Land Warrior Synthetic Environment Enhancements for Improved Targeting (LW SEE IT)

"Reality by Design (RBD) proposes to research, design and develop an advanced situational awareness capability for dismounted warriors to use while aiming and sighting using the Land Warrior (LW) system. This new capability will focus on providingsituational icon overlays on the video from a LW weapon sight based on the information available over the LW tactical network. RBD will use a Simulation Based Acquisition (SBA) approach during an iterative development process to arrive at an optimalsolution. This approach will maximize the use of existing Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) software and leverage fully from other RBD dismounted infantry virtual simulation efforts. In Phase 1, RBD will implement prototype Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs)for the purposes of demonstration, and for soliciting inputs, feedback and preferences from LW materiel and doctrinal personnel. The feedback received will to applied to refine the software design, development, integration and test plans to arrive at anend solution that matches the schedule and goals of increased lethality and survivability for LW. The system design and execution plan developed in Phase I will provide the framework and will facilitate the construction of an actual situational awarenesscapability for LW in Phase II. Commercial potential exists for fielding the capability within the LW program and for expansion into the law enforcement and emergency response markets as the techn
