tenemos que hacer un programa sobre el IVAS. Es evidente

voluntarios?

U.S. Paratroopers test IVAS goggle during EDGE 21

The U.S. Army announced that last week Paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division, 1st Battalion 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment, trained with a prototype of the Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS) during Experimental Demonstration Gateway Exercise 2021 at Dugway Proving Ground, Utah.

According to an Army statement, the training familiarized the 1-508 Paratroopers with the system and allowed them to train with them in a field environment.

Currently, the IVAS program is one of the most revolutionary things Army done for the dismounted close combat force since the inception of night vision.

IVAS looks at the Soldier as a weapons system, carefully balancing weight and Soldier load with its enhanced capabilities. Therefore, the Army is looking to amplify the impact of one dismounted Soldier equipped with IVAS and apply its capability set to mounted platforms as well.

The IVAS packs a variety of impressive capabilities into one package. Night vision and thermal scope settings are both available at the press of a button. Soldiers can share topographical imagery or 3D maps of an objective at any time, whether rehearsing or in the field.

A Soldier can pair the IVAS to a weapon, enabling the weapon to be aimed using a reticle projected into their field of vision rather than holding it at the shoulder and peering through the scope. All members of a platoon can know where all of their teammates are at a given time, no matter how dark or dense the surrounding terrain.

Interesante artículo dando otro enfoque al IVAS señalando potencial como medio INPUT al "sistema" en vez de OUTPUT para el infante.

Tanto para controlar la salud del infante como otros aspectos operativos:

You could have a drone immediately infer where a soldier is interested and go and explore that area, and this is again having all passively without a soldier’s input at all

En mi opinión, ante la ingente cantidad de información que será recogida será imprescindible desarrollar sistemas expertos que gestionen de forma autónoma toda la información disponible mostrando lo vital de forma automática (y sea el modo estándar) y dejando que el infante solo de ordenes al dispositivo en momentos puntuales. Aunque ya nos estaríamos metiendo en el hilo de "Inteligencia artificial, redes..." o en el de "Tecnologías de defensa futura: el mañana posible o imposible".

La USAF se lo plantea para entrenar en reabastecimiento aéreo a sus estudiantes de B-1B:

Y la empresa española SIMLOC también apuesta por ello, en este caso realidad virtual:

El US Army lanza la integración del IVAS en aeronaves: https://www.army.mil/article/247930?linkId=122567024

Now, Army Futures Command (AFC) and Project Manager IVAS are testing the system to deliver the technology for aircrews and paratroopers in Black Hawk and Chinook helicopters.

“The Army is investing in resources to broaden the emerging capabilities of IVAS to improve effectiveness and safety of airborne Soldiers en route to their mission,” said Dr. Navin Mathur, IVAS platform integration project engineer with the Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) Center — a component of AFC’s Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM).

The first aircraft integration operational test with paratroopers using IVAS occurred in May at Experimentation Demonstration Gateway Event (EDGE) 21 — a precursor to Project Convergence 21 — with the 82nd Airborne Division aboard two Black Hawks. The same Soldiers finished testing IVAS weeks earlier during Soldier Touch Point 4 at Fort Bragg and incorporated what they learned in preparation for EDGE 21.

They received real-time video feeds to their IVAS headsets, from a camera mounted to the bottom of helicopters, while flying to the objective site. By pushing a button on the headset, they could toggle among the screens, making the images larger or smaller. Two squad leaders in separate Black Hawks also coordinated a mid-flight change of mission plans using the system.

Research is now focused on providing video feeds from Air-Launched Effects (ALE), small unmanned aerial vehicles released in flight from helicopters, to paratroopers and aircrew wearing IVAS. Soldiers could also use the headsets to control ALE instead of carrying a tablet.

Muy interesante. Y por poner en valor: tendrá la ventaja de ser un sistema más barato y ligero que el que voy a citar porque será obviamente más moderno, pero cuando lo tengan operativo generalizado entre sus pilotos de BlackHawk que es su transporte estándar, habrán pasado lustros en que los pilotos de NH-90 han dispuesto de tal capacidad con su visor de casco (TopOwl).

El IVAS pasará por un un "user jury" pasado mañana 12 de julio de 2021. Paso previo a un test operacional a finales de mes

The US Army will convene a ‘user jury' on 12 July to evaluate its latest iteration of the Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS) heads-up display in anticipation of launching operational testing later in the month.

Parece que de momento se paran los planes para el IVAS: https://www.janes.com/defence-news/news ... w-70529694

En el esquema que puso Kique un par de post antes, se aprecia cómo la decisión se tiene que tomar este trimestre. En nada dirán si siguen o deciden esperar...

No está nada claro. Parece que hay retraso. A mí me parecía un calendario muy ambicioso y con requisitos excesivos... pero por otra parte las capacidades suponen un salto: la mejor interfaz posible para los BMS
