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. Further, this funding supports, near term, the development, test, and evaluation of the Family of Weapon Sights (FWS). In FY17 through FY19, this funding supports Pre-shot Threat Detection (PTD) through Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD). It focuses on adapting demonstrated technologies that 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.
