Phase II: Augmented Reality for Chemical and Biological Defense (ARCBaD)

The US military realizes that the introduction of Augmented Reality (AR), when combined with precision location capabilities and state of the art Chemical and Radiological sensors will greatly enhance the situational awareness of mounted and dismounted personnel, allowing faster and safer operations in a dangerous area. Building on a successful demonstration of detection on the move, our Phase II effort will integrate the latest chemical and radiation sensors on a manned or unmanned mobile platform, capture precision geo-located detections, and disseminate this information for visualization on an AR headset, ATAK device or convention display, by all resources in the battlespace. At the end of Phase II, we will have demonstrated a software solution compatible with the entire connected CBRN battlespace with applications across many networked sensor applications.
