SOLDIER MANEUVER SENSORS - ADV DEV
Abstract
This project supports efforts to evaluate and integrate technologies and representative prototype systems that facilitate the development of Soldier-borne sensor devices transitioning from the laboratory to operational use. Efforts focus on proving out commonality across as broader spectrum of users as possible to provide enhanced Soldier products, giving them superiority on the battlefield. Near term efforts include the integration of goggles with the weapon sights for Rapid Target Acquisition (RTA) in a realistic operating environment, thereby increasing Soldier lethality. This project also develops a Family of Weapon Sights (FWS) with fused electro-optical performance, including focal plane arrays and high resolution micro-displays. FWS enabling technologies increase product resolution, range, and imaging performance. New technologies improve Soldier lethality, survivability, reduce weight, and improve affordability, mobility and comfort to combat and training environments. In addtion this project explores insertion of technology that improves the Soldier's ability to detect Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) Detection.
