Sensor Fusion Clip-On Night Vision Device for SOF Combat Assault Rifle (Special Operations Command)
Abstract
This competitive test project will evaluate a Sensor Fusion Clip-on Night Vision Device (CNVD) for the Special Operations Forces (SOF) Combat Assault Rifle (SCAR) that integrates the technologies of both thermal and image intensification into one sight. This will provide the SOF warfighter a greater advantage when operating in austere environments. The primary outputs and efficiencies are as follows: (1) demonstrate significant improvement in target acquisition in rain, mist, smoke, vegetation, fog, dust, and low light; (2) the RDT&E cost avoidance is $7.000 million; (3) manufacturing cost avoidance is $13.000 million; (4) procurement cost avoidance is $48.000 million; and (5) Operations and support cost avoidance is $2.800 million. Completion date is scheduled for September 2010.
