Designed in collaboration with Selex ES and the Italian Army, i-Aware is an advanced, multi-purpose NVG designed to connect dismounted soldiers to the tactical network, and provide real-time video access to critical tactical intelligence for improved decision-making in the battlefield.
Capable of enhancing operational effectiveness in both night and daytime missions, the goggles offer the same night-vision capabilities in a light-weight binocular as the AN/PVS-14 goggles, but with advanced technical features to augment soldier mobility.
Integrated with the capability to transmit and receive imagery from the soldier’s point of view, the lightweight third-generation device also offers integrated colour video, advanced imagery displays, and shared situational awareness to enhance soldiers’ operational effectiveness in both night and daytime missions.
i-Aware can either be operated independently or as part of a larger network comprising the Exelis SpearNet team member radio. Additional features include video import and export capabilities, GPS viewing, mapping, as well as command text messages.
