Soldier Maneuver Sensors - Adv Dev
Abstract
This project supports efforts to evaluate and integrate technologies and representative prototype systems for the development of Soldier-borne sensor devices, transitioning from the laboratory to operational use. Efforts focus on proving out commonality across as broad a spectrum of users as possible to provide enhanced products that give Soldiers superiority on the battlefield. Near term efforts include the integration of Helmet Mounted Displays (HMDs) with weapon sights for a Rapid Target Acquisition (RTA) capability in a realistic environment, increasing Soldier situational awareness and lethality and integrating technology, which detects enemy snipers using precise target information to mitigate operational risk before sniper fire occurs. This project also integrates high resolution thermal focal plane arrays, integrated ballistic solutions for auto-adjusting reticles, and wireless technology with weapon sights, increasing range, performance, and capability, while decreasing system size and weight. These integration efforts improve Soldier situational awareness, lethality, survivability, mobility, and comfort in combat and training environments.
