ITT IIW: Multi-User Panoramic Synthetic Vision System

Multi-User Panoramic Synthetic Vision System (MPSVS)

Force protection and mission accomplishment shouldn't be a trade-off. 

Choosing between keeping your head down and accomplishing your mission is not a trade-off our soldiers should have to make. The reason soldiers choose to expose themselves is dedication to mission accomplishment. But what if our soldiers could stay visually aware of the battle space environment, ready to engage, or engage while remaining protected within the armor of a vehicle?

IIW has combined an un-obscured 360-degree 3-D vision system with a Remote Weapons Station (RWS). Combining the visual awareness of IIW's Multi-User Panoramic Synthetic Vision System (MPSVS) and a stabilized Remote Weapon Station, mounted crews can collaborate with shared Visual Situational Awareness (VSA) to independently surveil their environment for 360-degree vigilance and cooperatively engage targets while remaining under cover.

Key Features

  • 360-degree stereo 3-D vision
    • Color
    • Day/night electrical optical (EO)
    • Day, night, all weather infrared
    • Augmented vision - sensor fusion
  • Passive target designation
    • Passively place Target Reference Points (TRP) without moving a sensor or weapon

    • Provides video of shot location before and after shot was detected
  • Net-centric warfare - able to transmit data to remote locations
  • Recon on-the-run
    • Record and store 360-degree stereo 3-D vision of the entire mission without stopping and alerting adversaries
    • Store and playback the entire mission from another location

Benefits

  • Eliminate blind spots
  • Achieve visual command and control
  • Engage targets, remain unexposed
    • Safe from snipers
    • Shielded from Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs)
  • Collaborate

Missions

  • Defensive Counter-Sniper/
    Offensive Counter-Sniper
    • Combined with sniper detection systems, operators can go back in time to see who did the shooting
