The United States Army is always improving combat gear, warfare technology, and defense systems to not only preserve the nation’s best interests but also increase combat effectiveness and ensure soldier survivability.
Recently, TPMI unveiled a highly sophisticated yet extremely pivotal tech advancement aimed at improving the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS) for the US Army. The military technology innovator is dedicated to serving the ever-evolving landscape of warfare technology to discover cutting-edge advancements that will keep our troops safe and effective.
The IVAS is a 3D headset model that attaches to the headgear of a foot soldier and provides novel 3D mapping, rendering, navigational, and targeting facilities with countless features to enhance combat abilities. For instance, the IVAS is equipped with varying GPS systems for precise tracking during surveillance, stealth, and reconnaissance operations.
Moreover, the IVAS technology is also equipped with state-of-the-art ranging and automatic target acquisition technologies to increase the effectiveness of foot soldiers. However, there is still room for improvement in the $22 Billion initiative put forward by the United States Army in collaboration with the Program Executive Office Soldier, also known as PEO Soldier.
It is a US Army-controlled and authorized organization that is directly responsible for the rapid assessment, development, prototyping, and fielding of combat gear and military technology for soldiers. In collaboration, the IVAS is designed to help soldiers target more precisely, navigate uncharted environments safely, and communicate with visual rendering and 3D image localization.
IVAS uses local image processing and 3D rendering technology that collects data on visually identified objects, picked up by the combat data sensors on the headset, and relays it to technical image analysts operating off-site.
The image analysts rapidly process and analyze the images for categorical tagging and mapping on the soldier’s 3D-generated map. Despite the high-speed image processing and visual identification to keep soldiers informed about each and every object, moving or static, there is a serious challenge.
It is the issue of 'information overload' that can potentially be counterproductive to the core objective of IVAS, i.e., enhancing combat effectiveness and survivability. By identifying, localizing, and tagging multiple objects, the mixed reality visuals of soldiers could get crowded with unnecessary information.
Imagine a group of soldiers entering and scouting an uncharted building with a potential threat of armed militants or enemy groups. The rapid identification and display technology could put hundreds or even thousands of useless objects on the 3D map, creating confusion.
This is solved by the patented technology unveiled by TPMI recently. The US 11,188,800 B1 technology offers sophisticated viewing and volume rendering techniques that discard unnecessary object data to refine soldiers' visuals. The ‘800 technology is ready for integration with the IVAS headset models currently in testing and fielding by the PEO soldier.
The author of these patented technologies, now over 80, is also a Vietnam War veteran and US Army infantryman with decades of combat, research, and technical experience. He is Robert Douglas, a West Point graduate who studied nuclear war in the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
