Enhanced Night Vision Goggle-Binoculars continue the #USArmy’s effort to modernize our fighting force!
The new ENVG-B has both night vision and thermal-sensing capabilities and “stereoscopic binocular depth perception,” providing Soldiers with an illusion of depth on a flat image, officials said.
According to 82nd Airborne Division Soldiers who field-tested the new technology, the new ENVG-B is a “game changer” providing Soldiers with a unique advantage against an adversary,
Soldiers testing the new device had a 100 percent improvement in weapons qualifications using that ENVG-B, along with a 300 percent increase in detection of targets in day and night environments, and a 30 to 50 percent decrease in the time taken to shoot a target, Hodne added.

The Army plans to field more than 120,000 custom, ruggedized versions of Microsoft’s HoloLens headsets designed to project situational awareness information directly onto a soldier’s visor.
The Integrated Visual Augmentation System program looks at the soldier as a weapons system, the Army said. IVAS integrates key capabilities – such as high-resolution night, thermal and soldier-borne sensors as well as radio communications into a single, lightweight wearable device to improve information sharing and decision making for warfighters.
The system has also been fitted with facial recognition and language translation tools as well as rapid target acquisition and identification, performance assessment and biometric applications. It leverages augmented reality capabilities that enable the overlay of map displays, data or simulated images onto a soldier s view of the real environment.

US Army is developing new high-tech goggles that let soldiers see THROUGH armored vehicles and move through urban terrain using digital augmentation technology
The Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS) is being developed to address capability gaps in the dismounted close combat force
With IVAS, soldiers will be able to see through the armored Stryker and Bradley vehicles as if they have invisible armor
Both mounted and unmounted soldiers will get access to the high-spec goggles
IVAS has recently been approved to move form rapid prototyping to production and rapid fielding
The team behind the goggles is hoping to have hardware and software prototypes to the Operational Test scheduled for July 2021
