years Defense Program.
