It's part of an Augmented Reality data transmission system they're wringing out. Idea being that the goggles can feed you relevant information in real time from a multitude of sensors and data sources. As in, someone could designate a location in their visual range and you would be able to see it in your goggles, even 'through' terrain. A lot of it is pipedream stuff for now but it will be like a vidya HUD at some point.
Nah. Once the drones get good enough they will have a tech company sell subscriptions and people will pay a few hundred bucks for the privilege of flying a UAV and hitting targets or driving a treaded drone on a land advance.
People will complete hours of training for free to get a score high enough to use the real thing. YouTubers will get really good and learn all the meta.
If Ukraine had happened 15 years from now we'd be watching tons of videos of gamers wiping Russian columns. Some guys who dedicated thousands of hours and mastered the meta would do a stream showing how 10 of them, with old model drones, can route a Russian regiment.
Augmented reality like other anons said. You can see hostiles or civies spotted by other squads through the terrain marked relative to you or targets marked by drone recon. Sort of like spotting in battlefield. Maps can get laid out too I believe.
It integrates with the new fire control system/optic, which has a ballistics computer and laser range finder on board. The optic is cooler, instantly rezeros for any range. There is a better, true smart scope that's been deployed in Syria called SHARP where you flip it on for longer engagements and then the fun will only fire on calculated hits. Should really make recoil less of an issue and conserve ammo quite a bit, because instead of timing followup shots you just guide the reticle back on target and the gun fires when you have a hit.
The more basic optic is going out to everyone though. The bigger use will be feeding out the range finding/target data. This can in theory go out to small aerial drones and ground drones. You don't have to engage the enemy because a drone will light it up. Or the IFV you rode in on or another ground drone pops off a guided mortar and that takes out whatever you marked with the rifle. Or for bigger/harder targets it can call in a guided 155mm shell from supporting artillery or an air strike. Potential for way quicker and constant indirect fire support, particularly the nifty smart mortars that are getting worked on.
For recon, you also have these new cannisters the Air Force has that drops a frick ton of Coke bottle sized drones in a swarm that can scope out an urban area in detail and also call in fire.
The new rifle selection was based on the idea that all the new recon support will make it easier to make sure you get engagements at greater distance and can take advantage of the optic and indirect fire.
My favorite new toy are these rockets that pack 8-12 quad copters, each with an antivehicle EFP. You fire in a volley of rockets and get 60-500 drones scattered overhead.
It's literally just completed IOTE. The integration looks like shit because there isn't any, it's helmet agnostic and has no mounting hardware. That was a requirement of the program.
There have been mainstream articles about its struggles as recently as earlier this month:
https://www.realcleardefense.com/articles/2022/08/04/seeing_clearly_the_need_to_fund_envg-b_846151.html
You're probably too young to remember the OICW and a million other programs that seemed ready to go, and were then cancelled. The IVAS is this generation's OICW.
No, This generations OICW is the NGSW, the IVAS is this generations land warrior system. And I should point out, the HUD was one of the few aspects of the land warrior suite that didn't eventually get adopted in some form during the GWOT.
My point being if they've gotten through these many soldier hours without rewriting that the goggle format is probably fine. VR headsets come with that sort of mounting and of are similar weight.

That article's concerns are because the Army straight up fricking zeroed out ENVG-B procurement in favor of IVAS in the 2023 PB. Granted, that was probably because of budget trickery, but they're confident. The production decision will be made in October after IOTE results are delivered to Congress.
pic is the israeli version of tactical AR
there's a spinoff company that sells a civilian version marketed to cyclers for 800$ (every sight raptor). the military variant probably costs in that neighborhood too say 1-2k$. seems fairly scalable to equip the whole army with
test markers for the demonstration
its basically the next generation of technologies already in the army like tactical tablets and phones and pic related which is used by platoon commanders and allows them to see C2 system in 3d and mark targets.
the C2 system (and AR gogs,tablets....) is also supposed to connect to a tracking device on each soldier which shows you everyone's 3D position in realtime independently of GPS signals so you can see all your friendlies on it
it's basically like the thing in vidya where you see friendly markers on the minimap and though walls
mix of GPS and IMU-MEMS to calculate your position and radio ranging signals to have a network map of the distances of every soldier to every other soldier. should work well even under jamming if the soldiers are relatively close
thats probably why it says 4-100
a minimum of 3 distance measurements from 3 different radios whose positions are known are needed to find a 4th radio in 3D space. it's like a local rough version of GPS
nah it's fine
thats the camera feed (ar glasses have a camera in the middle) with the AR stuff overlaid. they didnt actually capture how the AR looks like to the human eye
you can easily see though that stuff if you ever tried an AR demonstration
Every technological advancement humanity has ever made is done in service to killing each other more efficiently. The fact that said technology can be used for other purposes is a side benefit.
would be dumb no to
its a faster more intuitive interface for C2 stuff that can tell you where friendlies and enemies are, and for various other sensors and drones which can improve your situational awareness
what's it like being moronic? Do you have any idea how much of what was being discussed and prototyped in the 90s and 00s with regards to individual soldier tech was adopted?
10th mountain used the future soldier kit in Iraq in the late 00s and liked some of it. Too many cables apparently but the GPS tagging feature was considered excellent.

You will never learn. Lol. Lmfao.
ghosts aren't real you dumbass
asses cant be dumb moron
Correct. They're a myth, like skeletons.
>t. ghost

You don't know that!
The future is indeed bright.

Why do video games have such a hard time getting multi cam right?
what am I looking at here? What do the cameras do?

America is playing the longgame, once this tech is advanced enough they'll be able to solve their recruiting issues by drafting all the gamers.

IVAS is never going to be issued looking like that.
Cope lol
It looks like shit and integration with the IHPS helmet is downright terrible.
What you're looking at is a proof of concept, at best.
you'll get one tapped by a brown troony who doesn't give a shit about your virginal terminally online opinions

come on dude

israelis have fantastic marketing. They're the Kimber of the military R&D world

Just another "Future Soldier" prototype program too far away from being fully fielded
Same song, augmented reality edition
what's it like being moronic? Do you have any idea how much of what was being discussed and prototyped in the 90s and 00s with regards to individual soldier tech was adopted?
I have much more trust in developments like the ENVG-B that are more restricted in scope
If they can downsize and lighten IVAS, great, get it in here
ITT: The Fallschirmjager died for this
Does anybody remember Land Warrior System
Imagine dropping into Iraq in 03' with that set of kit.
10th mountain used the future soldier kit in Iraq in the late 00s and liked some of it. Too many cables apparently but the GPS tagging feature was considered excellent.
