MENLO PARK, Calif.,
April 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- SRI International has received an award to deliver digital
night vision camera prototypes to support the U.S. Army's IVAS
(Integrated Visual Augmentation System) program. The award was
issued by SOSSEC, Inc. on behalf of the Night Vision and Electronic
Sensor Directorate (NVESD). In support of the program, SRI will
design a low-light-level CMOS image sensor and integrate the device
into a custom camera module optimized for low size, weight and
power (SWAP).
"The IVAS program is a tremendous opportunity for SRI
International to demonstrate solid-state low-light-level imaging
technology in a low-SWAP camera module that can enhance a warrior's
situational awareness," said Colin
Earle, associate director, Imaging Systems, SRI
International. "SRI has been steadily advancing the low-light-level
performance of night vision CMOS (NV-CMOS®) image sensors and we
are pleased that the IVAS program will incorporate our fourth
generation NV-CMOS imagers."
The Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS) is designed to
incorporate head, body, and weapon technologies on individual
soldiers. It is a single platform that the warfighter can use to
fight, rehearse, and train that provides increased lethality,
mobility, and situational awareness necessary to overmatch current
and future adversaries. The system includes squad-level combat
training capability, for repeated iterations of training and
rehearsals.
