Tactical Augmented Reality In The US Army

By Anthony Phillips


As of current, the US Army has been making use of bulky equipment in order to check the locations of enemies and teammates during their combat time. The problem with this type of equipment is that it may slow the soldiers down, making them more susceptible to possible enemy attacks. That is why the US Army has started making use of technology known as Tactical Augmented Reality or TAR, in order to cover these weaknesses.

When the TAR was created by the C5ISR Center US ARMY CCDC, the aim of the department was to make life for the soldiers easier. They aimed to make the senses of the soldiers sharper through technology. They also aimed to replace bulky equipment with compact, multipurpose ones.

The amazing thing about TAR is that it reduces the need for soldiers to have so many pieces of equipment under their belt. This one piece of equipment already has multiple uses such as a very comprehensive GPS system. This GPS system can help locate the whereabouts of the holder as well as his or her teammates and unidentified people.

Aside from that, the TAR is also equipped with night vision goggles that allow one to see in the dark. The amazing thing about these goggles is that they are also connected to the locator enabling one to have a clear view of the battlefield even at night. It also allows one to locate enemy whereabouts in the dark just in case they are hiding.

Before the TAR was created, the cadets had to make use of a hand held device similar to a phone in order to control the GPS system. With this TAR system though, they do not need to do that anymore because their devices would already geo register their location automatically. The great part about it is that the locator is wirelessly connected to the headset and eyepiece so there will be no wires to wear the holders down.

So one question about this device would be what it looks like because it is pretty hard to imagine its design. Well, it is basically a headset and eyepiece that is wirelessly connected to a tablet. It is also wirelessly connected to a thermal aiming device that is connected to the rifle in order to give the coordinates through the aiming device.

Lastly, this system has the ability to share data with others that hold the same device. So if a soldier would want to send his or her location, whether visuals or coordinates to other soldiers on his or her team, it is possible with the TAR. That aspect aims to truly enhance the teamwork of the whole brigade.

This great invention is a revolutionary one for the US Army. In the age of technology, battlefield tactics must also be upgraded in order to better the performance of the soldiers and enable them with lighter equipment to make them more agile. With this rather new invention, it is possible to work better as a team, save up cost on those bulky equipment, move at a faster pace, and overall increase performance.
