The technology will increase the user's ability to locate and engage threats and access common operating environment imagery.
The ENVG-B will also include a new high-resolution display and an embedded soldier wireless personal area network, rapid target acquisition and augmented reality algorithms to interface with the US Army’s Nett Warrior. The complete system will interface with the army’s next-generation family of weapon sights, while enhancing interoperability and data sharing.
