IVAS consiste en una pantalla de visualización frontal que permite a los combatientes experimentar la vision nocturna con realidad aumentada para mejorar la movilidad y el conocimiento de la situación. Permitirá a los soldados entrenar en entornos simulados con el mismo equipo que utilizan para combatir.
23 Nov. 2020 — Soldiers and Marines ran the Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS) through a company-sized 72-hour training mission at Fort Pickett, Va., at the end of October.
IVAS consists of a heads-up display to enable warfighters to experience augmented reality to enhance mobility and situational awareness and will enable soldiers to train in simulated environments with the same equipment they use to fight.
The exercise included one of the more difficult dismounted operations — a nighttime trench-clearing exercise. To make that challenging movement more realistic, soldiers weren’t limited to the IVAS goggle for targeting, night vision, thermal sights, and navigation capabilities. They also had micro-drones that they could launch and view through the goggle, conducting their own short-range reconnaissance of an obstacle before taking on the opposing force.
