SEPTEMBER 2024 | TECHNOLOGY REPORT | NIGHT VISION AND SITUATIONAL AWARENESS
How night vision devices and soldier-worn sensors are underpinning advanced tactical C4ISR capabilities
In Shephard’s new Technology Report, Gerrard Cowan explores how the latest night vision systems can do so much more than ‘see in the dark’ and the way they can interact with other dismounted devices to create a comprehensive picture of the battlefield.
In Part 1 Gerrard tackles the current and future potential of night vision devices, examining new use cases and augmentations for what is now a mature technology, including sensor fusion, display overlays and fresh approaches to the perennial SWAP challenge of providing portable capabilities effectively and reliably.
Part 2 takes a wide view of soldier-worn sensor systems, assessing how developers can capitalise on the variety of digital devices now available to enhance lethality and survivability and create a truly battlespace-wide network, while addressing concerns such as data security and cognitive overload.

Night vision systems have been a vital part of military operations for many decades now, but the technology must continuously evolve in today’s challenging threat environment. Shephard examines the work developers are carrying out to enhance NVGs and similar devices, and their role on the future battlefield.
Dismounted soldiers today form just one element of a wider, multi-domain network, encompassing a range of sensors. How is soldier-worn technology advancing to enhance tactical situational awareness and help integrate personnel into the wider battlespace picture?
