Operating an aircraft in a degraded visual environment (DVE) is one of the most challenging and stressful tasks for a military pilot, particularly during landing. There are many causes of DVE conditions, including naturally occurring smoke, fog, smog, clouds, sand, dust, heavy rain, blowing snow, darkness, and flat light. Those conditions can happen in combination, and some of the most challenging DVE is induced by the aircraft itself, creating a brownout or whiteout from dust, sand, or snow. Mitigation solutions for the problem of operating aircraft in a DVE fall into a few broad categories: enhanced vision, synthetic vision, and a combination of the two.
Proposed annual defense legislation includes funding for critical infrastructure upgrades to military facilities in Yuma, including the Barry M. Goldwater Range, Yuma Proving Ground and Marine Corps Air Station Yuma.

Growing Adoption of Counter-IED Solutions in Conflict Zones to Boost Market
The number of attacks facilitated by an improvised explosive device (IED) has witnessed a considerable surge over the past couple of decades due to which, the demand for counter-IED equipment and solutions has increased at a rapid pace. The considerable growth in the number of unforeseen terrorist attacks around the world has compelled governments to invest and deploy counter-IED solutions– a leading factor that is projected to drive the expansion of the global counter-IED market during the assessment period. In addition, the exponential rise in the adoption of counter-IED solutions, particularly in conflict zones around the world is another major factor that is likely to provide a boost to the market growth.
