SOLDIER PRECISION TARGETING DEVICES - ADV DEV
Abstract
This project enables development of emerging capabilities for the maneuvers and fires community, that are envisioned by the Soldier Lethality Cross Functional Team, the Maneuver Center of Excellence (MCoE), the Fires Center of Excellence (FCoE), the Maneuver Capabilities Development Integration Directorate (MCDID), the Science and Technology (S&T) community, industry partners or the acquisition workforce that may provide the Soldier or Squad increased capability to "fight, win and survive, day and night, in a multi- domain environment now and tomorrow." This project also allows pursuit of technology breakthroughs that challenge current technical solutions and have the potential for providing increased Soldier performance. This project focuses on developing component technologies and representative prototype systems for Soldier portable precision targeting devices to continue improvements to system performance while reducing size, weight, and power required by those systems. The effort will consider emerging Micro-Electronic Modules (MEMs) technologies for improved efficiency and performance. Efforts will improve the Soldier's ability to precisely locate and designate targets across a broader range of operating environments, including all weather conditions, GPS-contested environments using active and passive methodologies and technologies. Component technology development will precede integration into specific systems and will include improved Precision Azimuth and Vertical Angle Measurement (PAVAM) devices; solid-state, improved lasers for range finding/designation/marking; electro-optical sensors such as infrared, near-infrared, ultra-violet, and visible spectrum imagers; sensor and data fusion; laser designator spot detection and imaging; integration of advanced power management technologies. Funding in this project aligns with Army's priorities in support of the National Defense Strategy.
