agmented reality for US ARMY

so this is super cool but i wonder how heavy they are and what kind of power(batt and CPU)




i have used a similar system in the past where it was night vision and thermal so you could see people body heat in total darkness and that was years and years ago and was also a rifle sight

Wow, that is cool! I'm not up on current weaponry and things used in wars.

a reply to: penroc3

If everyone has those, wouldn't you have a better advantage fighting during the day?

If this is night vision, what is the advantage of fighting in the dark?

a reply to: NightSkyeB4Dawn

its multispectral imaging and a heads up display for day and night use.

The British Army have been training with this inovation since 2016.

www.gov.uk...

This video reminded me those dead body chalk outlines that police used to make in the floor of a crime scene.

I remember "back in the day" when you didn't starch your "uniform". .. Because it destroyed the IR and NV negating properties, and it wasn't even in the "regulations" or required. But everyone did it! Because it made you "stand out" in a good way!

"West Point" press on B.D.U.. Three seam, down the back!

I wouldn't be to in awe about "tech". Some "educated" idiot will eventually show its weak point...

if you notice at the end of the video they are all wearing packs that look like computers and a transmitter with a big whip antenna


i think this is just for situation awareness and I'm sure you can change the vision modes


alldaylong: SOF forces have been using something like this for quite a while in the 'dark', i got attached to a ranger unit and they had some pretty crazy gear and that was around 2009

some very impressive gear, some I wasn't allowed to even touch, i got to use the multispectral rifle scopes and a version of what i would call super binios. We could lase targets and all sorts of stuff with them and the most impressive thing was how much they could zoon in FLIR

a reply to: murphy22

yeah the anti IR/NV BDU's were pretty touchy and as far as i know is better but not much

I remember seeing a virtual reality device used for schooling the "Tragg" children in "Fantastic Planet", 1973.

Fantastic Planet, 1973

Why not use this tech?
Night to day vision.

I could use those out here in the woods.

Looks extremely interesting.

a reply to: NightSkyeB4Dawn

yeah but thoes are cameras and they are used but this is more than just image intensifications in the NV/IR/UV etc

they are a heads up and communications portal for soldier as well as the multispectral overlays


it might also help see where aircraft and other mobile assets are as well as targeting and marking targets.
