 Future Soldier Programs (FSP) are addressing changing
requirements for infantry systems, transformed from armored and
mechanized mobile combat to littoral, urban and surgical type
low-intensity conflict operations. Among the systems considered for
such programs are a
family of helmet-mounted integrated systems,
designed for Land Warrior.
These systems include helmet mounted display and
daylight video sight. For the future Force Warrior (FFW), an
integrated headgear is designed, providing the dismounted soldier
with increased situational awareness. Kaiser Electro-Optics Inc,
from the Rockwell Collins company has developed a compact, helmet
mounted high resolution Super VGA display that can be integrated
with standard hand held or wearable computers.
 Designated ProView SO35 it uses a monocular
full-color AMOLED display. The
system weighs 346 gram, of which 146 gr. are helmet mounted. The
display area provided by the system is 28 degrees wide by 21 deg.
high, at a resolution of 800x600 pixels or 22x17 at a resolution of
640x480 pixels.
A different type of helmet mounted display is provided
for soldiers operating from combat vehicles. The HTVS offers
continuous monitoring of electro-optical sensors, even when the
soldier is observing from the vehicle, operating machine guns or
other systems. The HTVS integrates a head mounted display, head
tracking system, high speed gimbals and infrared, thermal or Image
intensifier camera |
