Modern lithium ion batteries are known for their poor safety performance, with many reports of battery failure and fire having been reported. One of the major causes of battery fire is from the use of flammable solvents, such as organic carbonates, as the electrolyte. These hazards have long limited the usage of batteries in dangerous conditions, such as on the battlefield. To combat this issue, t ...

Attollo Engineering proposes to address the need for a quick-draw, pouch-storable laser rangefinder for day and night urban use. This self-contained unit will weigh less than 18 ounces and have a total volume less than 64 cubic inches. The system will provide post-fire target assurance, showing the operator where the laser landed on the target. In Phase I Attollo will survey and evaluate all relev ...

The SAL-UHP program is to develop and produce a compact, lightweight aiming and illumination system which helps to enable the operator to observe and identify targets at longer ranges than can be done with existing fielded laser devices. The proposed Envision SAL-UHP will allow the Warfighter to have a nighttime aiming and illumination capability which is significantly improved over legacy systems ...

The objective is to deliver (12) SAL-UHP prototypes at Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 7 to be used for demonstration in operational environments. The SAL-UHP prototype systems must provide the operator ability to illuminate 3 degree field of targets at 900m with a minimum high power output of 135 milliwatts (mW). Additionally the prototype systems must incorporate all good design practices for m ...

The purpose is to produce Miniature Aiming Ranging Laser (MARL) prototypes that will allow operators to illuminate and detect human targets from 0-900 meters, as well as vehicle targets from 0-3000 meters when using the AN/PVS-31 or AN/PVS-31A Binocular Night Vision Device (BNVD). The objective is to to produce higher performing weapon mounted laser ranging/aiming/pointing/illuminating prototypes ...

The objective of MARL is to develop applied research toward an innovative capability to allow operators to illuminate, detect, and range human targets from 0-900 meters and beyond when using the PVS-31 or PVS-31A Binocular Night Vision Device (BNVD). Envision seeks to design, develop, and deliver a novel, compact, lightweight LRF with integrated aiming, pointing, and illuminating lasers with an un ...

USSOCOM has been developing and using Visual Augmentation Systems (VAS) of varying sizes and capabilities for many years. These systems are available to the operator but are typically limited in their mission applicability. They are often limited in capability and only good for the mission they were developed for. Envision's effort seeks to develop a “device agnostic” capability which utilizes ...

As sensing, computing, and computational imaging technology advances, it becomes more feasible to integrate them into tightly coupled and fully featured solutions in minimal size, weight, and power – cost (SWaP-C) form factors. In this project, we will develop a camera system for use in a variety of scenarios, from surveillance to targeting systems. Our focus will be building a computational ima ...

Creative Microsystems will develop the Modular Vision Processing System (MVPS) for the VAS system of TALOS. CMC will incorporate the system into the bridge of the wide field of view night vision goggles, such as the GPNVG. The system will be based on the Movidius Myriad 2 visual processing unit combined with CMCs techniques to receive and send large amounts of image data over restricted interfaces ...
