SOLDIER NIGHT VISION DEVICES
Abstract
This project develops, improves and miniaturizes high performance night vision electro-optics, thermal and laser systems. It also provides for systems integration of related multi-sensor suites to enable near to long-range target acquisition and engagement as well as improved battlefield command and control in around-the-clock combat operations. It focuses on adapting demonstrated technologies that can bring improvements to the dismounted Soldiers' equipment. This project develops or enhances equipment that provides the individual Soldier's day/night situational awareness and individual targeting capability, sniper fire detection and location capability, and integrates improved target location and self-location capability to eliminate friendly fire incidents. The Enhanced Night Vision Goggle(ENVG)is a head/helmet mounted night vision system for the individual Soldier. Other efforts include a Soldier-borne gunshot detection system to determine location of sniper gunfire, development of a Green Laser Interdiction System (GLIS) to deter potential combatants and the development of Sense Through The Wall (STTW) technology giving Soldiers the ability to detect threats through walls during Military Operations in Urban Terrain (MOUT). This project also develops a Family of Weapon Sights(FWS), with fused electro-optical performance, including focal plane and high resolution micro-display FWS enabling technologies increasing product resolution, range, and imaging performance.
