But these capabilities aren\u2019t good enough in an operational environment, Coulter said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThese can be broken, damaged [or] lost in an operational environment,\u201d he said. \u201cTrying to put in a password with tactical gloves when it\u2019s a tiny keyboard is not an optimal solution.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the wearables, soldiers&#8217; identities are verified using biometric data such as heartrates, gait, unique skin signatures and physical locations. The benefits of wearable technology is twofold: It makes the Army\u2019s systems increasingly secure, while being more intuitive for the soldier in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the first places the Army plans to \u201cexperiment and prove out\u201d wearables is with the Integrated Visual Augmentation System \u2014 essentially <a href=\"https:\/\/mco.arcpublishing.com\/composer\/defensenews.com\/artificial-intelligence\/2019\/10\/15\/can-the-army-perfect-an-ai-strategy-for-a-fast-and-deadly-future\/\">artificial intelligence-enhanced goggles<\/a> that assist with<a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/news\/your-army\/2019\/04\/08\/soldiers-marines-try-out-new-device-that-puts-mixed-reality-multiple-functions-into-warfighters-hands\/\"> navigation, targeting, and advanced night and thermal vision<\/a>. The IVAS effort is led by the Soldier Lethality Cross-Functional Team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army finds the technology quite promising, \u201cespecially when you talk about the infusion of more artificial intelligence and machine-learning capacity \u2014 to really study, to capture more data and tag it, and really understand the unique characteristics of each person,\u201d Coulter said. \u201cIt really gives us more confidence and ability to perform that effectively.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He added that the wearable technology is mature, and his team may field it in the coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wearable technology is something the Network CFT is closely watching, but it\u2019s also focused on protecting communications for manned-unmanned teaming, cyber situational awareness, the squad area network and <a

radio<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOver the next year we\u2019ll continue to see more and more technologies getting out of the S&amp;T domain and getting into the [project managers] for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/it-networks\/2020\/07\/20\/how-new-prototyping-dollars-will-help-army-network-modernization\/\" target=_blank>final
