Stationary human target detection at night using the low-light and thermal sensors. At high moon illumination levels, soldiers could detect human targets in the open with low-light sensors. Warfighters’ ability to detect human targets decreased with decreasing illumination from the moon. Warfighters used IVAS thermal capabilities to improve situational awareness. Thermal sensors experienced latency making movement challenging. - Platoon maneuvers during daylight and twilight conditions. A platoon-sized element of 49 warfighters conducted ambush and attack missions against a squad of threat forces. During these activities, IVAS proved most useful during maneuver to maintain formation and improve situational awareness, including detection of opposing forces that would have otherwise remained hidden. IVAS was least useful indoors, at night, and when in close contact with the enemy.
