Future Night Vision System

In this Phase I SBIR program, a Voxtel, Inc. led team proposes to develop the design of an ultra-lightweight, future night vision imaging system. During Phase I, we will perform the necessary performance, anthropometric, reliability, and safety tradeoff analysis, and we will optimize an approach to realizing a lightweight new generation night vision system (NVS) using advanced sensor technology. Our approach, based on hybrid and solid-state night vision sensors and helmet-mounted displays, will provide war fighters with a lightweight new generation night vision system that can be a standalone device and accept onboard sensor imagery for information fusion so as to increase situational awareness.
