The US Army is taking its augmented reality headset to the skies.

The Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS), initially tested for soldiers on foot and then during transport in ground combat vehicles such as the Bradley tank, is now being deployed among aircrews and paratroopers in Black Hawk and Chinook helicopters, according to Savunma Blogu.

IVAS, küçük bir bilgisayara ve radyoya bağlanan başa takılan bir ekrandan oluşur. Gece görüşüne sahiptir ve bir askere, düşman savaşçılarının ve kendi birimlerinin konumu hakkında savaş alanı bilgilerini gösterebilir.

Kulaklık aynı zamanda hedefleri vurguluyor, diğerlerini tanımlamak için yüz tanıma yazılımını kullanıyor, çeşitli dilleri İngilizceye çeviriyor ve askerlerin harita koordinatları ve savaş alanında olup bitenlere ilişkin görüntüler de dahil olmak üzere dijital bilgileri paylaşmasına olanak tanıyor.

The US Army, which has ordered more than 120,000 of the custom HoloLens 2 headsets from Microsoft at a cost of $21.9 billion, describes IVAS as a next-generation tool and single platform to fight, rehearse and train.

Initial tests focused on soldiers on foot. The US Army then developed a capability for soldiers to maintain situational awareness using IVAS during transport.

The next step, operational tests with paratroopers, began in May, according to Savunma Blogu.

Tens of thousands of hours have so far been invested in user studies, field testing, feedback and assessments, culminating in a ‘user jury’ on 12 July that evaluated the latest version of IVAS ahead of operational testing later this month.

Janes, the form factor of the headset is settled. The US Army is now focusing on ensuring that the software meets its requirements.
