A fine article in this month's wood pulp Army Magazine (story not available on-line) cover of which has an picture of a Ranger with the 101st Airborne (Air Assault) wearing an ENVG-B and inside there is a lot of discussion of Modernization Efforts aimed particularly at the Integrated Soldier and Squad Architecture...


and what it can do to improve the life and lot of the Dismounted Soldier. It's nothing I haven't harped on about here but discussion of ENVG-B as the " first signature modernization effort" leads seamlessly into discussion of IVAS as a Digital Night Vision Goggle which "also (piggybacking on ENVG-B) helps soldiers see a target, uses facial recognition software,translates  various languages and "allows (think of Sculley's Memorial Day message) soldiers to share information such as map coordinates and imagery from the battlefield". IVAS additionally will be interoperable with FLIR's Black Hornet Mini-Drone and a Soldier Borne Sensor which allows the sharing of the same screen and controls. 

Then the NGSW and all the benefits of low SWAP, everything trying to lighten the physical and cognitive load of the Warfighter. The Concentric circles are tightening. It's one effort and it's interoperability up and down the Echelons makes it one System with that little display tying it all together.
