Research abstract
Our goal is to develop a single device or modular group of devices weighing less than three pounds that can provide all of the functionality required for individual dismounted special forces for surveillance, small arms fire control, and tactical network connectivity. This challenge requires expertise not only in each of the individual modules for day sights, night vision, range finding, GPS, compassing, and RF communications -- but more importantly requires the ability to expertly combine these multiple elements in a space efficient and user friendly manner. It is in this area that Insight Technology excels. Our effort will include the development of mission scenarios, an analysis of the operational and functional requirements, a market survey of the latest available functional modules for each of the functions listed, trade studies to determine the optimal configuration of the system, risk reduction demonstrations or experiments, a preliminary design of the system configuration selected, and a final report.
