ARL Explores Benefits of Immersive Technology for Soldiers
ADELPHI, Md., Jan. 18, 2019 — Researchers at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL), in collaboration with the University of Minnesota and the U.S. Army’s Institute for Creative Technologies (ICT), have investigated methods for assessing the usefulness of virtual and augmented reality (VR and AR) systems for soldiers. The emergence of next-generation immersive devices like the Oculus Rift and Microsoft HoloLens has increased interest in using mixed reality to simulate training, enhance command and control, and improve the...
RIT Team Is Developing Computer Vision Technology to Improve Aerial Tracking
ROCHESTER, N.Y., Jan. 9, 2019 — Researchers at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) are developing a visual tracking system to more accurately locate and follow moving objects under surveillance. Using deep learning, the system could generate more reliable readings of moving...
Millimeter Wave Imager 'Sees' Through Solid Objects
NEWARK, Del., Jan. 4, 2019 — A camera-like device that generates and detects millimeter waves that “see” through solid objects has been built by a University of Delaware (UD) student engineering team. These high-frequency waves, which are more energetic than microwaves but less...
IR Image Encoding and Camouflage System Uses Plasmonics to Hide Images from Naked Eye
ORLANDO, Fla., Dec. 22, 2018 — Using a plasmonic nanostructure, researchers at the University of Central Florida (UCF) have devised a way to hide information on the surface of a material, so that it is only visible through an IR lens or camera that is tuned to the correct IR...
Hidden In The Shadows No More
Apr 24, 2018 — Thermal cameras are actively deployed on aerial and ground vehicles, in watchtowers, and at checkpoints for surveillance purposes. More recently, thermal cameras are becoming available for use as body-worn cameras. Researchers at the U.S. Army...

Airborne Optics to See and Strike
Oct 20, 2016 — For optics, part of the future is up in the air. Airborne imaging depends on optics to get light where it needs to go. Now, larger detectors in traditional imaging bands, and others that operate in relatively new spectral ranges, are forcing optical...
Overcoming Precision-Guided Munitions, Sensing Challenges
Oct 19, 2016 — Situational awareness is an ever-increasing challenge for armed forces deployed across vast areas and engaged in multiple conflicts. Modern soldiers have become data collectors in today’s complex command, communication and control systems, and...
L-3 to Deliver EO/IR Systems to Military Customer
FARNBOROUGH, England, July 15, 2016 — L-3 Communications said its Wescam division has received multiple orders from General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc. (GA-ASI) for its MXTM-15D electro-optical and infrared (EO/IR) designator systems for an international military customer. L-3’s...
Binocular Vision System Enables UAVs to Refuel Autonomously
BEIJING, May 20, 2016 — A binocular vision-based platform has simulated Autonomous Aerial Refueling (AAR) between two Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in real-time, using a boom approach. The platform may be the first step toward a vision-based sensor and navigation system...
Lockheed Reaches Optical System Milestone for F-35 Fighter Plane
ORLANDO, Fla., March 4, 2016 — Lockheed Martin Corp. said it has delivered its 200th electro-optical targeting system (EOTS) for armed forces’ F-35 Lightning II fighter plane. The company is delivering F-35 EOTS under low-rate initial production contracts with a total of...
Marines Use Augmented Reality in Live-Fire Testing
ARLINGTON, Va., Sept. 1, 2015 — For the first time, U.S. Marine Corps officer candidates recently used augmented reality technology during live-fire training exercises. The Augmented Immersive Team Trainer (AITT) systems comprise a laptop, software, battery and helmet-mounted...
Consumers and Cost Are Driving Infrared Imagers into New Markets
Apr 3, 2015 — Once the exclusive domain of the military, infrared imagers are now taking commercial applications by storm, thanks to lower prices and better technology. In fact, it seems the only limit to this flourishing technology is our imagination....
