The new Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS) is a system developed by the US Army for its troops to modernize the soldiers in the battlefield. Previously, NVGs or Night Vision Goggles enabled soldiers to see their targets even in the darkest of nights. It was a dream to develop a technology that could enable soldiers to see through the walls.
This dream has now come true. This IVAS system will also help mounted infantry and mechanized infantry soldiers to see through the wall in Close Quarter Combat Operations. Further Integrated with Satellite Systems, this IVAS can lead and guide the soldiers to their desired targets and destinations precisely. Further integrated with systems of digital maps, IVAS can guide the soldiers in close-quarter combat missions to locate, trace, track and target enemy points successfully and precisely. According to Popular Mechanics, IVAS receive feeds from the Omnidirectional cameras which are helmet mounted and installed outside of APCs and armored vehicles. These cameras are also installed through drones or robots in the battlefield that further transmit data to these IVAS and hence enable the soldiers to see through the walls of armored vehicles and buildings. This technology has been previously used in armored vehicle to protect drivers and crew with a camera installed at the front and sides of the armored car. This camera would transmit real-time and HD display to a screen inside the vehicle to guide the crew and driver.
