Visual Augmentation System Eng Dev

Abstract

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. Congressional Interest Item funding provided for continued 1.2 development. The total cost of the Integrated Visual Augmentation System Rapid Prototyping Middle Tier of Acquisition effort is $871 million RDT&E from FY18 to FY21. The total cost of the IVAS 1.2 Middle Tier of Acquisition effort is $221 million RDT&E from FY23 to FY24.
